Shaw explained that the policy of council will be to accept land. Len Veri, who had raised a number of concerns with regard to his subdivision was informed by council that most of the ob- jections had been made into amendments to the official plan. Veri had been concerned at the previous meeting that his property being zoned agricultural instead of residential would present problems to him when he was ready to develop it. He came to the second plan meeting with a plan, of his own showing how he wanted specific areas of his subdivision designated. Council agreed to consider the various residential zoning designations that he was asking for in their final amendments to the plan. Peter Aunger requested Council to include specific grade levels recommended by the new Ontario Building Code in the zoning by-law for residential property. He said that he was concerned that future homes in Exeter would be affected by drain problems that occurred to three new homes in an Exeter subdivision this fall, because the drainswere not installedproperly. Council accepted his proposed amendment, Another suggestion that greenhouses be allowed in Agricultural zones will also receive reconsideration by Council. Under the agricultural zoning regulations, greenhouses are not permitted. Other uses not permitted in the agricultural zone are poultry farins,mushreonl farms, fur farms, piggeries, hatcheries, kennels, and cattle barns. Members of council were surprised to learn that greenhouses had been included in that list. Now that the second public meeting has been held, council will consider all of the proposed amendments and can give the official plan and restricted area by-law second and final readings once all of the amendments have been finalized. From Exeter Council, the plan will go to several provincial goverment ministries, including the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications for approval. Citizens who are still dissatisfied with regulations in either of the two documents may apply for an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. If the Board warrants that a legitimate appeal has been made, public hearings will beheld in Exeter to determine if the appeal should be allowed.
