Public Launching Ban Gilford

FLL, thanks for the heads-up. Apparently Mr Nix does not like to talk about what it would mean to one of those existing businesses if they decide to make a change or addition to a ramp. Anyone near residences is going to have a non-conforming use. Good luck with any future use changes.

And someone please tell me where John Q. Public from anywhere USA can access a ramp with parking in 17 locations in the Town of Gilford. Puh-leeze.

LP, I think Mr. Nix was referring to 17 ramps around the lake in general, not 17 ramps in Gilford alone. At least that's the way I read it but I could be wrong.

After re-reading you may be correct. However, his statement that this is not about Ames Farm is complete BS.

Bottomline is existing businesses will be impacts because they could be limited in changing their launch facilities or storage of boats in the future. Most importantly, it would lock out a great business from re-opening their ramp and just take one more access point away.

I rent a slip now but my first two years of boating I trailered to Ames Farm until upgraded to a larger boat. I'm glad to say I supported a local business/family. I don't know what their appeal rights are/were.

Perhaps Ames Farm should get a counter petition going. Either that or sell to some developer and put in 200 condos on the property with an major outdoor pool/party area complete with 10,000 watt stereo system.
