Unfortunately, we have to make our decisions based on planning rationale,\u201d said Councillor Karin Terziano who sits on the committee.<\/p>\n<p>The  proponents, former mayor Claude Doughty and Gareth Cockwell, were given a green light to proceed with their proposal, following a series of modifications as a result of input from the Lake Vernon Association as well as recommendations from an environmental impact study conducted by Riverstone Environmental Solutions Inc., on behalf of the proponents.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6956\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/vernonrmap.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6956\" class=\"wp-image-6956 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/vernonrmap-1024x683.gif\" alt=\"Map shown to committee including conservation areas in read.\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/vernonrmap-300x200.gif 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/vernonrmap-1024x683.gif 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The committee looks at a map of the Vernon Lake development.

The approval is also contingent on there being no breaks in the tree line around peaks and ridgelines and that monitoring be conducted by the municipality to ensure the restrictions, registered on title, are adhered to into the future.<\/p>\n<p>Terziano conceded that while the parties would not be walking away content with all the decisions made on the proposal, she hoped their input has made it a better one.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6955\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Tracy.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6955\" class=\"wp-image-6955 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Tracy-300x200.gif\" alt=\"President of the Lake Vernon Association Tracey Rast asks committee to make additional recommendations.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Tracy-300x200.gif 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/11\/Tracy-1024x683.gif 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President of the Lake Vernon Association Tracey Rast asks committee to make additional recommendations prior to approval.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I think that the most important thing on this is that all sides have worked together and I think we probably have a better development than we could\u2019ve had because of it,\u201d said Terziano.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that the developer keeps all his promises. I hope that the Town is able to enforce everything that they say they can enforce and I hope that when you paddle down Lake Vernon, you still see a good deal of forest\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The development was approved under a consent application, which means approvals for developments such as new lot creation, changing a boundary line or creating a right-of-way or easement can be approved at the committee level without requiring the final stamp of approval from council. However, because the property has to be rezoned under a new designation for all waterfront lots, the development is still contingent on council giving its final approval to the rezoning, explained Huntsville Manager of Development Process Kristin Maxwell.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether there is a limit to the number of lots that can be created under a consent application, Maxwell said Huntsville has none. She did say that if it involves the creation of, for example, municipally maintained roads, the application is then considered a subdivision or condominium development and would be forwarded to the District Municipality of Muskoka for comment\/approval.<\/p>\n<p>The 12 lots being proposed on Lake Vernon would be serviced by a private road.<\/p>\n<p>Committee Chair Nancy Alcock noted that the development has been a learning experience for everyone involved and some items learned along the way will be incorporated into the Town&#8217;s Official Plan review.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/DocumentUploads\/Agendas\/doc_635824237394300749.pdf\">The proposal can be viewed here, starting on page 10.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Private development rights versus the wishes of community members to leave certain areas undisturbed went head-to-head at Huntsville\u2019s Planning Committee on November 12.
