We want to thank all who participated in the petition and showed your support at the Oct 25 council meeting regarding the re-zoning of CPAC. Many of you spoke your words to council and the petition was presented with 225 signatures when printed.
The result of the open hearing on Oct 25th, council made the decision to reject the application to re-zone CPAC as per proposal. Without your support and voice on the matter this may not have been possible.
We need to continue to stick together to ensure the protection of Gull Lake from preventable UN-natural impacts which could directly affect our natural environment.
If you are not currently on the "Gull Lake Awareness" Face Book page I welcome you to join and get updated on current information regarding Gull Lake and participate in the friendly conversations. We are still working on issues regarding the protection of Gull Lake and your support moving forward is always appreciated!!
Thank you once again, this was a victory for us all to see Gull lake remain protected!!
Yours Truly,
-Kyle Nixdorf & Darren Babiuk on behalf of the sub-committee
A subcommittee was formed lead by Darren Babiuk to protect Gull Lake from further cottage development.
-Gull Lake MB currently houses over 300+ cottages a combination of both permanent and seasonal residence.
-Any further development of this small area can negatively affect our water quality and water source in which naturally creates Gull Lake as we know it.
- An application from Canadian Polish Athletic Club (CPAC) for re-zoning seeks to rezone two properties located in the Gull Lake area and adjacent to Highway No. 12, to a “SR” Seasonal Residential zone, which would facilitate future development. The purpose of the “SR” Seasonal Residential zone is to provide land use guidelines for those areas having existing large lot seasonal residential development, and the zone includes a range of permitted and conditional uses (e.g. single-family residential, restaurant, recreation facilities, etc.). In addition, “SR” Seasonal Residential zone would allow for newly subdivided lots (Note: requires separate subdivision application and approval) with minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet and minimum lot width of 100 feet.
Cottage development at Gull Lake and in the Gull Lake Basin Area has already resulted in overpopulation. We, the undersigned, are opposed to any further rezoning which would potentially permit development in the Gull Lake area including the current proposal from CPAC. We are concerned further development will negatively affect our water quality and water source, as well as cause irreparable ecological and environmental impacts.
