A permit to manage the lake was applied for prior to Hurricane Ivan on May 10, 2004. The permit was issued on September 11, 2008. Click the dates to see the files.
I guess I was wrong about there being no problem before Ivan. I'm not denying there are people that were allowed to build too near the lake who are lobbying for this to protect their homes. I personally wish to restore the balance that was disrupted in 2005. I have never been in favor of the Trgger Point permit, but neither am I in favor of just letting the sand barrier bury the beauty of this place.
