in the township plan already to allow
it. If it was to have more than one
cabin it would require a zoning
change. The difficulty with
recreational developments in farming
areas is that a restrictive buffer zone
around them can affect other farmers.
Ken Petersen, MMA, said his
ministry would require proof that
there was a demand for this kind of
development and look at the impact
on other farms and residences in the
area. It would look at the sewage
treatment system, preferring a
communal system rather than
individual septic tanks.
MNR, said Alan Aitken of the
Wingham office, would be worried
about the impact of the development
on the river and fish habitat. MNR
requires there be no harmful
alteration of fish habitat, no
disruption of habitat and encourages
a net gain in fish habitat. No
development is allowed in Areas of
Natural and Scientific Interest and
there are restrictions on development
near these areas and near significant
wetland. Since none of these are
located on the Thompson property,
however, it would not be effected.
But the imaginary project came to
a grinding halt with Carol Neumann,
land use specialist with OMAFRA's
Walkerton office. Under Bill 163
developments of a non-farm nature in
prime farm land (classes 1-3) are
forbidden and a recreational
development doesn't fall into an
agricultural application. "The goal is
to protect prime agricultural areas for
long term agricultural use," she said.
Only primary and secondary
agricultural uses will be allowed on
prime farmland under the
comprehensive policy statements
included with the new bill.
Secondary occupations included
home occupations, value-added
agricultural products, and farm -
oriented business like equipment
repair, wood -working or crafts. Agri -
tourism projects like bed and
breakfasts are allowed if they are
within the current cluster of farm
buildings. Further processing like
cottage wineries are allowed. Not
allowed are uses like golf -courses
and trailer parks. Such activities
