<br /> here , let ' s find out some of these Yacts . �1nd, of course , Don Fruen, that
<br /> was here , and also Jerome Kuhn, from the Conservation I)epartment . Another
<br /> one that has warned, in fact he gave me a real heartbeat t,ype of a pitch,
<br /> into terms of use of the lake in here . And sure , eac�� commercial interest,
<br /> and each one by and of itself c�n sound ver�� nice , and I am trying to
<br /> gather more facts in terms of trying to make a reasonable type of a c3ecision ,
<br /> but I also feel that this has to be looked �t at the total picture. I
<br /> know the old cry of sa.ying give me what I want right now, and then we ' l1
<br /> let the rest take care of it a little bit later. Now, I think �ve 've got
<br /> to be sure that we are not moved from one spot to another by just that
<br /> consideration, because certainly some one family could r�zn their raw
<br /> sewage into the lake , and this probably wou�d not even be deteeted, �znless
<br /> yoiz measured right in front, but when we start having 34,000 people around
<br /> here , it ' s obvioud that that ' s not possible . So I think that we can' t
<br /> look at any one situation and say I 'm only increasing t}iis a l � ttle bit .
<br /> I think the signs of distress and tragedy on the ��ke are here right now.
<br /> And I think we had better step back to take a real serious look as to what
<br /> this means , and this is what I am trying to do, is to gath�r the facts ,
<br /> and of course we will have to give an answer in terms of the situation here,
<br /> and I 'm not trying to prejudge that at this point, but I ' d ce , tainly say
<br /> �vith the facts I have gathered, it certainly shows a seriousness of this.
<br /> And I think that certainly we recognize the commercial aspects of it--that ' s
<br /> very important, but I think also, we 've got to l.00k at the total use of
<br /> the lake , and what this brings and means towa.rds the future . So I only
<br /> want to say that in terms of what I feel is extremely important in making
<br /> a logical and reasonable type of decision as to �vhat is done . And I
<br /> tYlink the facts to date point one �vay clear--that it ' s in serious trotable ,
<br /> and I think now we 've got to take some action that is going to be rea—
<br /> sonable and ho�v do we deal with t}ris for some guidance into the fi�ttzre?
<br /> APPLAUSE
<br /> Kaye �esterlund: Just one question. There ' s be� n a great deal of talk
<br /> here �bout boats and increased traffic. Has anybody checked into the
<br /> amount of damage that is being done to the lake by the residents ar�nund
<br /> the lake , due to bad septic systems and things of that nature?
<br /> Franzel : In fact , tha.t ' s a very good question, Ne just passed an
<br /> ordinarice that requires mandatory hookups on our sewer lines al � the
<br /> v�ay through where the se�er is available , here , and any viol�tion, and
<br /> �qe are making checks , and there are some that are t�eing served in that
<br /> direction, for example , not too long ago there had to be a septie system
<br /> sealed because it wasn ' t high enou�h above the water. And I think ti�is
<br /> is something that we as a Village have to be extremely careful about �
<br /> in enforc ' , and the answer is yes , we ' re taking positive steps . !�'e 've
<br /> got a;+ t�me element for ever3�body to hook up tha.t ' s on the sewer
<br /> line right now.
<br /> �Testerlund : 1x'hat do you do in the event--the one that was sealed off--
<br /> what hal�pens with that , is the residencejust closed, , .
<br /> Franzel : No, what I mean se�led up, they were not high enough ��a��x�
<br /> above the water to get a good drainfield , so they had to put in a large
<br /> tank, and then it has to be pumped periodically so there is nothing that
<br /> is drained into the surrounding territoryl and tliis I think is on�y
<br /> logigal , and even though it ' s expeasive , the point is that if �e ' re go�ng
<br /> to protect what we 've got here , I think we can' t permit people . . . I lcnow
<br /> as one party pointed out , "Gee , I never have a bit of ���x�� trouble �sith
