A friend of mine owns one of the Timber lots, the one with the new docks on the inner side facing Mark. The large parcel of Timber which encompasses over 120 acres is under a conservation easement through the Lakes Region Conservation Trust however still appears to be owned by a private realty trust. There is 4 parcels on the island (3 building lots and area 4 which is considered the area in conservation) in all and the land in conservation is held in undivided interest equally between the owners. The conservation easement does not appear to grant public access-as a matter of fact it states that no right of access is conveyed to the trust, it appears to have been written to prevent further subdivision and development. I am not a lawyer so I may be misinterpreting this but it seems qute clear.
Chances are the swim lines and signs are located in one of the 3 permitted building lots. The Trust does have the right to post the entire property (in conservation) at will. If it is the lot on the south side chances are they are the majority owner of the island as they bought that parcel as well as the inner lot (although this is subject to use between the other owners). This certainly does not make shouting of profanities ok.
