Oct.18 at 9:30 A.M. HOSTESS Mrs. Agnes Ten Study will be on Mark, Babysitting at Mrs. Bev Cardiff's Everyone most welcome 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. sonal residentail develop- 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 McLean Brothers Publishers of Sea fort h October 1.
