The County of Frontenac respectfully submits the following response to Changes to the Reinstating Site Plan Control (ERO Posting 019-6822):

Frontenac County is blessed with hundreds of lakes and rivers covering its geography, including pristine lakes on the Canadian Shield, Lake Ontario and the Saint Lawrence River waterbodies surrounding Wolfe and Howe Islands, as well as the southern section of the Rideau Canal National Historic Site and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Additional residential units on waterfront lots have the potential to impact the quality of water and the natural aesthetic that is associated with the shorelines and waterbodies located within the County. The County is in support of reinstating site plan control provisions to waterfront areas.

I trust you will find this in order; however should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 613-548-9400, ext. 302 or via email at jamini@frontenaccounty.ca.
Yours Truly,
