The Citizen, 1986-12-17, Page 13ack to drawing board for THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1986. PAGE 13. Sherwood development It is expected that developers of a recreational complex proposed for West Wawanosh Township will re-evaluate their plan before sub- mittingitto the public again for approval following adverse reac­ tion to the plan at a recent public meeting. Wayne Caldwell, senior planner for the Huron County Planning and Development Board, said that in light of the unfavourable reaction facing the plan from local land­ owners at the meeting Dec. 1, his department would recommend that no further action be taken on the matter until a revised course of action is submitted. On Friday, a spokesman for the township said that it had received a copy of a letter from Nick Hill Architect on the project, indicating that the size of the proposed developmentmaybereduced to 12-15 acres before being re­ submitted in January. “The only way the county will consider (this plan) further is if it is re-worked,” Mr. Caldwell said. The project in question, known as Sherwood Forest Lodge, was first proposed last summer by Alvin Sherwood of Dungannon. The 450-acre site east of Dungan­ non on Concession 4, bordering the Saratoga Swamp, was to include a lodge, cabins and a restaurant, surrounded by 150 acres of land intended for ‘ ‘ passive recreation. ’ ’ The rest of the area was to have been used for farming, according to Mr. Hill, who represented Mr. Sherwood at the meeting. Most of the objections to the proposal in its present form centred on the restrictions to agriculture which would be impos­ ed if a “Buffer” or restricted agricultural zone was imposed around the recreational site, a common practice in cases where farmland borders recreational land, according to Mr. Caldwell. Such a designation may restrict future agricultural development within half a mile of the recreation­ al site, and prohibit the expansion of an existing facility, he added. Bob Hallam of RR 3, Auburn, a farmer with property near the proposed site, expressed concern that the complex would be in a conflict with neighbouring farm­ land, de-valuing farms and creat­ ing an added cost to the township with increased costs for roads and garbage pick-up. ‘ ‘ Personally, I think it is going to be a country club. It’s going to de-value farmland, and who will Hullett seeks new councillor Hullett Township council will hold a special meeting on Decem­ ber 30 to fill the seat left vacant by the recent resignation of Vic Stackhouse. Mr. Stackhouse, whohassold his Londesboro property and will be moving to the Wingham area, says he resigned because he feels that Hullett ratepayers would be best served by a local representa­ tive. However, he feels that the one year he spent on council has been an education to him, and time well spent. “They’re a damn good bunchof guysto work with,” he said. A notice has been placed in local papers inviting applications for a replacement for Mr. Stackhouse. Anyonewiththe qualifications, and who is interested in serving the rest of the present term on council, is asked to notify township clerk Harry Lear in writing prior to 5 p.m . December 29 compensate the farmers?” he asked. John and Wilfred Tiesma, who operate a pig farm at RR 1, Auburn, near the proposed facility, ex­ pressed the fear that the odor generated by their intensive opera­ tion would bring complaints from people not involved with farming. “Liquid maure smells in the summer, and it’s not going to make the place attractive to city people, ’ ’ said Wilfred Tiesma. “It’s uncon- stitutional to restrict farming, it restricts our freedoms,” he added. Several landowners attending the meeting also objected to the “passive recreation” designation sought for the complex. Vito Stecca, a farmer and teacher who lives adjacent to the Sherwood property, said he felt the term was misleading, as any kind of recrea­ tional facility could be built once the land was re-zoned recreational. In presenting the proposal, Mr. Hill said that he and Mr. Sherwood opposed ’ ’ to the project, but added had done preliminary research on the project to gauge the approval of the public, and noted that the members of West Wawanosh council had been “fairly recep­ tive” to the plan when first informed of it last summer. He added that the recreational com­ plex is compatible with the town­ ship’s proposed secondary plan. Reeve Cecil Cranston had earlier indicated that council w- that more details would be needed before making an analysis. Newly-elected councillor Kath­ ryn Todd said that developing someform of recreational lands withinthe township should be a number one priority of council. * ‘ Since agriculture is in such a poor state, we should be open to something outside of farming, something like Benmiller,” she said.
