Not an area resident, but family has owned on the lakes since 85. On the big lake since 95.

So these jet ski lifts...
Do these need permits? From what I read on the state websites, yes.

Can I look up if there are permits? I don't think they (neighbors) have any.

I'm not one to look to restrict access to anybody, the lake is there for everybody, but I have neighbors that are taking some liberties, and it's getting pretty ridiculous. They have them stacked two deep. They have the steel cradles up on the shoreline/in water, in addition to the lifts in the water. They will soon go 3 deep.They are right up to the property line. Its becoming a safety issue with all the congestion, don't even get me started on when they pull out/pull in at full throttle/high speed.

Every summer we've seen people put illegal moorings as well.
I'd like to start a conversation with them, but I want to make sure that I'm fully informed on my arguments.
