OK, I met with the county today, along with the other users of the area (trap club & dragstrip). I explained the risks to everybody if our planes start showering down out of control, possibly caused by the non-club flyers operating within 3 miles. Everybody hates the situation we're in, but the county doesn't think they can legally kick these guys out from the boat ramp area, as it is public property.
I'm sorry that the county wouldn't step up and help resolve the situation. It also doesn't make much sense to me. The county certainly has the right to set reasonable use restrictions on the land it owns. It certainly would be reasonable for them to restrict flying to the area already designated and developed for it. It would be just as reasonable for them to require some sort of frequency agreement for the secondary area, and post notices of such so that all users would be aware. I think they are ducking responsibility here.
