Could boat docks soon be allowed on the Bowie Reservoir side of Lake Amon Carter?

A property owner in the Silver Lakes addition, who lives on the newer side of the lake asked the Bowie City Council Tuesday to consider lifting the restrictions put in when the lake was created more than 20 years ago.

Jim Weathers told the council he simply wants to be able to pull his boat up at his own dock and to sit on his dock and fish when he comes home at night.
