Schaffer said the original lease dates to 2003 and was amended in 2004 and 2010 to adjust construction timing and payment terms; under the contract the lessee was to provide boat slips, beach, fueling/loading docks, a restaurant, convenience store and bait shop, among other items, and payment terms included 3% of gross receipts during the first 20-year term, rising to 5% thereafter with a $500 monthly minimum.
