Trailer park residents may get new home Willow Pork residents may have found themselves a new home About acres of land Just cast of the northeast comer of the Sixth Line and Side road may be where the 30 families now living In the Nor vol trailer park will call home Willow Park Community Chairman Roger Perry man said Monday that the land owned by Honk and Bill Lenstra Is a prime location The Lcnstras responded to an advertisement placed in local newspapers earlier this year asking for prospective developers of a trailer park said Mr The Lenstras would be landlords simitar to the arrangements Willow Park residents now have with owner Norm Guthrie said Mr The location is excellent for what could be a much expanded park because Silver Creek runs through the property and there art plenty of trees to shelter the trailers said Mr Currently Willow Park residents live on six acres of land on the north side of Highway right next to the Credit River Willow Park is being expropriated by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority because the land would be exposed to dangerous flood levels when the Halton Hilts Village Is complete A heavy storm would Increase the surface runoft into Sliver Creek which then flows into the Credit River exposing the low lying lands on which Willow Park sits to severe flooding Last year Willow Park residents enlisted town council help In their search for a new location but residents found this site themselves said Mr However the CVCA wants residents out of Willow Park when their lease wllh Mr Guthrie runs out in September Mr said There absolutely no way that we re going to be able to do that be said Residents hope to move onto the new land by the spring of 1989 If the move is feasible at all he said We re saying we don mind that we re being expropriated but you have to give us a fair shake said Mr The CVCA is willing to comply cording to General Manager Barron As long as it looks like there is a definite date for the resident to move out the will likely grant an extension until the spring said Ms Barron However If the deal falls through and residents have not found another location by the lime the lease is up then they will have to be up and gone said Ms Barron We want to see some reason to believe that they will be leaving Otherwise we may hove to force them out she said Town Planning Director Ion Keith said the application for developing a trailer park will be handled the Niagara Escarpment Commission One concern Is that the CN rail track to Acton runs right behind the land said Mr Keith Other concerns about the land which will have to be addressed at the NEC is availability of water the feasibility of septic tanks drainage and traffic flows said Mr Keith Board chairman looks ahead to year of
