We also need a dock where we can pick up and drop off waterskiers and a place where boaters can tie up for short durations. While these areas need to be divided from one another, both could and should be accomadated here. As far as shoreline regulations being different for public vs private use, I believe that shoreline regulation exceptions should be made in instances where the benefits for the public good are concerned. The lake is a public resource and recreational opportunities in it and on it should be available to all, not just the people that are fortunate enough to be able to afford property bordering it.
