Land Use and Information Committee Meeting February 4, 2020 Page 2 of 4 bar and people were picnicking on his dock. Mr. Hamilton spent $11,000.00 in Burnett County and the campers will not spend that. The campers will send people home. Kent Jacobson is a resident on Devils Lake and is president of the Devils Lake Association. He is concerned about runoff. Mr. Jacobson commented there is enough growth on the lake and the campground will cause overexposure. Sue Hamilton stated there is already a resort and youth camp on the lake. This CUP is asking to build a brand new business in the middle of a residential area. Do you want to do that? Don Hamilton commented Mr. Chelmo has other options instead of building a business in the middle of a residential area. He suggested he sell or farm the property. He would like the CUP to be dismissed. Tom Wallace has owned a resort adjacent to Mr. Chelmo for 24 years. The lake has grown with too many people. The lake does not need another campground. He is against the CUP. Rose Catapano commented, this is a new campground and there are already campgrounds on the lake. Ms. Catapano has not seen the new plans and is wondering if the lake access is still part of the plan and if that information should be public. She stated there are already runoff issues. The campground will affect the lake and the 120 tax-paying residents. The campers do not pay the taxes. Please consider all issues with the campground.
