Special Meeting of the Lake Lure Marine Commission & Lake Advisory Committee Special Meeting of the Lake Lure Marine Commission & Lake Advisory Committee Wednesday, March 16, 2005

The Lake Advisory Committee would like to highlight the following presentation is the result of volunteer, town management, and town leadership efforts which includes… Over 5 years of dedicated effort (1000+ hours of effort) Dozens of town meetings Dozens of LAC meetings Multiple workshops Multiple public hearings Extensive studies that began with 2001 Lake Use Study Extensive polling of community in form of survey Various Communications to the public in the form of multiple local news articles, multiple town newsletters, multiple lake front owner newsletters, mailings, phone conversations, and occasional television newscasts Over 5 years of dedicated effort (1000+ hours of effort) Dozens of town meetings Dozens of LAC meetings Multiple workshops Multiple public hearings Extensive studies that began with 2001 Lake Use Study Extensive polling of community in form of survey Various Communications to the public in the form of multiple local news articles, multiple town newsletters, multiple lake front owner newsletters, mailings, phone conversations, and occasional television newscasts

Estimating Lake Impact …Simple Arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) Hours per Day X X Days per Week X X # Of Weeks Acre Impact for Activity X X = = Acre/Hr Impact For Vessel Acre/Hr Impact For Vessel

Estimating Lake Impact …with lots of variables to account for Acre Impact for Activity Hours per Day X X Days per Week X X # Of Weeks X X = = Acre/Hr Impact For Vessel Acre/Hr Impact For Vessel Hrs per season Bus Oper. Hrs Seaso n Bus Oper Weeks per season Bus Oper Days % of day per activity Diff impact amounts for different activities

Estimating Lake Impact …Some of which are scalable to desired density % of day per activity Diff impact amounts for different activities Towed Water Activities = 11 Tours =4 Motorized Rental 10 HP or Less =3 Motorized Rental Greater than 10 HP =7 Fishing Guide =5 Service =4 Realty/Sales =4 Non Motorized =2

Estimating Lake Impact …density levels that impact safety and enjoyment enough that… Towed Water Activities =11 Tours =4 Motorized Rental 10 HP or Less =3 Motorized Rental Greater than 10 HP =7 Fishing Guide =5 Service =4 Realty/Sales =4 Non Motorized =2 …The U.S Government has established recommended levels Example, Department of Interior Recommends: acres per water vessel – Moderate Density acres per water vessel – High density acres per water vessel – Moderate Density acres per water vessel – High density

Estimating Lake Impact …scalable to allow maximum boat density

Estimating Lake Impact …to minimum boat density

Estimating Lake Impact …Lake Lure’s Goal is to remain balanced as much as possible Towed Water Activities20% Tour Boats11% Motorized Rental Less Than 10 hp8% Motorized Rental Greater than 10 HP56% Fishing Guide2% Service1% Real Estate Agent2% 100% 70% 30% (max)

Estimating Lake Impact …Using a careful blending of recommended safe levels combined with property owner feedback (survey), plus actual experience 70% 30% (max) Towed Water Activities = 11 Tours =4 Motorized Rental 10 HP or Less =3 Motorized Rental Greater than 10 HP =7 Fishing Guide =5 Service =4 Realty/Sales =4 Non Motorized =2

Estimating Lake Impact …Produced the following after extensive leveling

Estimating Lake Impact …which can be best summarized as the following: All lake commercial applications are approved with exception of the last three, which are related to towed water activities by non-resident based businesses Total of xx water vessels included in estimate x number of boats performing some level of tour activity x number of livery boats +10HP (xx of which are related to vacation rental homes) x number of livery boats 10HP or less x number of fishing guide boats x number of service boats All lake commercial applications are approved with exception of the last three, which are related to towed water activities by non-resident based businesses Total of xx water vessels included in estimate x number of boats performing some level of tour activity x number of livery boats +10HP (xx of which are related to vacation rental homes) x number of livery boats 10HP or less x number of fishing guide boats x number of service boats
