Benmiller-area trailer park gets
the go-ahead from County Council
_Cheryl_Heath

It's been a long time coming.
County councillors had the chance to review a
long-awaited agreement for an expansive trailer
park, known as Maitland Falls Resort near Ben -
miller, during their Nov. 10 coat mittee-of-the-
whole session.
The deal, which calls for Official Plan amend-
ments in both Central Huron and the County of
Huron, came to pass on the second day of an On-
tario Municipal Board hearing in August.
County lawyer Greg Stewart, of the Donnelly
and Murphy law firm, says negotiations reopened
because both property owner Donald Crich and
stakeholders were eager to find a compromise
rather than continue with a costly and potentially
lengthy OMB hearing.
In all, reports Stewart, there have been a number
of compromises found for the 42 -hectare property
that includes river flats that are home to a Queen
Snake habitat.
At the centre of the debate was the contention
the area is prime agricultural land when in fact,
notes Stewart, recreational use was allowed under
the Official Plan.
Further, notes Stewart, the land in question was
primarily used for a gravel pit and when it was
licensed in the 1960s or 1970s, the documentation
showed the pit's rehabilitation called for the cre-
ation of a trailer park.
"The proposed use for the development was not
out of character for use in the area," says Stewart,
adding the proposed use will not have a negative
impact on surrounding agricultural land.
In the end, an agreement from interested parties
means Central Huron will allow for an Official
Plan amendment that redesignates the trailer -park
area as seasonal recreational while the perimeter
of the property will be zoned as natural environ-
ment.
Stewart notes the trailer -park area will sit in the
centre of the property and will include only 383
trailers rather than originally planned 407 sites.
However, work will not move forward until a
number of attached conditions, including the re-
quired completion of a number of studies for the
Ministry of Environment among several other
bodies, are completed to each stakeholder's satis-
faction.
