Land Transfer to Expand Cottage Property - Cummins Lake, Jacques Township
Official title: Kristina Cameron - New - Approval for a consent (subject to conditions) in an area where there is no official plan in place
A property owner near Thunder Bay wants to transfer a small piece of vacant land (about 300 square metres) to their neighbouring cottage lot. This would give the receiving property direct road access. The land is on Cummins Lake in the unorganized Township of Jacques.
Why This Matters
This is a routine land consent application that mainly affects the immediate neighbours. If you own property on Cummins Lake or use Cummins Lake Road North, you may want to know about changes to lot boundaries in your area.
What Could Change
If approved, the receiving lot would grow from 0.227 hectares to about 0.26 hectares and gain direct road access. The retained lot would shrink slightly but keep its cottage, road frontage, and lake access.
Key Issues
- Should this land transfer be approved to give the receiving property direct road access?
- Are there any concerns about the proposed lot configuration in this unorganized township?
How to Participate
- Review the Application and Sketch to understand the proposed land transfer.
- Submit your comments through the Environmental Registry of Ontario by the deadline.
