To the Editor:

My wife, Ellen, and I have been owners of the property at 33 Amherst Road, High Bar Harbor, since 1983. One of the most important things that attracted us to this area and our specific property (as is no doubt the case for most property owners in High Bar Harbor) is the view of and access to the water. The proposed raised bulkhead requirement will essentially block most residents from sitting in their yards or first-level decks and porches and enjoying the view and access to the water.
