The area applied for is an access to the lake, between Lots 83 and 84. Local residents have a petition they are presenting to LARC requesting the access to the lake be kept open. It was pointed out that only landowners with lakefront property were approving of the closing of this access through the applied for lot enlargement, however, there are dozens of houses on the opposite side of the road that require this access as a foot path to the lake. It was stated that all lakefront accesses in Judas Creek are required for use by residents without lakefront property, visitors, emergency services to access lake water, and animal corridors. Motion # 3.
