No lost cause...

This appears to be a typical "squeaky wheel" situation. Not that we should take it lightly. Leavens are obviously gunning for a "quiet pond" and to that I say.. Take a hike! To Beaver, Turtle, Round, Line or Halfway! Those are quiet ponds, the Lake we know as Holland Pond has no need for more rules.... this was my last communication with John Hasen:

Thanks for the info! I would like to attend the site meeting as well as the hearing? Is the site visit going to be complainant specific, or lake-wide? I can easily arrange access to 6 cottages/camp lots on South Shore drive, and with a little effort a couple on North Shore drive. I can even arrange for a by-water tour of the ENTIRE lake (minimal wake). I will notify all Landowners of our intent to sidle closely up to the shore-line for inspections. I have a watercraft at my disposal that will carry six hearty souls... Let me know if I can be of any assistance.‏

From John Hasen

Thanks. My guess is that the site visit can take place on the shore. The Panel generally likes to get an idea of the size of the lake and the uses (such as cottages) that surround it. We would probably just visit any public access point that would give the Panel the best idea of the size and uses, but if you are aware of good vantage points that would be helpful.
