I am a landowner.
There needs to be balance. This decision was made with no input from anyone opposed to it. So how can it possibly claim to take into account the needs of people never part of the process?
The process is ripe for misuse. I don't know if all the rules were followed to the letter of the law. But the notification rules are weird, I own land on the lake but I wasn't notified. Sure, for large lakes it impractical to notify all the abutters in writing but a public notice beyond the DOS website would be a start.
Broadhopper, I'm surprised that SBONH did not notify it's membership and get feedback. Yes there is some chatter on their website but an email should have been sent.
