HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1971-07-08, Page 161 I Members of Huron County Council greeted, with mixed feelings the announcement at "Fridiy's session in Goderich that a planning technician will be hired by the Huron County Planning board with duties to commence as soon as possible, Gary Davidson, planning director for the county, told council the new employee would do the drafting which must be done in connection with county and municipal planning. "This is a time-consuming job," stated Davidson. "I could do it but we would not be providing proper services to the municipalities in Huron." "We really need a planning technician," explained Reeve Charles Thomas, Grey Township and chairman of the planning board, "Not so much from a county point of view but from the municipal point of view." The salary of a planning technician would be in the range of $6,500 to $7,500 annually and qualified applicants are available from Mohawk College, Davidson explained. Davidson also told council that local councils may collect a cash fee up to five percent of the value of any lot or subdivision prior to development under the Planning Act. The money realized from this department, Davidson pointed out, was to be used for recreational purposes in the area. A suggestion was made by the committee that this cash be put into a county fund which in turn would be used to purchase properties for park purposes on a county basis. Anson McKinley, deputy-reeve of Stanley, said he felt the control of this money should be left en- tirely in the hands of the local municipalities who could pool the money in the county fund, with a neighboring township or keep it for recreational facilities in their own areas, just as they saw fit. Gerry Ginn, deputy-reeve of Goderich Township, thought that the five percent fee could be split between the local municipality and the county to give both councils an opportunity to develop recreational facilities in the county. No decision was reached on the matter and it is expected the planning board will review the situation further before making a recommendation to council. All helped at Friedsburg By MRS.
