A controversial $, amend-.
ment to the
of
County
Federation of Agriculture's
land use policy statement
regarding mobile homes was
turned down by federation
members at their monthly
meeting.
The amendment to the
land use policy presented by
Merle, Gunby.. a member of
the land use committee,
read, "Mobile homes should
be permitted only as a
secondary or temporary res-
idence where the occupant is
actively engaged in operat-
ing a farm."
The original policy. which
still stands. said, "Mobile
homes should he permitted
only as part of a mobile home
park or as a secondary or
primary residence where the
oecu'pant is actively engaged
in operating the farm."
In presenting the motion,
Mr. Gunby said the com-
mittee didn't want their
proposal to seem like "we
were recommending mobile
home parks.".
Mason Bailey, a member
of the audience,' said, "All
your kids aren't 'going td"'"
farm and all of them won't
want to live in a $50,000
house." He added, mime
may want to live in a trailer.
John Van Beers, who
seconded the original motion
calling for an amendment,
said "We as farmers want to
keep people at least 1,000
feet. away from our build-
ings."
Mr. Gu nby added that the
land use committee felt
mobile parks would be detri-
mental to agriculture in the
area in the long run.
He said, "Mobile homes
don't pay tax dollars to the
community proportional to
educational costs and ser-
vices."
On a vote or the members.
the motion to amend the
original policy regarding
mobile homes was lost.
A second 'amendment to
theland use poliey regarding
cottage development in
Huron County was passed by
the members.
The amendment read,
"Further cottage or so-called
"seasonal residential devel-
opment" in Huron County
should not be permitted."
The previous statement in
the federation's land use
policy was that cottage devel-
opment should he permitted
only along the lakeshore and
only under strictly controlled
and limited conditions.
Gordon Hill, a federation
member, asked if the prop-
osed change would mean the
federation opposes cottage
and seasonal residences
along river properties in the
county.
Mr. Gunby said the
amendment also covered this
area. He said committee
members were concerned
about developments being
built where the houses were
termed seasonal residences
but in the long run would he
used as permanent homes.
He said a town is being
created 1,000 feet wide and
50 to 100 miles along the
Lake Huron lakefront.
Mason Bailey said he feh
the proposed amendment
could backfire. If land wasn 't
available for retreat in n a 1
purposes along the lakefront
then people would buy farms
for recreational use.
Mr. Gunby said if this
happened. "We'll have one
person on a 100 acres rather
than 100-200 people on a 100
acres."
Members approved the
amendment calling for a halt
to further cottage and sea.

ment in the county.
Also during the meeting,
Keith Roulston, publisher of
the Rural Voice, a farm
magazine which goes to
federation members in three
counties, wrote to the mem-
bers to inform them that his
company; Squire Publishing
House, sold the maga/ine to
