Did the Town of Gilford try and work with the Ames Family to get the proper permits, review with them the improper changes and violations. Did the town, in good faith, attempt to work things out before taking legal action????? That does not seem to be addressed here. I wonder what happened before the legal action took place.
"First things First the if they did not comply and laws, ordinances etc. were violated take appropriate action but always try and work with the property owner."
I do not have any problem with what I have seen going on at Ames Farm. I also have not used Ames Farm and its facilities. I have only been there one time a few years ago and my visit was very pleasant. I found Mr. Ames and his staff very friendly and accomodating.
It is refreshing that there is still a large privately owned parcel on this side of the lake that is not over crowded and so dense with condos or other development that the view from the water and road are lost.
To those who cry baby about the Ames's uses of their property I say you are the ones who would probably complain about your neighbors even in your home away from the lake. Seen it before and this rings of that type of situation to me. JMHO!!!!
