This is comical. Many (of course not all) shorefront owners want to regulate what boaters can and can't do (rafting, anchoring, etc) but then get miffed when they are regulated.
If you place a dock or a structure in the water, I think it's prudent to have a permit. What stops "homeowner bonehead" from putting a raft anywhere he/she wants?
You're placing an object on state property so I think a permit stating where it's planned to be is not unreasonable.
