I wonder if people complained this vociferously when they were building Castle in The Clouds, or Kimball Castle?

I really don't see what the issue is here. Why is this anyone's concern? Mr. Bahre bought the camp property, after it was offered to the town and other conservation groups at a discounted price. They politely declined to purchase the property. Now, while I agree it is a grand mansion, with a proposed guest house along the lines of those found in Newport RI, I don't see it as an eyesore, just another big house on the lake. Its Mr. Bahre's propert to do with as he pleases. If the variances are granted by the Town of Alton, it isn't any concern of mine. It's not like he has gone off the deep end and painted it Fuscia! There are alot worse things he could do with the property.
