I fully support proposal ERO 019-8289 and amendments to the Rondeau Park plan for continuation of the vibrant, sustainable and financially supportive community of the cottages within the park.

The cottages occupy a very small percentage of the total park land - and have been a caring community providing stewardship to the lands in collaboration with park management over the years. In fact the original charter fully embraces and lists cottages within the park land as one of the core justifications for creating the park itself.

Decisions regarding cottage properties and proposals supportive of long term cottage occupancies have been outstanding since 2019 and again promised in early 2020. Cottages and visitors expect and deserve to have decisions made that provides clarity and process in support of continued and long term cottage leases within Rondeau as part of original concept and as sustainable and responsible stewardship in the future.

Cottage leases must be negotiated with due consideration of tenure and historical legacy integral with the park history and future and must be of reasonable terms, operational conditions and costs. Families deserve the right to continue enjoyment of this park as originally intended and be economically feasible to do so. It must be considered the significant value, awareness and monies cottage lease holders, guests and friends bring to Rondeau and the greater Chatham Kent area overall.
