A year and a half long property dispute in Prince Edward County is coming to a close.
Prince Edward County planning committee has approved an agreement between the Friends of the South Shore and Quinte’s Isle Campark to resolve a dispute over planned expansions to the park.
The motion was approved without comment.
The motion is the latest step in resolving a dispute between the Friends of the South Shore and Prince Edward County, after the Friends of the South Shore appealed a previous approval of Quinte’s Isle Campark expansion to the Ontario Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
Their objections focused on the environmental impact, as the expansion would take place near two provincially significant wetlands. Other issues raised included increased traffic and noise.
The agreed upon solution includes zoning changes that mandate setbacks from the protected wetlands along with special requirements for signage, implementation of natural flood proofing, more tree planting, and the establishment of wildlife corridors.
The revised zoning will be submitted to the Ontario Local Planning Appeal Tribunal for final approval.
