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.

The PROTECT GULL LAKE BASIN AREA FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT petition to The Rural Municipality of St Clements and the Red River Planning District was written by Kyle Nixdorf and is in the category Environment at GoPetition.
