Comment
Concerns noted by the Council of the Township of North Huron include:
The opening up of scattered residential lot creation in the prime agricultural areas may:
• increase conflict with modern farming practices,
• increase MDS restrictions on the placement of new barns;
• reduce the number of units being built in settlement areas where municipalities have invested substantial funds on services (hard and soft),
• lost opportunities for infrastructure efficiency in settlement areas;
• increase the demand on municipalities to provide enhanced rural services (e.g. more frequent snow plowing, road maintenance, garbage collection, emergency services, etc.); and
• ring serviced settlement areas with unserviced residential development making it more difficult and costly for future settlement area expansions and extension of services.
Consultation and clarification for municipalities is requested.
