The desire to prevent building on the lake/pond is unrealistic. The conservationists should focus their efforts on enforcing the Shorline Protection rules and work with the owners to build a minimal impact home....one that dissappears from view when viewed from the water. All very doable with colors and tree screening.

The ramp restiction HAS TO BE illegal and contestable in court. It is a public ramp and, unless there are explicit exclusions as to it's use, it can be used for any lawful purpose.

I sympathize with the conservationists, but I'm sure this won't be the last home built on the lake....island or not.
