it the development.'
deration brief opposing the
ment was presentedby,
on Federation of Agricul
esident,. Doug Fortune of
Wingham. He said he was present•
ing the brief at the request of a
township resident who refused `to
be identified.
Representatives of the federation
said they oppose the development
plan "on the principle that it
would remove valuable land from
agricultural usF."
The brief state the plan would
convert 40 acres of choice food -
producing land to a playground for
non-residents. "Recreational'
development" , it urged, "should
not be on food -producing land but
should be diverted to non -arable
areas even if this involves some
inconvenience and added travel-
ling costs."
Under the plan, Maypark Dev-
elopments would establish about'
60 lots on .a 35 acre parcel desig-
nated o for 'seasonal residences.
Ian MacNaughton of MacNaugh-
ton Planning Consultants Ltd. of
Waterloo which designed the pro-
posed development , said Lake
Huron is a national resource which,
should be shared in a well-planned
manner. He added that 42 per
cent of the development would be
".open space" and would include
free public access to the beach
area.
"Those green spots you plan to
leave are not for agriculture ,"
replied Adrian Vos of Blyth, vice
president of the Huron Federation.
Planners, said Mr. Vos, too
often look at environmental and
resource problems but never at
agriculture.
Huron County planning director
Gary Davidson promised the .county
planning board would consider the
federation's .brief when the plan
is discussed.
Should the development be
approved by the planning board,
an amendment tothe official
plan will still need approval from
Huron County Council before the
project can proceed.
This is the second such develop-
ment by Maypark. The first one
was on land purchased . from Sam
