This thread has obviously drawn a lot of interest on both sides. It would be interesting for someone to start a poll, for and against.

A poll like that on this forum would mean absolutely nothing. It is quite obvious based on the amount of people that frequent the dive (its packed every day and night at the pier, not to mention at the sandbars) that anyone against it would by FAR be in the minority. Go on their facebook page and look at the support they have.

The person that is complaining bought a home directly next to the pier in the weirs which is zoned commercial...did they really expect serenity??

The pier and the dive did absolutely nothing wrong and the town approved everything as being per their code. There is no argument here whatsoever. They have the right to run their business in a commercial area as they see fit as long as no noise ordinances or other town laws are broken.

In my opinion the Dive has added a lot of visitors to the Weirs. It is where it should be and I cannot think of a better place for it. They will be and have been very successful thus far in that location and I wish them well!

I think a better place for it would be in front of your home.

I have no skin in the game. I'm not on Winni but I can understand why people don't want to look at that out their front window, where ever it's parked.
It's never going to block my view but that doesn't mean I have no right to an opinion on the matter.

I guess I was smart not to buy a home abutting a commercial zoned property in the busiest area of the lake sandwiched between multiple live music bars and an arcade!! This is not rocket science! ..

Yes you where, but I still think it would look better in front of your property, JMO!
