Lakewood is situated around West Little Lake. In order to maintain
the purity of this beautiful lake and protect fish stocks, controls
have been put in place.
All surface water features, including the lake, streams
and wetlands are protected by buffers of natural vegetation. Existing
buffers have been retained around the development to provide separation
from adjacent land use.
Tree and habitat protection plans are in place for all greenspace
areas as well as for the private lots. Owners will be able to build
within a ½ acre building envelope and the balance of the lot
will be preserved in its natural state, excepting private walking
paths.
Protection plans for all vegetation and wildlife have been set
up to maintain the overall forested appearance of the site and ensure
co-existence with the wildlife.
Existing wildlife will be retained and, through management techniques,
possibly enhanced!
Through detailed planning in collaboration with the community's
own environmental plans and various government agencies, over 230
acres of the site have been designated as Nature Preservation, Tree
and Habitat Protection or Recreational Zones.
Lakewood… Committed to Environmental Preservation
