Towne, Jason <br /> From: Timothy Porter <tim.porter@redfin.com> <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2021 10:50 AM <br /> To: Towne, Jason; Conroy, Craig;Taylor, Donald <br /> Cc: shortceo2012@gmail.com <br /> Subject: Correspondence To Burnett County Regarding Voyager Village Boat Slip Expansion On <br /> Loon/Cadotte Lakes. <br /> Good Morning Jason, Craig & Don, <br /> My name is Tim Porter and I am writing you this letter to make you aware of <br /> my family's concern in regards to the Voyager Village boat slip expansion proposal on Loon & Cadotte Lakes. <br /> My parents Bev & Bill Baker built on Loon Lake back in 1987 and we have enjoyed every minute of our time at <br /> the lake. We have noticed and are becoming very concerned about the heavier boat traffic, shoreline <br /> erosion and <br /> impact these things are having to the lakes, environment and wildlife. <br /> Last weekend I was on the lake, and it was heartbreaking to see the families of Loons dodging the heavier boat <br /> traffic,jet skies and what has been an increase in water skiers and such. <br /> As you are probably aware, these lakes are not big and are very shallow, adding to the deterioration. With the <br /> proposed addition of 32 slips, almost doubling what they currently have, will definitely impact the environment, <br /> quality of the lakes and the quality of lake living that families who own property on the lake have cherished for <br /> generations. <br /> Sounds like after Voyager Villages last expansion of boats slips on the lakes, our association was told that this <br /> would be the last. Obviously, that does not seem to be the case and there is nothing in place to prevent them <br /> from adding more in the future. <br /> I am sure you all cherish the environment of Burnett County and all the great things that have attracted families <br /> to this area over the years. Hopefully you will <br /> see that this expansion really is not necessary and by not letting it move forward, will help preserve the few <br /> special places we have left. <br /> Thanks for your consideration and if you have any questions or would like to talk <br /> more about this situation, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Thank You, <br /> Tim Porter <br /> ph# 651-285-0957 <br /> E-Mail - t.s.porter@comcast,net <br /> 1 <br />
