Land Transfer for Cottage Property Access - 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 0.03 hectares) from one lot to another. The goal? Give a neighbouring cottage property direct road access. The receiving lot already has a cottage, shed, and outhouse on it.
Why This Matters
Live near Cummins Lake or own property in Jacques Township? This consent could set a precedent for similar land transfers in the area. Neighbours may want to weigh in on changes to lot boundaries in their community.
What Could Change
If approved, the receiving property gains 0.03 hectares and direct road access. The retained lot keeps 1.14 hectares with lake frontage. This is a routine land severance—no major policy changes are at stake.
