Canceled $30K wedding becomes dinner for Indiana homeless

<p>HARVEYS LAKE &#8212; A zoning board meeting slated for 7 tonight on the fate of a proposed floating restaurant has been postponed.</p><p>Edye Schneider submitted preliminary plans for the Kanu eatery last month and was slated to present a revised proposal to the Harveys Lake Zoning Hearing Board tonight.</p><p>However, Schneider&#8217;s attorney, Joseph Ferdinand, submitted a letter dated July 10, requesting the meeting be rescheduled to allow time for a final session with the Department of Environmental Protection.</p><p>A new date for the zoning board meeting has not yet been announced.</p><p>The unique restaurant idea hit turbulence in June when residents raised environmental concerns and questioned how the restaurant could impact lake usage.</p><p>On June 6, Schneider proposed constructing and operating a floating, dock-like seasonal restaurant established in the area of Poles 173 and 181.</p><p>At the hearing, Schneider explained a 30-by-30-foot restaurant would be anchored to the left of the public boat launch within 100 feet of shore in a no-wake zone.</p><p>The proposal featured five boat slips along two sides of the structure. A ramp would lead onto the floating dock.</p><p>A small boat, which could accommodate four to six people, would ferry guests from the public boat launch to the restaurant, she said at the June meeting. Patrons could park in the Fish and Boat Commission&#8217;s parking lot, she said.</p><p>A kitchen and restrooms would be located in the middle of the structure, according to preliminary plans.</p><p>Patrons could dine at lunch counters or benches with small tables located along the perimeter of the facility.</p><p>Schneider said the maximum capacity of the eatery and the type of anchor it would need is dependent on the weight of handicapped-accessible restrooms and reinforced septic tanks.</p><style>
