Mr. & Mrs. Murray Reid were Sunday supper guests with Mr, & Mrs. Robert Jackson, in Credit on , • around the turn of the century. Council felt there was too little difference between the two zonings and as councillor Bob Simpson pointed out larger lots than are presently there would be needed to park both cars in a semi-detached home, a stipulation under the new bylaw, which would prohibit R2 growth. Council did approve three changes. Frank Sherwobd's property, which was half development and half residential (RI) has been changed to com- pletely R1; John Manore, who stores boats behind his home, had his designation changed from industrial to commercial and the definition of basement will be amended because the previous definition would have allowed people with toilet facilities in the basement to live in it, never completing the house. After the bylaw is approved by council,probably in May residents will have 14 days to file com- plaints with the OMB after receipt of the bylaw, which will be mailed to all citizens.

The Grand Bend zoning bylaw has such policies, in an 80 page book called Interim Planning Policies for Grand Bend. It contains the final objec- tives; the reasons behind the shape and way the plan was designed. Although it is not a bin- ding agreement at present, future councils will have it to refer to when they examine cases of zoning changes. It can become a binding policy manual if and when Grand Bend applies for and receives status as a "planning area" under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Municipal Board. There are eight objectives for the bylaw spelled out in the policy manual; all of them look- ing to the future when it is ex- pected Grand Bend's population will increase, both permanent and seasonal. Some of the objectives are already clearly set out in the bylaw. others are more ten- tative, almost speculative. The same line runs through all eight of them, however, a theory that Grand Bend, although tourist oriented, must examine the in- crease of full time residents and the facilities for them; provide better permanent facilities to keep the people from travelling to other areas for entertainment and commercial needs, yet always remembering the Council expects lakefront dispute FOR CARPET!

' THE BEEHIVE DEPT. STORE Grand Bend council rejected a request for a change in the zoning bylaw from lawyer C. Van Laughton Monday night when they decided to stand by their original policy and not allow any commercial development on the beach area, They also turned down two other requests for revisions and made three changes. In turning down Laughton's request, made on behalf of the Mcllroys of Grand Bend who he represented, Reeve Bob Sharen said council could "expect to go to the ()MB (Ontario Municipal Board for a hearing) on the lakefront because of a major objection." In the bylaw, all the beach area ist designated an Environmental Ffi'oteetIbnr zone which means there can be no building on it. The EP zoning is not stipulated by the planners but by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Building can take place, but it is closely monitored and must be proven to be environmentally unhazardous. The McIlroy property, which is for sale, extends to the water and Laughton said they wanted to rezone their property com- mercial. Laughton claimed government land could be designated EP, but private property was not under such jurisdiction, The Mcllroys, who had sold the property and then reacquired it, have had the property since before the first World War. "It is a question of title", said Laughton. If Laughton does object to the zoning, he will have to take his case to the ()MB. Council also turned down a request from Bill Adelman to rezone his property CT for commercial tourism. Adelman's property is presently zoned for development, and council felt that a com- mercial tourist designation would leave too much leeway in any development scheme. Development zones are more stringently monitored and need concrete plans for zone changes. The final rejection again concerned Laughton, who felt that the north side of the Gibb's survey should be zoned R1 like the south side. It is presently R2. Council decided against the proposal because of the little difference between R1 and R 2 zoning. R2 zoning allows for hoarding houses, duplexes and semi-detached homes, while RI prohibits it. Laughton argues that the two surveys were the same piece of land before a drainage cut was put through between them, • Great Prices • Great Selection By MRS.

B() (Iticiue, with whom Anne had Recent visitors with Mr. & Mrs, Oscar Miller were their cousins seasonal population, The objectives of the bylaw, or the possible official plan are: • Preservation of the natural beauty of the area, The plan looks to maintaining the tree cover and environmental aspects of the shoreline of Lake Huron, the old river bed, the Ausable river and the Walker drain. All of these areas are zoned "En- vironmental Protective". • Development which will keep the cost of municipal services at a minimum. Sufficient revenue from development in order to keep the general rate low will be encouraged. • Maintaining the tourist in- dustry, Development of tourist oriented facilities will be "en- couraged in the appropriate places", says the document. Year round activities will be en- couraged, particularly from the aspect of providing better employment opportunities and aiding in the lowering of the tax base to residents, • Residential development, both permanent and seasonal will be encouraged, particularly north of Main St. • The pursuit of property im- provement programs by the Village. Plans like the Ontario Housing Rehabilitiation Program (OHRP ) or the Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) will be looked into and used to beautify the properties in Grand Bend. • The improvement of both vehicle and pedestrian thoroughfares. The lessening of automotive transportation in residential areas, allowing freer use by pedestrians in both the residential areas and commer- cial zones, plus the development of suitable parking facilities. • Pursuing the development of community facilities, like a com- munity hall, and open space. This would tend to keep residents who have to travel to Exeter, Parkhill or Seaforth in Grand Bend for entertainrrient and cox* munity functions. • The possibility of expansion beyond the boundaries of the Village, maybe by annexation. If development is carried on out- side the village, it is suggested that there be no extra burden put on ratepayers in Grand Bend for the provision of services. This means developers would have to provide the services as part of the residence price. Men's Nev'r Press Children's Cougar JOGGERS Suede :Blue, Yellow.
