We are a bit uncomfortable with allowing ten foot wide, 300 square foot decks to stay on our public waters, but we can live with it.
We have some heartburn with allowing double density for boat slips solely because a property has more dwelling units on the same amount of shoreline, but we can live with it.
And we would have preferred to have more certainty when reviewing applications for solid piers on the Great Lakes or for individual permits for multi-unit dwellings, but we can live with it.
We can live with these things because this legislation as drafted does set clear limits on new piers and provides a mechanism for reviewing existing large party platforms so that we can make sure that no one is appropriating the public waters of this state for their own private use.
I mention these things because there may be attempts by other interests to amend or alter this legislation. Frankly, we would like a few amendments of our own. But we would suggest at this stage that any substantive changes to this carefully crafted compromise would very likely change our view of this bill.
So I urge you to approve this amended bill as is and to then urge the Assembly to concur with this version of Assembly Bill 850.
Thank you for your time. I would be happy to try to answer any questions."
