Towne, Jason <br /> From: mark@nagelhome.com <br /> Sent: Wednesday, October 6, 2021 1:41 PM <br /> To: Towne, Jason <br /> Subject: Cadotte Lake Water Quality Concerns and Voyager Village Slip Request <br /> Mr.Towne, <br /> I am writing you to express my concerns with Voyager Village's proposal to increase boat slips on Cadotte Lake and the <br /> negative impact it will have on both Cadotte and Loon Lake,connected lakes. The water quality(clarity and <br /> phosphorous levels) has been getting worse year over year. Increasing boat traffic on the lakes will only further degrade <br /> our water quality. <br /> Voyager Village touts Little Bear Lake as a successful balance between recreational use and superior lake quality and <br /> health. Little Bear Lake is 1 mile north of Cadotte Lake and is 118 acres, 55' deep and is surrounded entirely by Voyager <br /> Village property. Little Bear has approximately 38 slips and Voyager Village has NOT proposed to increase this number. <br /> Cadotte Lake is similar in size at 121 acres, but is only 21' deep. Cadotte Lake currently has 38 slips, same as Little Bear, <br /> and Voyager Village is proposing to add 32 more slips for a total of 70 slips. Cadotte Lake's water quality has been on a <br /> downward trend with phosphorous levels increasing over the past 10 years five-year average phosphorous levels from <br /> 2011-2015 were 17.1 and the levels increased to 19.7 for the period of 2016-2020. According to the Wisconsin DNR boat <br /> traffic increases levels and phosphorous levels and negatively impact to lake water health. <br /> Increasing boat traffic on Cadotte Lake, which is connected to Loon Lake, will only accelerate the negative impact to the <br /> health and water quality of both Cadotte and Loon Lake. Voyager Village's proposal to almost double the slips on Cadotte <br /> Lake and not increase Little Bear's slips appears to be a move to preserve the quality of the Voyager Villager Owner's <br /> "exclusive" Little Bear Lake, while sacrificing Cadotte and Loon Lake's water quality to address their owners request for <br /> more slips. <br /> I ask you to please consider not allowing Voyager Village to increase the number of slips on Cadotte lake. Or if absolutely <br /> needed limit it and restrict it to no more than what they have on Little Bear Lake, spread the increase over the two lakes <br /> rather than overly burdening Cadotte. <br /> Mark Nagel <br /> Loon Lake Property Owner <br /> 651-276-4112 <br /> 1 <br />
