I am very concerned abouUhis re zoning. My main concern is for the protection of the "Channel" that lies within and adjacent to their property.

For instance, a family of otter and musk rat live adjacent to the "Channel", Great Blue Heron catch fish here. Snapping turtles, painted turtles and other amphibians also make there home in the "Channel", as do many water fowl species. I have enclosed photos showing the "Channel". The top photo shows where the "Channel" meets Lake Peltier. The middle photo is close to where the "Charmel' starts to turn south- ward. The bottom photo shows a view from the south end looking towards the north. I, also, believe that development near the "Channel" would diminish the water quality of Lake Peltier. This lake has a very poor water quality at present, additional development would only further diminish the water quality of the Lake. In conclusion, I do not want to see the C-l (conservation) zoning designation changed or modified. This C-l zoning would act as a buffer and would help protect the fish and wildlife of the "Channel"; and the water quality of Lake Peltier. Sincerely, Oelkl \ ~" . DeanLuxeJE~~~ ~
