Of course bans benefit shoreline residents, but it is not a reasonable benefit. The problem is that when one area is banned, it concentrates those who raft into fewer spots. It would be best for all lakeshore property owners to share the rafting traffic, or just ban rafting all together. When one ban is approved, it is unfair to the rest of the property owners. What makes Braun Bay more special than Bahama Beach, Advent Cove, Buzzels Cove, Green's Basin, etc? In my view, there have been already too many bans approved, and some should be reversed. Then, Braun wouldn't have as much pressure and yet another ban would not be needed.
