Weather 1970 1069 NI L6 • ill La Between 40 and 59 interested persons attended an explanation meeting in the copncil chambers on 'Monday night to explain Previsions of 'Clinton's new zoning by-law, new before town council. The meeting, chaired by Beecher Menzies of the Planning Board, heard Howard Smith and Ken Perrin, representatives of the firm of Dryden and Smith of Kitchener who prepared the zoning by-law' as well as the earlier sub-division control by-law. Mr. Smith said he was pleased with the size and interest of the audience. Speaking to the ratepayers he explained that the zoning by-law was designed to protect property owners, industries and businesses against new developments that could cause problems to those already existing in an area and could decrease property values, The by-law, he said, prevents overcrowding by ensuring adequate lot sizes and adequate floor area in housing. Although restrictions are put on, what can and can't be done in various locations, he said, none of these are retroactive and thus cannot affect developments that have already taken place in the area. This brought forth a complaint from Murray Draper vvho asked Mr, Smith if he thought it was legal for the municipality to prevent building of a structure before the by-law was passed, The case involved a small workshop which Mr. Draper wanted to build in an area that will he designated residential when the law is passed. Mr. Draper had applied for a building permit in May but town council had refused to pass the permit because it contravened the impending zoning law and because insufficient plans were available for the building. The application 'had also brought Clinton branch of the Huron County Library has, a new supervisor. Miss Catherine Plumtree of Clinton commenced work Monday at the Clinton branch succeeding Mrs..
