I haven't seen any type of "responsible development" anywhere on the lake. Unless you consider the way the land looks 5 to 10 years after the project is done. People discussed in the past that they would like to see developers leave a large percentage of the existing hardwoods, natural lay of the land, etc. While I think this is what you mean by "responsible development" I am not sure it is either legal or possible with all of the logistical implications of building road, water, sewage, drainage , and other issues which are the liabilities of the developers.

I haven't seen Karis Park. I have only heard negative things about the way it currently looks, and that they are putting up "shanties" (250k house not good enough?) I have also heard these things mentioned about two condo developments which remain unfinished.

If in fact the Karis Park developer has acted irresponsibly, and will not procede in finishing the work that was started, the State can reclaim the land for public use. Eminent domain is clearly addressed for the State to procure land for public use in State Parks, etc.

I would like to think that there was a justifyable reason that they"raped" the land. But I would also think that most existing homesites would have projected a similar opinion if you were to have been around to witness them. Please, someone who was around during the 50s and 60s on the lake tell me what it looked like when houses sprang up...

I think that if the Karis Park development was mismanaged, and they have gone under that the HOBO organization could loby for public use of the land. I would like a place to park an RV on the southern side of the lake, and so would the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of the tax paying citizens of this State.
