Proposal to add sand to Weirs Beach

It seems like this is more difficult than it needs to be when all the city is trying to do is improve a resource. And as to the policy or regulation that says since the city will "reduce the size of the lake" and that requires compensation.....................Really?

"A $70,000 study contained recommendations for how much sand should be returned, where it should be placed and measures needed to limit further erosion."

"Returning sand to the beach will slightly reduce the size of the lake. The DES mandates that such a reduction be compensated. Potential options for the city could be preservation of land in the area through the creation of a wetland."
