Given that their zoning (official plan amendment) OPA 21 already allows tourist related activities on 22 acres of their 80 acre farm, and that the Prince Edward County Planning Department already acknowledges that tourist related activities includes accommodations, we believe Lynne Ellis and Mark Henry should be able to have their application for accommodations approved without further delay, subject only to meeting the requirements for proper septic disposal and by demonstrating that they will have no impact on the water supplies of the properties that border on them.
The feedback from our neighbors confirms that the current zoning already supports the proposed accommodations on the farm. We are currently preparing documentation to address the specific requirements regarding septic disposal and water resource protection. Thank you for your continued engagement as we move this application forward.

The level of support pouring in for this application confirms that many people recognize the validity of the expansion plans for Fields on West Lake. Your engagement demonstrates a clear consensus that the necessary approvals should move forward without further obstruction.

We need more places like this in the county. Proper septic is obviously a must but dont keep moving the goalposts.

The planning dept already said it counts. Stop wasting everyone's time and just get the permits done.
