Municipal Improvement Request for Renovations to the Inn at Longshore, 260 Compo Rd. S., to be reviewed at upcoming P&Z Public Meeting

Planning and Zoning Director Mary Young announced that on May 6, 2024 at 7:00 PM, the Planning and Zoning Commission will be reviewing a request for a Positive Report for a Municipal Improvement for substantial improvements to the Inn at Longshore located within the Town-owned property known as Longshore Club Park at 260 Compo Rd. S. This was rescheduled from the Commission’s April 8, 2024, meeting. All application materials may be viewed on the Town’s website here.

A project narrative prepared by LANDTECH on behalf of Longshore Hospitality, LLC, states:

“Longshore Hospitality LLC plans for the Inn include extensive renovations and a proposed small addition. The interior renovations include but not limited to a new HVAC system throughout, replacement of the windows and doors, an increased number of guest rooms along with the renovation of the current rooms, updated ballroom and drawing rooms, updated lobby, completely remodeled kitchen that is associated with the Inn and restaurant, various plumbing and electrical upgrades and ADA compliance updates. The architect, Ken Nadler, is proposing to create a new entrance with a porte cochere. The other exterior renovations include a series of patios that will extend across the length of the building and have access to the great lawn and shoreline, new landscaping, upgraded exterior lighting and signage and replacement of siding and roofing. The estimated construction cost for this project is approximately $5 million. Site improvements will also include a new drive entrance, enhanced parking, and a robust landscaping plan around the site of the Inn. Site drainage will be included to provide water quality. Currently there is no drainage or water quality mitigation in the vicinity of the Inn.”
