I know this is a tough issue that requires a <br /> pragmatic, long-term solution. <br /> As you and Jason Towne enter the home stretch in drafting revised ordinance language to present <br /> to the LUIC and, hopefully, the full County board, I'd like to offer myself and Steve Champlin as <br /> being fully available and at your service to review draft ordinance language prior to release to the <br /> public. Steve and I have spent over two years fighting the threat of a very large (90-180+unit) <br /> RV park "campground" in the Towns of Wood River and Trade Lake on the southern end of Big <br /> Wood Lake. This fight finally came to a successful conclusion last week in Burnett County Court <br /> when we settled and dismissed our lawsuit against the developer. <br /> For now, we have averted a worst-case scenario on Big Wood Lake and saved a bible <br /> camp, which will now be owned and operated by Forest Springs Camp & Conference Center(a <br /> highly-regarded religious charity). But we know we won't truly have peace of mind until there <br /> are better County rules for so-called "campgrounds". <br /> I've copied Steve on this note. He is a retired lawyer, previously with Dorsey& Whitney, LLP. <br /> Please don't hesitate to reach out to either or both of us directly. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Patrick R. Hansen <br /> Chair, Preserve Burnett County <br /> Chair, Concerned Citizens of Big Wood Lake <br /> (512) 560-1020 <br /> i <br />
