Sep. 27, 2001	Lyttle, Wendy; President Catchacoma Cottagers’ Association Letter to LSC	Lake Catchacoma		A criticism of the Council of Galway-Cavendish and Harvey for recommending buffer zones in Cavendish and Harvey. The President of the CCA mistakenly assumed that the Council was specifically recommending a buffer zone at the northeast corner of Catchacoma. It had not! This letter is, essentially, an attempt to prevent certain property owners on Catchacoma from developing and / or enjoying their properties. It suggests, without any substantiation whatsoever, that persons who have recently acquired property on Catchacoma, did so with the intent to have it rezoned commercial (i.e. that they are speculators). It also makes extremely exaggerated, negative and inaccurate statements about a trail to the northeast of Catchacoma from County Road # 507. Many affected members of the CCA were not consulted by the President of the CCA before this letter was written. The President of the CCA should apologize to a number of persons and Council for having written this letter. It should be retracted.
