Restored to Its Description

A Protected Lookout View and the Clearing Done in Its Name

A paper from the School of Settled Matters reads the 27 decisions construing a 1984 scenic-protection clause over a regional lookout, the 38 vegetation-management approvals issued below it and 112 dated photographs taken from it, and traces the clause's word "unobstructed" from a limit on structures, to fidelity to a 1984 brochure photograph, to a standing duty to clear. The view is now the most open in the photographic record, maintained to a frame taken from a rock shelf outside the reserve's fence.
