In an October 13, 2021, committee of adjustment meeting, the applicants were ordered to remove the retaining wall and revegetate the shoreline in order to be granted planning approvals for a floating dock. (See related stories below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dismayed, the Wilsons took their application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). Following attempts to settle the matter unsuccessfully, a two-day hearing was held in July 2024. This month, on March 3, 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/03\/OLT-21-001611-MAR-03-2025-1.pdf\">the Tribunal released its ruling<\/a>, essentially stating that a lower retaining wall (a height of no more than 2.1 metres from an overall height of 3.1 m) can stay, provided that revegetation occurs in order to make it less visible. The Tribunal also granted the Wilsons their floating dock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wilson while feeling vindicated were also disappointed. &#8220;We&#8217;re disappointed that after all the time we&#8217;ve been in Huntsville and the things that we&#8217;ve contributed to the town in the way of employment and so on with our business, it&#8217;s just disappointing that we were treated that way,&#8221; said Doug Wilson.  revegetated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Bob Stone, who was chair of the committee of adjustment at the time, acknowledged that the Wilsons have been upstanding citizens in the community but said exceptions cannot be made when it comes to getting approvals for retention walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m extremely disappointed with the decision, The OLT panel from southern Ontario clearly have no understanding of the fragile environment we are trying to protect in Huntsville or the importance of natural beauty upon our very identity and economy,&#8221; said Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Town of Huntsville also issued a statement regarding the finding of the Tribunal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The OLT\u2019s decision in this matter was disappointing and failed to consider key policies and standards respecting shoreline buffer protection and appropriate flood and erosion hazard mitigation.\u00a0 The Town of Huntsville has a responsibility to protect our delicate environment, \u00a0and to make decisions that preserve the integrity of our waterfront areas,&#8221; stated Kirstin Maxwell, Huntsville \u00a0Director of Development Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This type of development has the potential to negatively impact the health of our waterways, something our community has worked hard to preserve.\u00a0 We encourage everyone to contact the planning department prior to any alteration, vegetation removal, or development along a shoreline. Our staff can help guide property owners through any required permits and ensure that their proposal maintains the integrity of our water quality,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Related<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/council-moves-to-defend-king-crescent-retaining-wall-decision-at-tribunal\/\">Council moves to defend King Crescent retaining wall decision at tribunal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/applicants-told-to-remove-egregious-retaining-wall\/\">Applicants told to remove \u201cegregious\u201d retaining wall<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ontario Land Tribunal has ruled that a retaining wall erected in 2021 along the Muskoka River on a King Crescent property in Huntsville can stay.
