This is not what you may think it is. This is a big lie on the part of Mr. Dexter.
Mr. Dexter has a campaign to stop development of an island on lake Wicwas. I have no opinion as to what he is trying to do on Wicwas. But the lies he is telling in his letter are outrageous.
Meredith building code has, for many years, required road access before you can obtain a building permit. When someone applied for an island building permit this requirement was ignored as being "not applicable". Obviously unbridged islands can't have road access.
In order to prevent development of his favorite island, Mr. Dexter insists the the letter of the law be enforced. This means that at this time you can not obtain a building permit for an island in Meredith without going through a very long expensive process.
The Warrant in question would eliminate the road access requirement for unbridged islands. It's only about closing up a loophole. The Warrant will put things back to the way they were before Mr. Dexter pulled this rabbit out of his hat.
What is outrageous is that he is hiding his real motives, and claiming that the Warrant is a lot more than it really is.
He is trying to stop all development on all islands so he can control land he does not own.
By the way. After April 1 you will still need a Meredith building permit AND a state permit.
