That was the opinion of Huron County coun- cillor Bill Elston when council members discussed the culmination of two-years of study into the ramifications of urban development in rural areas (URIDA). Similar opinions were expressed by other members of council concerning the report entitled Countryside Planning. The $110,000 report was presented to county council Friday for "discussion only to enable planning board to make recommendations", County Planning Director Gary Davidson told members, Prepared by J. F. MacLaren Consultants Ltd. of London, the report,concentrated on the three main land uses in the county - agriculture, urban and recreation. The study was financed through 80 percent provincial government money and 20 per- cent Huron County funds. It is the first time that land use planning from an agricultural perspective has been studied in the province. Huron was chosen as a pilot study area because it was the first rural county to adopt an official county plan. Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn, however, didn't feel there was much new or helpful in the study. In fact, according to Reeve Ginn, the study only confused him more than ever concerning land use planning for Huron. "I thought this study would look at planning from a rural point of view," Ginn told council. "I don't think this does." Reeve Ginn had plenty of questions to ask concerning what was contained in the report. Most importantly, he wanted to know how the planners proposed to restrict growth in villages and hamlets while allowing towns to grow as quickly and as large as necessary. Gary Davidson told him that villages and hamlets would ex- pand with their abilities to provide services. He said that growth in the village would come from the areas around them and it would not be "exceedingly fast" while growth in the towns could be encouraged. Reeve Fred Haberer of Zurich called villages an "important arm" in the county community. He charged that the MacLaren study was a "rural report and a big town report," but had nothing of value to offer the villages and hamlets of the county, The study makes two major recommendations. One is that urban development should be onto poor quality farmland when it is necessary to expand; the second is that it provides the five county towns with room to grow in a specific radius around them and that within this circle, the growth should be orderly and predictable. Farmers with property within the growth area of one of the five towns would have 10, 20 and 30 year assurances, the report suggests with the farmers on the outer perimeter of the growth circle having the 30-year assurance and the permission to remain on their farms for the remainder of their lives if that was their wish. Reeve Warren Zinn of Ashfield was concerned about the "old surveys" scattered throughout the county. "Building is going op but it doesn't seem to be going on correctly," Reeve Zinn observed. "How does this plan control that?" Planning director Davidson said the initial step would be to determine boundaries and then control. development. Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson argued there was "nothing in the report about specific areas for development." He was par- ticularly concerned about recreational land use along the lakefront. He learned that for the present at least, agricultural land was considered more important than recreational land. One specific area of develop- ment interested Reeve Ginn. He wanted to know what "scenic easement development" was and he learned that where scenic easement development was in effect, there was a fee paid to the landowner to permit public access to a particularly scenic or natural beauty spot. As Warden Anson McKinley curtailed discussion on the report, he reminded council this was only the first of many op- portunties to debate this document. It now goes back to the planning board for study and recommendation before coming hack to the council chambers at a later date. Board to discontinue school crossing guards The Huron Board of Education Monday reaffirmed a previous decision to discontinue school crossing guards at the end of December. In August the board voted to end school patrols effective September 1 and end their financial support of adult crossing guards at the end of the year. The board employs an adult guard at Victoria Public School in Goderich and pays half the wages of a similar guard at the in- tersection of Highway 4 and Victoria streets in Exeter near the Exeter public school. The original decision was made to eliminate the guards and student patrols to end the possibility of legal liability in the event of an accident. At that time the board hoped Exeter and Goderich councils would pay for the guards as other councils in the county do. On September 4, Exeter council agreed to assume the cost as of Iralwo January 1, 1976, but changed their policy two weeks later and asked the school board to reconsider the decision regarding the sharing of costs involved. Director of Education John Cochrane said Monday he felt there was some misun- derstanding between crossing guards and student patrols. The original Goderich resolution requested that the Board continue providing a student patrol safety program for the elementary school system and said it would review the matter of crossing guards and would take effort to fill the need. Exeter board member Clarence 'King' MacDonald said "I don't know who should pay for the service of the crossing guard but in no way can a grade seven or eight student handle street crossings during the busy traffic on Highway 4 in Exeter," The motion to stick by their original decision was made by trustee John Elliott, . ... 1 BANNOCKBURN WALKERS — Between 250 and 300 area residents — took advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday to enjoy a hike at the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority's Bannockburn area, just north-east of Varna. The hikers, almost double the number that turned out last year, were led by Roger Martin, Peter Rumba, Ted Jones or d Deana Young of the Authority staff who explained the various natural aspects of the park. Mr. Martin said that on the bask of the turnout, another hike will be held next fall and a spring hike featuring wildflowers will be considered. T-A photo
