Please tell me what I am missing which I am sure is a lot!
For the record, Ames Farm in my opinion has always been a wonderful place for non waterfront people, NH residents and out of state residents to launch boats for many many years and should be left that way. They are and always have been a great neighbor in the Gilford community (I think???).
They also have a great restaurant!! :-)

Specifically it would prevent Ames Farm from operating as they previously did with a public boat launch. Realize that just because a facility is not "free" it is still considered a public launch. It also prevents even public boat storage as well.
Notice the language about not only residential lots but those in their "natural state" could never be used for a public launch if the luanch was within 1500 ft. That's over a 1/4 mile (0.284 mile to be exact) away. I don't know many, if any places around the lake where there is a 1/4 mile distance to a residence.
There is one gotcha that I would stick up their tailpipes that I'm going to withhold so as not to tip them about what makes the ordinance not air-tight. It actually could work against the homeowners. He must not be a very good lawyer
