WOW... some people never cease to amaze me! You buy property next to a commercial business, then expect the business to change to suit you?
Whats the big deal over Ames Farm? So what if he lets the public launch boats there for a fee? So what if he hosts Fishing Tournaments? Thats like the people who move to Weirs then complain about Bike Week...
He has to pay some exorbitant taxes on that piece of property, and lets face it those small cottages arent going to cover his tax bill, never mind make him a small profit!
I think people need to be careful what they wish for... If I were the Ames family I would seriously consider selling out to a BIG developer for some big $$$! Then watch as the crabby neighbors spend all thier $$ battling a big development company with DEEP pockets...
Just think of how that are would look with 200 or so condos, a much bigger dock footprint.... all that lovely traffic and the noise that comes with all those people using thier motorcycles, boats & jetski's!
or better yet, go completely agri and go back to cows & pigs.... STINKY!
