KEA Comments on the Falls at Hayden Lake Dock Application from Timber Ridge LLC
comments dated Dec 22, 2009 in preparation for the Jan 7th hearing
Within these comments, we express our serious concerns with the application to permit construction of 10,380.75 square feet of decking resulting in an encroachment of 33,104 square feet of lake surface, extending some 130 feet into Hayden Lake in Kootenai County, Idaho. On balance, we are concerned that this intense encroachment to public waters outweighs the minimal public benefits, which appear to be limited to emergency moorage for Northern Lakes Fire District for unspecified emergencies.
