          approximately 15 cars.  On both sides of the park are private               
          homes which extend down to the water.  No incorporated cities are           
          found to the north of Readmond.                                             
               The nearest public access to the shoreline to the north of             
          the property is approximately 4 miles away in Cross Village.                
          Cross Village is in Emmet County and is also the nearest public             
          access for boats to enter Lake Michigan.  The public area in                
          Cross Village includes 200 to 300 feet of lakefront property.               
               F.  Zoning Rules as to the Property                                    
               During 1992 and 1993, part of the property was zoned                   
          “scenic resource 2” (SR-2), and the rest of the property was                
          zoned “recreation residential 2” (RR-2).  The SR-2 class applied            
          to the 400 feet of the property that started at the M-119 road              
          right of way.6  The zoning restrictions overlapped any other                
          restriction placed on the property as to construction, building,            
          or development.                                                             
                    1.  SR-2 Class                                                    
               The SR-2 class is essentially a single-family, low-density,            
          residential classification that allows any residential-related              
          use.  The SR-2 class requires that a building lot have a minimum            
          size of 30,000 square feet, with at least one side measuring at             
          least 150 feet.  The portion of the property zoned SR-2 also                


               6 The road is the traveled part and the road right of way is           
          the easement in which the road exists.
