Christmas Greetings from the staff and residents of ‘4.1.144 Meeting brings opposition to official plan Continued from page 1A exact property boundaries or the lay of the land. For example, a residential development along the river bank is not designated on the map. Because of this, people who refer to the map can be mislead as to whether their property has been zoned one way or another. Approached on the matter, Dave Keenan, representing the town's hired planning con- sultants, Damas and Smith Ltd., said that each document, the plan map and the actual by-law, were drawn up for different govern- ment agencies and each department is looking at different aspects of the official plan. Another criticism of the plan is that it contains more specified zoning requirements than in the past, but no one involved in preparing the plan had bothered to inform residents of changes in zoning designations prior to the announcement of the public meeting. Even then according to this point of view, the onus was on Exeter residents to determine whether they were affected by any changes in the plan. The old official plan, which will KENNETH BURGESS Mr. Kenneth Burgess died suddenly of an accident on Thursday December 18. Mr. Burgess, of Lucan, is survived by his wife Sandra (Millington) Burgess and two sons, Craig and Jason, both at home.

MAISEY ESTELLA MATHESON Mrs. Maisey Estella Matheson died on Friday, December 19 at Victoria Hospital in London. Dear mother of Mrs. Betty Noseworthy of London and Kenneth Matheson of Oakville.

(Hunkin) Selves died at South Huron Hospital, Exeter on Thursday, December 18, a resident of the Bluewater Rest Home, Zurich, and formerly of Exeter in her 81st year. Beloved wife of the late John Selves and dear mother of (Helen) Mrs. Lee Webber and (Mabel) Mrs. Bob Hern, both of Usborne Township. Predeceased by one son, Fred Township of Hibbert SANITARY LANDFILL SITE Con. 9, Lot 22 • will be CLOSED from Jan. 4, 1976 until further notice. Last date of opening Sat., Jan. 3, 1976 Charles Friend, A.M.C.T. Clerk - Township Hibbert remain as the only official plan until the new one is passed, did not nlake distinctions in the three main areas of zoning, residential, commercial, and industrial, as does the proposed one.. The residential zones have been divided into R-1 for single through three-unit dwellings, R-2 for townhousing, 13-3 for apart- ments, and R-4 for mobile home parks, As explained at the meeting, once a particiilar zone has been designated and the official plan is approved, a resident is stuck with that zoning designation unless he is prepared to go through a complicated appeal procedure, involving the OMB, to have it changed. Thus, if a piece of property is designated R-1, the owner would be unable to build an apartment building on the property unless he were to appeal to have the zoning changed. The same applies to com- mercial and industrial zones which have been broken down into three categories apiece to restrict usage. Mel Gaiser expressed another criticism, He wondered why there were not more apartment (1938). Also survived by seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, Mrs. Selves rested at the R.C. Dinney Funeral Home, Exeter, where the funeral services were held on Saturday, December 20 with Hey. Barry Robinson of- ficiating. Interment followed in Exeter Cemetery. Pallbearers were Bill Lamport, Glen Lam- port, Floyd Stewart, Fred Hern, Doug Webber, and Fred Darling, Donations to the heart fund were appreciated by the family. CHARLES W. HODGERT Charles W. Hodgert died Sunday, December 21, 1975 at Victoria Hospital in London in his 68th year. He was a former resident of Exeter. Beloved husband of Mrs. Florence (Suttcliffe) Hodgert and dear father of Mrs. Karel Gillingham of Toronto and Brian of London. Also survived by three grand- children, Douglas, Heather and Jeffrey. Predeceased by four brothers and one sister. Funeral services will be conducted today, Wednesday, December 24 at the Needham Memorial Chapel, 520 Dundas Street at 1 p.m. with Rev. D. G, Tipple of Calvary United Church officiating. Interment will follow in Exeter Public Cemetery. Contributions to the heart fund would be appreciated. building zones contained in the official plan. "Housing has gotten so expensive that the need for apartments has long been established", he said. Keenan's reply was that the ratio of designated industrial, commercial, and residential land was based on the town's sewage capacity. Using the town's present limits as an indicator, the planning consonants estimated that a future population of 5,000 people would be about the most that the town could ac- Citizens comment Continued from page lA changes were being con- templated. The T-A confronted planning representative, Dave Keenan with the problem, asking him if any effort had been made in informing residents in advance as to zoning changes on their property. Keenan answered that this is not the usual procedure taken when preparing a plan. He said that the public notice, the public meeting, and the display of the map and by-laws concerning the plan were the available sources for the public to seek information. Keenan said that it was up to the citizens of Exeter to acquaint theinselves with the plan and come to the public meetings to raise any questions or objections to it. Responding to another question, Keenan said that it often takes as long as six months for a plan to go through the public meeting stage and finally become adopted by council. The length of time it takes for Exeter to rec- ceive its official plan will depend greatly on how many divergent citizens' views become expressed while the public meetings con- tinue. Initially, only one public meeting had been planned and council had thought that the plan might be passed before the new year. Now it looks as if there will be at least another public meeting, and perhaps more. Puppet show Continued from Page 1A before the show ended. Keelan skillfully accompanied the har- monies on guitar. As children and adults started the trudge through the snow towards home, toughts of Christmas began to return. But just as that most festive of all occasions is never forgotten from one, year to the next, the children of Exeter will look forward to another warm show from some nice people who happen to like children. commodate. He also told Gaiser that commercial zones could be used for apartment buildings, with a commercial complex on the first floor and apartments on the above levels, thus allowing for additional apartment capacity not apparent in either the planning by-law or the official plan map. At one stage of the meeting, Keenan replied to queries from developers about certain zoning designations. He told them that the consultants had attempted to consider what the provincial government's reaction would be and had acted accordingly in drawing up the plan. Reacting to the notion that thel plan had to conform to the wishes of Queen's Park, Gainer told those present, "I think for far too long we have been listening to people from Toronto tell us what to do. Man is killed between trucks A freak collision involving two trucks tragically took the life of Kenneth Burgess, RR 2 Lucan this past Thursday afternoon. Mr. Burgess, owner of Ken's Fina in Lucan, was killed when he was caught between two trucks that he was working on, He was attempting to undo a tow chain when the tow vehicle rolled backwards, instantly crushing him, Mr. Burgess is survived by his wife and two sons and parents in Cheshire, England. Funeral services were held Saturday at C. Haskett Funeral Home in Lucan. Earlier on Thursday, a yellow, 1968 Ford was reported to have fled from the scene of an accident where it had struck and broke off a telephone pole. The car will be damaged in the left front fender, as it caused approximately $200 damage to the pole a quarter mile north of County Road 16. t?Aitqld'oN.,,n Christmas1 Wishes wheittimmitrimiAmcs ixc?g, zww,tivlit (pit tv4 ctitt 1d'tsMoiltIoNctt?ArIg%vftz?!till?

HENRY DAVID THOREAU Nothing appears so peaceful and tranquil over the holiday season as a farmstead cloaked in a new fallen mantle of snow. But beneath the blanket of white lies the farmer's labors of the harvest season just past and the growing season soon to come. Momentarily dor- mant, the fruits of his labors will spring forth again to help feed and clothe a nation and a world. Even while his land dozes, the farmer and his family tend live- stock and prepare for yet another year of rebirth and renewal. The farmer's continued devotion to the land is one of the greatest gifts each of us receives on this or any Christmas.
