Councilwoman Swenson - I would like to go on record by saying that I do
not feel that this is right. I will go with this ordinance because I
think that it is here and something of this nature is going to be accepted
but I, for the large part, I think this entire structural regulation

thing, with the possible exception of fueling facilities and advertising
things and that type of thing, is totally unnecessary. I don't believe
that we require any type of regulation of this kind on private property. I
I have never heard of any complaints. I don't think anybody has abused
their lakeshore. I haven't been told of anybody that has received any. I
think we are exceeding our responsibilities by doing this. It has become
much more restrictive than it started out to be. I think we asked for
something simple and I think we have come up with a very voluminous point
by point thing. I think this is an unnecessary ordinance that is going to
be very difficult to enforce.
