Board approves private boat-ramp plan pending lake association sign-off
Summary
The board approved a private boat-ramp design and moved to authorize the ramp pending formal approval from the lake association; members emphasized gate/key control and signage to protect private property and access.
The Shamrock Lakes Town Board reviewed a proposal for a private boat ramp submitted by a resident (Paul) and approved the ramp design contingent on lake association approval and permitting.
Board members asked about signage and gate access; one member said "There'll probably be some signage in the gate," and the applicant agreed a gate and controlled key access would limit public use. Kelly praised the presentation and moved to approve the ramp pending the lake association’s sign-off; another member seconded the motion and the board voted in favor.
Members also discussed utility easements and advised calling 811 before any digging to verify there are no underground utilities across the proposed easement. The board agreed to provide the applicant with contact information for the lake association and to supply a paper copy of the proposal for final review before the association meets.
The approval is conditional: the ramp itself was approved by the board tonight but the applicant is responsible for obtaining any lake association permits or other authorizations required before construction.
