The people that have floating houses on the lake deserve to keep what they have worked so hard for. They should not have to change anything.... and should be grandfathered in under their current contacts and from any mandated changes.

I have been staying on floating houses for 8 years. Best time ever and how in the world is it hurting anything. I support to keep them please. We look forward to our trip to the floating house every year.

These people should be left alone. They take care of their property and deserve to have this little get away.

This would be a shame to do and an economic disaster to the area.

Keep the floating houses. They are a treasure for the community.

I grew up on Norris Lake, my grand parents lived within walking distance and family friends lived on the lake. In the past, I have also worked at a local marina for over 5 years. I can honestly say that my fondest memories from my childhood and even through adulthood were on the lake. Without the non-navigatable house boats, these memories would not exist. It would be a shame to eliminate these. I've enjoyed many summers enjoying visiting family and friends who own these structures. I can not see any reason to eliminate these, by doing so the future generations won't be able to create fond memories on the lake like I did. Not to mention, by eliminating these structures, there will be a HUGE financial implication. Many of the customers I met working at the marina, owned these. They would not be here on the lake without them. These people spend thousands of dollars a year and that all goes into the local economy. It would seriously be a shame to lose these. It would hurt local businesses, not to mention hurt anyone who's ever had the pleasure of using them.

These changes are unreasonable and do not respect the property rights of owners who invested in the are All!

I feel that houseboats that meet environmental standards and are not a hazard to navigation should be allowed to stay on all TVA reservoirs.
