Three Coves Closed to Rafting

jrc · 11-22-2013, 08:20 AM

All the coves are a together and behind Ledge Island.

My letter is in the mail, it covers a request for appeal. If you want to slow down the appropriation of public areas of the lake by shore front owners, you owe it to your self to send one of your own.

For the cost of a stamp you can at least let the DOS know how you feel about this.

Bear Islander says that he would probably be for the NRZ if he lived there and I understand his reasoning. For a little work of collecting signatures, the petitioners had the State of NH essentially give them free property. Property the state holds in trust for all of us, is now restricted for our use and more enjoyable for them.

The petition process is amazingly lopsided, the threshold for signatures is tiny, the timing is swift, notification is only required of abutters, yet the lake belongs to all of NH.

HellRaZor, I'm not sure why the previous link didn't work -- it does for me. To insert it I used the "link" button in the message window. Please advise if there's a better way...

I found the written decision, it is dated 11/6/13. Thirty days is the time frame to request a rehearing:

And here is a link to a compendium of all the decisions:

A no-rafting petition was also approved on Lake Monomonac in July. Funny that no opposition attended that hearing or spoke against it. It is clear to me that the process is flawed.

Sorry to have been slow to respond (there's been a death in the family), but I will be working on my letter.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks again for posting the link, it must have been my connection as it is working now!
