Yum Balisi Sustainable Luxury Resort - Department of Environment

1. Luxury Cottages: The project will have five (5) luxury cottages having an average
footprint of 1200 ft 2 (See Figure 1.4 and 1.5 and 1.5a). Each unit will have a bedroom
with a private bath, a living area including a screen porch and an open deck outfitted
with a Jacuzzi. These units are designed to accommodate two persons per building
with the living area furnished with a microwave, coffee maker and small refrigerator
on one section and a TV and Internet connection on another section, and
accompanying furniture.
2. Premium Cottages: There are fourteen (14) Premium Cottages proposed, each
having an average footprint of approximately 600 ft 2. (See Figure 1. 6 and 1. 7). These
cottages will consist primarily of a luxury room with it adjoining private bath, a
screened porch, and an unroofed deck. Room will be furnished with a microwave,
coffee maker, small refrigerator, TV and Internet connection and other supporting
furniture and fixtures.
3. Deluxe Cottages: There are ten (10) proposed Deluxe Cottages each having an
average foot prints of approximately 550 ft 2 . (See Figure 1.8 and 1.9). These cottages
will consist primarily of a deluxe room with it adjoining private bath, a screened
perch, and an unroofed deck. Rooms will be furnished with a microwave, coffee
maker, small refrigerator, TV and Internet connection and other supporting furniture
and fixtures.
4. Eco Cottages: The project proposes six (6) of these Eco Cottages which will be built
as overwater structures with an average foot print of approximately 600 ft 2. These
structures are similar to the Premium Cottages, see Figure 1.6 and 1.7, only that they
will be constructed overwater. Three of the structures are proposed to be constructed
on the leeward side of the island with the remaining three constructed on the
northwest portion of the island several feet from the Research Center (where the
Fishermen House presently exists). The design and construction of these cottages will
meet or exceed the present Over Water Structure Guidelines. All overwater structures
will be interconnected to an elevated walkway designed to allow access to amenities
