Question?...
What happens to all the buildings currently on properties within the lake buffer zone? Like the restaurant and the homes?
Some are in the buffer zone and are not lakefront. What happens to those?
Are they slated for demolition so the buffer zone can be restored?
Lars, the issue here is not that there are existing buildings, the issue is building new ones in the protection zone.

The buffer does not prohibit development, but does limit it.

As to the public meeting, I've seen these before. It's a requirement by the developer and usually is used by them to identify opposition. You are not required to give any information and generally being opposed doesn't mean anything as they are just going through the motions.

Actually Matt, this is not a required developer meeting. There was not one. This meeting is organized by the neighbors of the development to inform the community about what is getting ready to happen. The county has nothing to do with it.

Gotcha. Sorry it was just worded that way.

It is unrealistic to expect any ordinance to result in the demolition of existing structures that were built before the ordinance was enacted.

expired DO's are standard around here. This is how they do not inform the community properly. This is why one is told to hire a Lawyer to fight illegal developer giveaways because Planning is corrupt. Less than 10 days notice is given to affected neighbors so the chance of stoping anything illegal is slim to none. Dollar says their Land Use isn't correct for their size and some of the files on the original DO are missing.
