"The first sentence of this section states the permit area is a 15-acre recreational area. This sentence is factually incorrect. A simple examination of the current Special Use Permit (SUP) reveals that the permit is 10.53 acres. The 15-acre number is in the application and has been repeatedly parroted to the public to create an untrue narrative. 15 acres exists nowhere. The applicant is apparently proposing to increase the area under the lease to 19.38 acres. The lakefront area is proposed to increase to 14.16 acres. This is documented on the Proposed Permit Area provided by WGM dated April 11, 2022. The proposed application should be rejected based on this factual misstatement alone. The incorrect current acreage has been repeated to the Public for 34 of the 37-day comment period." —Excerpt from public comment submitted by David Roberts
