Planning consultants, Kit-'
chener, presented a compre
hensive appraisal for a plan
ning program .for the County of
Huron.
The outline submitted in
cluded: physical features,
such as geology, physio
graphy,' and topography, soils
and land capability, climate
and natural resources; his
torical background; transport
ation and com munication popu
lation; economic base and
development; housing; public
services and utilities; land
use studies, both urban and
rural; schools; community
facilities and services; parks,
recreation and conservation;
and local government.
“The development plan is
meant to act as a general
guide for the orderly and
logical development of an
area,” Mr. Smith stated. “By
its very nature, such a plan
• is domprehensive in scope
rather than detail. It provides
the necessary larger under
standing of planning problems,
the establishment of a frame
work within which to work and
the assurance of continuity
and compatibility of local pro
posals.”
Mr. Smith advised that a
fulltime planning and develop
ment officer would be required
to implement planning pro.
posals. He estimated that the
cost of the study, analysis
and draft plan preparation, as
outlined in the appraisal,
would range between $55,000
and $60,000 spread over 18
months of the contract. Final
costs, however, could not be
fixed accurately until a
detailed programme has been
agreed upon between the
County of Huron and the
consultants.
The report concluded: (1)
that a planning programme
is vital to the future growth
and development ofthe County
of Huron and its municlpaL
ities; (2) that this programme
should be undertaken as soon
as possible; (3) that only the
County has the resources re
quired; (4) that costs involved
are njinor in relationship to
the costs, both financial and
social, of an uncontrolled and
unguided grpwth; (5) that the
emphasis mustbetowardposi-
five rather than negative pro
grammes of control; (6) that
implementation undoubtedly
will require at least one ad
dition to the permanent staff
of* the County, and that re
organization of municipal
functions between the County
and its member municipalities
may be indicated.
Mr. Smith recommended
that the appraisal and pro
gramme be accepted in prin
ciple by the Industrial and
Tourism Committee, and that
the latter report to County
Council and request Council’s
approval to call a meeting of
all county municipalities to
discuss the programme.
The report noted existing
defined planning areas and
controls: Clinton, Inactive
planning board; Exeter, plan,
ning board; Goderich, plan
ning board; Wingham, joint
planning board with Morris,
Turnberry andEastWawanosh
Townships. Area subdivision
control bylaws exist in God
erich and Wingham, and Col-
borne, Goderich, Morris,
Stanley, Turnberry and Wa-
wanosh Townships; restricted
area bylaws in Goderich and
Exeter towns, and Colborne
and Stephen Townships,
After going over the re
port, Mr. Smith comments,
. “If the County of Huron un
dertakes’ the Planning” Pro
gram, it won’t solve all your
problems. It is like a roof;
it can serve as a shelter while
you build the municipality pro
perly. It should show how the
taxpayers can benefit, how
mistakes can be avoided,
“A Plan won’t solve all your
problems but it will solve
some of them,” he declared.
“I think it is vitally needed
and urge the County of Huron
to adopt it.”
E. A, Gomme, divisionhead-
for Community Planning, On
tario Department of Munici
pal Affairs, declared that the
appraisal as submitted offered
a very fair outline if the County
of Huron ever decided to pro
ceed with it. The firm was
a highly respectedfirm of con
sultants.
Indicating steps to be taken,
Mr. Gomme said the County,
once it had decided to pro
ceed, must apply to the Min.
ister of Municipal Affairs ask.
ing him to define a planning
area. There should be a fair
amount of justification for
Establishing a planning unit./ “I think the County of Huron
is a logical unit to undertake
a planning program as a plan,
ning area,” he suggested.
