I am storing all the e-mails related to this issue in a folder labeled  
"Urban Sprawl." 
 
That's because our Iowa Department of "Natural Resources," already  
involved in commercial logging of Iowa's state parks, and in construction of  large 
dams and lakes, is now one of many Iowa promoters of urban sprawl. 
 
When we consider that Iowa land is North America's Amazon, an irreplaceable 
 resource, this is not merely a tragedy; it is a crime.

There is  an article and a map in today's DM Register.  The developer said 
he  
bought the land from a farmer a few years ago.  It is across a "bay"  to 
the 
north from the existing DNR facility.  The map shows the  proposed 
development to be back from the lake.

The article  mentioned condos, houses, fast-food restaurants, gas stations, 
 
etc..

I just saw the KCCI news story about it. The  developer referred to the
development as 'outside the  park.‘
