HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1972-09-07, Page 18`•`The plan is futuristic, but now
is the time to start thinking about
it, while so many options remain
open."
These were Huron county
Planning director Gary David-
son's closing remarks to the
almost 50 ratepayers who got
their first good look at proposed
county development plans for the
village of Zurich last week.
The residents showed little
reaction to the slide presentation
and maps which outlined the
aims and potential of the village,
"But at least it's a start," said
Davidson. "It will get them
thinking about it".
The purpose of the proposals is
to re-establish Zurich as the
commercial centre of the
agricultural area it once served,
and at the same time, take ad-
vantage of the increasing number
of tourists and cottagers who are
locating on the lake, near the
village.
"We want to develop the
commercial area to attract
tourists, but to keep in harmony
with the present atmosphere,"
said county planner Nick Hill,
"We want to avoid the neon-lit,
hot-rodder, French-fry type of
tourist village."
The proposals incorporate
recommendations for a face-lift
and development of the core
commercial area, a planned
residential scheme, and a 12-acre
industrial park.
Hill said that 30 percent of the
commercial area is vacant land,
and that this land is scattered and
fragmented throughout the core.
"It lacks color, life and land-
scaping," he said.
He said there is room for at
least six shops and one large
supermarket-type store.
The plan also calls for an open-
air summer market on the west
side of Victoria Street, which
would involve limiting the street
to one-way traffic, and the
building of pedestrian walkway
between Victoria and Goshen
streets, to provide store frontage
and easy access for shoppers.
Hill described Zurich as a
"dormitory village", with the
people living there, but com-
muting to jobs in other com-
muntities. He said that 42 percent
of the village land has no urban
use, and with proper planning,
has the potential for almost
doubling the 225 houses now in
Zurich to 425, also doubling the
population.
Optimum development, he
explained, would provide for 30
new buildings in the north-west
corner, 30 in the south-west, 20 in
the south-east, and 122 in the
north-east.
One resident questioned the
rather small size of the lots in
question, He said that in a small
community such as this, people
just wouldn't take to living within
an arm's length of each other.
Davidson agreed, but said the
figures were only a starting
point. Some of the lots might be
bigger, some smaller, but the
average would approximate the
7,500 square foot area outlined.

How often you should have
your wheel alignment checked
depends on WHERE and HOW
you drive.
A clogged carburetor air
cleaner can hurt your cor't
emission control system
(besides wasting gas.)
If you regularly drive two cars,
they should have the same
type of brakes (power or
regular).
Engine life can be prolonged if
you drive slowly for the first
few warm-up miles.
Besides giving you a bad ride,
faulty shocks will also result in
shorter tire wear, reduced
traction, even poor gas
mileage.
Why not get a fresh start with one of

Zurich facelift plans outlined at open meeting
Hill said there should also be an
area designated for apartment
buildings, but that in all the
residential development, there
would have to be definite
phasing, to open up one area at a
time.
The third major proposal is the
development of the industrial
park, in the south-east corner of
the village, immediately off high-
way 4. Industries best suited to
the village would be "dry" ones,
such as mobile home
manufacturers or wood product
firms, which do not 'require large
quantities of water for production
or waste disposal.
Hill said the proposed location
would mean that there would be
little increase in heavy traffic
through the village, and there is
an ample bush area between the
site and the residential section to
act as a buffer zone. Now, said
Hill, Zurich has a labbr force of
175 people, and there is only one
industry in the village, which
employs 19 people.
Reeve Gordon Hess em-
phasized to the audience that the
plans are not something that will
happen over night. As of yet, the
plans are simply suggestions.
He added that it will be difficult
for people to change their
thinking about the community,
because thus far,. Zurich has
grown up on a "pay-as-you-go"
basis. But he urged that villagers
take a hard look at the over-all
plan for the future.
