I sent and email to the addresses named above. I got an immediate reply that said all questions/comments will be addressed in writing at the next meeting.
To Whom it May Concern,
It has come to my attention that there is a proposal out there which would place a "no wake zone" on certain parts of Lake Owasso. As someone who is looking to buy property on Lake Owasso and currently uses the lake for recreational activities several times a week, I have a vested interest in this proposition. I am opposed to the enforcement of a no wake zone on Owasso. There are other ways to control water quality on this wake through the use of structural and nonstructural BMPs, controlling the curly-leaf pondweed/Eurasian Watermilfoil, mitigating EACs, etc. I understand that a lot of these activities are already in effect but I question whether or not the BMPs that are put in place are maintained and monitored and just how proactive and aggressive the control of the "weeds" are.
I believe that implementing a no wake zone is the easy way out. I just want to make sure that all other efforts have been exhausted prior to this happening. I love Owasso. I don't want to see it harmed but I do want to keep boating there and eventually, I would like to own a home there.
I encourage you to remove the proposition for installation of a no wake zone on Lake Owasso.
