Attorney Cooksey felt because of the combination <br />of the unsafe factors and the nuisance it causes to the campers, the <br />property owners at Blue Cypress Lake felt they did not want the airboats; <br />it was just not safe to run the airboats across the lake. <br />Lengthy discussion followed about the question of enforcement, <br />and of erecting signs at the entrance to Blue Cypress Lake at State <br />Road 60 advising that there would be no airboat launching. <br />Attorney Cooksey emphasized that he was not asking <br />the Board to prohibit airboats, he just wanted to point out the danger. <br />Discussion followed, and it was determined to have the <br />Public Works Department investigate the feasibility of having Ditch <br />34 at State Road 512 as an access point.
