I am responding to August issue of the Mayor’s Newsletter. My wife and I came to Indian Lake in December of 2007 when we purchased a townhome at 204 Kickapoo Ct. from St. Clair Resort Development. We knew a little bit about the actions of the Lyons, Rohrich, Takacs groupat the time but were undeterred because it “wasn’t our fight” and felt things would sort themselves out in time. Since buying our home I have dealt with Terry St. Clair on a regular basis and have developed a trust and admiration in his commitment to Indian Lake and his desire to provide a first-class resort home product. We use our home to enjoy the lake activities with our teenage daughter and son along with the many guests we have entertained during all seasons of the year. Having the commercial docks available has been not just a convenience but a luxury. I personally couldn’t be more pleased with my investment. Many of our guests have expressed different levels of interest in investing in Indian Lake Resort property but are understandably hesitant not only due to current economic instability but due to the constant litigation against St. Clair Resort Development. What I thought “wasn’t our fight” is now better defined as “the Borough’s fight” to make sure Indian Lake propertyvalue is stable and that development is healthy. If there are true legal issues motivating the efforts of the Lyons, Rohrich, Takacs group then so be it. Let the legal process take its course. If they are motivated by personal issues and self-satisfaction I hope that there are consequences and that the Borough will pursue them. In either case, I hope this issue is resolved soon so that a stable foundation can be formed for the future prosperity of Indian Lake and the mutual benefit of its citizens.
Respectfully,

It has become apparent to myself as well as my friends at Indian Lake that there is a feud of sorts that is effecting us all. I do not pretend to know all the details of what is happening. I do know that some times egos get in the way of good common sense. I have an A-frame on the driving range and when I bought it I knew I might find a golf ball or two in my yard ( window ) When you own a home on a developed lake you need to expect development!! I'm sorry if you happened to buy a home near possible change but you should have thought of that all along. As Americans we enjoy the right to own land and earn an income. Why does the guy who builds a house next to a farmers field for the beautiful view expect that the farmer will never sell it to a developer? That is just wishful thinking and poor common-sense. Stop wasting our tax dollars, put away your egos and start doing what is best for Indian lake.

Borough Council:
I agree all these law suits and appeals are frivolous and ridiculous! I welcome further PLANNED development of our resort community. Without development and progress, our resort community will surely fall into a state of failure somewhat like several of the surrounding Boroughs in Somerset County. Without vision, planning, development and progress we will seal our fate as a failed Borough.
I commend Terry St Clair on his efforts in improve the Borough – his developments have all been “first class” and are to be viewed as an asset to our community. The Lodge facility is also a great asset to our community – can you image the Borough of Indian Lake without the Lodge? I hope we NEVER see that day!
I sincerely hope that the Council will approve the development at the Indian Lake Golf Course (interior front nine) – it surely will be a great asset for us as well. We cannot turn our back on the increased revenues this development will mean to the Borough! Jim Dewar and his partners have spent countless dollars and time on this development – let’s get it done!
I also commend those members of Borough Council on their tireless efforts to improve our resort community. I am certainly proud to be part of it! I am somewhat embarrassed when outsiders ask me about all the litigation and the “feuding” between our residents. I wish it would stop!
Thanks for a great job!
