If you come up with any good solutions that might have even a remote chance of making it into rule or law please share it with the Wetlands people because we're all fresh out of ideas. (Oh yes, and while your at it, think about how you're going to sell it to those Safety people since they are the only authority that is allowed to regulate boating acting around here and if they won't support your idea it will be DOA.)

In the meantime, someone tell T.H.E. Binz to file a Standard Dredge and Fill Application to move that rock because the Town Clerk must forward that application type directly to the state. It cannot be held by the town.
Shore Things: you are correct, it's unenforceable. However, the damage and erosion is real. With that said, why then do the wetlands and environmentalists continually put the screws to people that want to do a minor impact thing such as to move a boulder? Furthermore, if I wanted to put up some kind of solution to mitigate and prevent the erosion to my property, such as to put boulders on the shoreline, (the same property on which I am being taxed), then I would get soundly rejected by the wetlands. I know this is the case because my neighbor tried and got rejected. Wetlands is zealous in its efforts to regulate the small issues, but instead should be focusing on the bigger problems.
