Summary

Ken Bruland’s September 2006 letter opposed a fully enclosed building at Northcut Bay on Garden Island. He argued that State-land rules, safety, liability, public access, and the area’s undeveloped character all weighed against retaining it.

Evidence limits

This is one letter’s advocacy position; it does not establish the building’s legal status or the DNR’s final disposition.
