They're saying the difference is the ramps were there in 1962 but only as an accessory to the cottage renters bringing their own boats to launch, as opposed to someone like me trailering in from out-of-town to launch and park my truck/trailer for the day for a fee (that would be the primary use they're referring to in the minutes).

That being said, I certainly hope your pictures can prove in some way that the site was being used as a boat storage facility.
I guess it's the wording that is unclear...is it the intense use that had to be there before 1962 or the accessory use? The phrase "This use" comes right after "accessory use." And if accessory use is defined as guests only, while intense use is the general public, then it definitely was intense use back in 1988.
