Leslie's Letter to John Hasen

Email that Leslie sent on May 28th.

Dear Mr. Hasen,

My name is Leslie Ives and I co-own two camps on Holland Pond - one on South Shore Drive and the other on North Shore Drive. I have been hearing rumors of a petition that was filed in regard to the use of motorboats on Holland Pond.

In viewing the WRP website, I see that this petition was indeed discussed at your May 23rd meeting. I have not been able to obtain any information on the contents of this petition and would appreciate a copy for review. I would also appreciate being notified of any and all hearings on this matter.

I have a great interest in Holland Pond. I have been a member of the Holland Pond community for over 40 years. It has been my experience that the only 'threat' to the harmony of this community comes from people. People who don't know the value of diversity - people that try to turn 'family boating' into a crime. As I'm sure you can tell, I am not in favor of any changes to the rules of use in regard to Holland Pond.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Leslie Ives
