KELLER Huron County's plan came one step closer Thursday to becoming official when members of Huron County Council approved the plan as ammended, following public meetings throughout Huron. 4 Gary Davidson, the county planning director, said the plan would now be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs for final approval. "The ammendments to the original plan," noted Davidson, "were in the areas of seasonal residential regulations and the land use designations, particularly with regard to lot sizes for private and sub-division expansion." Some other minor adjustments were suggested and approved by members of council Thursday. The size of the lots, as required in the plan, came under lengthy discussion during the session, with some councillors expressing sincere doubts about the regulations. Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, was one of the first councillors to express concern that if large lots of one acre or one and half acres are necessary, it might induce people to go out and purchase an entire farm, build a house on one corner of it and allow the rest to grow up in weeds. Reeve Bill Elston, Morris, concurred. He said the consideration of the size of the lots is a valid concern and complained it could be too costly for one-home builders in 'small rural villages, for instance, to afford to meet the new regulations. Reeve Charles Thomas, chairman of the Huron Planning Board, said the matter had received the committee's full attention. "In some areas, an acre is not enough," said Thomas. "In some areas it is too much. But we have to be able to separate the septic tank system from the well in areas where there is no sewage system." County planner Davidson said it must be recognized that a septic tank system in some areas of Huron County will have to continue to work steadily for perhaps 20 or 30 years. He said the size of the lot should be adequate to permit the weeping bed to be dug up and moved to another area to give the land an opportunity to recover. It was also pointed out that-if the land developer could prove by a percolation test that the size of the lot could be smaller.and still permit adequate septic drainage, it would be permitted. A percolation test, according to Davidson, involved digging a hole about 18-inches square by two feet deep and saturating it with water for about 24 hours. Then the hole was filled with water and observed to determine how quickly the water got away. Davidson said a qualified person was required to take the percolation test, but added that if the land owner took trial tests on his property before calling in the engineer, he would have a better idea whether or not the percolation test would be approved and the land judged suitable for smaller lot purposes. Reeve Thompson concurred with Davidson and said the percolation testing shouldn't be very costly if the co-operation of the Department of Health could be enlisted. Reeve John Flannery of Seaforth said he wasn't satisfied that county councillors knew what these new regulations would mean to young couples deciding to build homes. He said young people are "craving" for an indication of future costs and this legislation was not helping toward that end. Davidson reminded council that the official plan would be administered locally, not provincially as is the case in some instances governing building now. "We can be a little more passionate in our decisions," said Davidson. The report of the Land Division Committee, chaired by Cal Krauter, Brussels, brought on another heated discussion among county council members. The committee's report showed that a fee of $40 would be levied against the seller where parcels of land were to be severed. The charge would 'be made, the report showed, whether the severance was granted or not. It was learned that when a parcel of land is to be split up, all property owners within 200 feet of the severance had to be notified to ascertain their reactions. "The procedure with obtaining consents is somewhat detailed and requires at least a minimum of 30 days in order that the application can be processed in the proper manner," Krauter reported. "The local municipality, the Health Unit, the Regional Health Engineer, the Department of Highways and the County Engineer, if necessary, have to be contacted. An on-site inspection is made by the Planning Director and he, in turn, makes a report to the Land Division Committee. Once the application has been approved, the various forms are forwarded to the appropriate people including the Department of Municipal Affairs, the local municipality and the land owner and interested parties. There is then a two-week period for an appeal. When this period has lapsed, then the deeds are requested and a certificate attached thereto by the secretary." "The biggest holdup," added Krauter, "is the local councils when they don't send in their reports." The committee sits twice monthly and there are already 50 applications ready for study. Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb said the $40 cost should be borne by the county and should not be paid by the person selling the land. He said these costs should be spread over the entire county because the legislation is beneficial to the entire county. Krauter disagreed and said it was really a matter of opinion. Bayfield Reeve Ed. Offliefson said that even at $40 per application, the county would be "going in the red". Reeve Elston said the only solution was to try the system for a while keeping a strict cost count and then assess the situation, perhaps by acknowledging a need for change. Councillors were also reminded that when land is severed within a municipality, the council has the option to collect five percent of the land or cash in lieu of land. This land or cash, if collected by the municipality, must be used for recreational purposes. "A municipality doesn't have to collect this five percent," said Davidson, "but it has that right."
