I am against this proposal because Munro Lake is already stressed by over population. Our family has owned a cottage on the lake since 1987. Since then I have noticed a steady decline in fish population, and water quality. We have had two algae blooms in the last two years due to high levels of phosphorous. This level of phosphorous is caused by too many permanent residents, extended seasonal and seasonal cottagers. An additional 12 lots on a year round access road will only make it worse. A similar proposal, put forth last year, was not supported by the MNR and MOE.
I am concerned about the nesting loons we have on our lake. An increase in boat traffic will only add additional stress on their nesting habits. This also applies to the trout in Munro Lake.
I find that the time limit to respond to the application is insufficient, as well as the limited access to the application documents. Having these documents only available for viewing at the Sudbury office of Municipal Affairs is not fair to anyone who has to travel more than four hours to see the information. It seems to me that this application is being pushed through without any input from local residents.
