I don ' t remember all of the conditions the Plan Commission recommended , but I very much like several . Specifically : fire prevention (having a well before any fires and requiring safe fire pits) limiting the total number of people who can be there at one time limiting how long a tent or trailer could be there (although I think a ten-day limit - which would allow someone to retreat during their summer vacation - more reasonable than three days) requiring appropriate sanitary facilities (whether port-a-pots or an approved septic system) As someone who strongly prefers government to stay out of my business, I think a couple of the recommended conditions go beyond the appropriate role of government. For example, requiring a fence between this land and the DNR' s land seems a bit extreme. If they perceive themselves to be in danger , let them put up a fence; if they don' t, let it be. Or , as another example , having some kind of special requirements about garbage disposal seems to me to duplicate ordinances already in place. Surely our government has better things to do than to require something that' s already required . At the time, I didn' t feel very strongly about the condition for a two-lane driveway (which would have to be built on my land since they have easement) . During this week , however, I 've looked again at my driveway and can ' t figure a way they could build one without cutting down my trees. I would very much dislike losing the shaded drive and ask you to consider its necessity very carefully. In closing , let me repeat my support for this conditional use request. As the person surrounded by this parcel , I care very deeply about how it is used . I prefer a use which will maintain the wooded nature of the land - which this use will - and which allows me to have some input into how that land is used - which this does.
