Furthermore, we have witnessed multiple boats of rowers on the water many times <br />per day, at all hours during the day, which is signiflcantly more than the proposed <br />times listed on the application. <br />With the intent to grow from today’s size, this problem will get worse. If allowed, <br />how will the business be monitored to remain within the parameters of the permit? <br /> <br /> <br />5) We have witnessed rowing activity before the designated business start time of <br />7am. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, even after they received the original letter from the city and personally <br />speaking with the Sheriff regarding megaphone usage and illegal parking, there has been <br />no visible effort made by the business/homeowner to reduce their negative impact on <br />those around them and make any changes or attempts to conform to what has been asked <br />of them. <br />It appears they are ignoring both the city and law enforcement.

I don’t believe we should be obligated to make exceptions for illegal activity <br />that unfairly beneflts some, simultaneously hurting others. I shouldn’t have to deal with <br />this, and when one considers how many city ordinances they’re breaking, I feel this is too <br />unreasonable to consider approval or any variation of it. <br /> <br />Another issue for lake users is when the team rows, it’s never one or two boats. It’s usually <br />8-10-14 rowboats, plus two chase boats and they monopolize the lake. If you’ve seen <br />these rowboats in use, they each take a large amount of space on the water, all spread out <br />typically into several groups, and ultimately end up using literally the entire lake making it
