Although he said decisions about housing on farm land are up to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), Letnick, in response to whether permanent structures could be allowed, says, “It depends. The preference according to the bylaw is for them to be temporary structures, some kind of manufactured home that can removed at some point in the future if the need no longer existed.”
Councilors denied the request from the farmer pending a response from the ALC about what it would or would not do. Letnick says he is always open to suggestions that will benefit agriculture. ##
