cussed the Corrie car wash
Proposal and the objection to its
being ideated on the proposed site
• on Main street.
An objection which had been
filed by. Mrs. Beatrice Regier,
Was discussed in great detail,
and the consensus was that the
objection was legitimate.
'Gary Davidson of the Huron
County planning board advised
eouncil• and the planning board
that the proposal' as now pre-
. sented did not conform to the of-
ficial plan and suggested a resoe
tion to this effect was passed.
Mr. Davidson pointed out that
the original Corrie proposal had
intended, to make use of the
existing structure on the site.
HoWevei Wheal , it ,was ',decided
to construct .an entirely new.
building and Since the neW build-
ing would resullin a permanency,
thIS would be contrary to the
--official plah.
Both bodies agreed and a resolu-
A • severance was recom-
mended for approval as requested
by Carl Dalton for eight lots.
The severance was accepted as
presented, but the planning board
recommended that Mr. Dalton said he had nothing to report
and 'Mr. Pryce be contacted to
see if the lot line at -the back
of lots 122, 87 and 88 could
straightened Out.

ite has been decided.
Mr. Berry said that although

tion, Mr. Berry advised it would
