Executive. .committee report
• County sets new
severance policies
Huron County Council agreed
to a number of new policies with
regard to applications for
severances when it met for its.
March session in Goderich last
Friday.
Clause one provides that Wills
of Agreements signed prior to the
passing of the County Official
Plan should take precedence.
Wills of Agreement dated after
that passing should not be con-
sidered in arriving at a decision,
it was decided,
In future the applicable section
of the Official Plan or Secondary
Plan is to be stated in the ap-
proval or denial of any
severance. Decisions will be
made under the Secondary Plan
of the Municipality after the Plan
has had first reading.
In notifying an applicant of the
date of hearing of a severance, a
form must now accompany the
notice informing the applicant of
the agencies or persons objecting
to the severance, to enable the
applicant to prepare an ap-
propriate defelnce and save time
in dealing with the severance. A
copy of the objecting agency's
report is also to be forwarded _to
the applicant.
Where there is a conflict bet-
ween the Planning Department's
report on a severance and the
possible decision of the Land
Division Committee, it was
agreed the policy be continued
whereby the severance is to be
referred to the Planning Board
for comment prior to a decision
being made and a member of the
Land Division Committee is to
attend the Planning Board
meetings to explain differences
of opinion and the reason for the
referral.
In addition, the Planning Staff
is to advise, if requested, in
connection with a proposed
severance, whether in the opinion
of the staff, the proposed ap-
plication for severance would be
in conformity with the Official
Plan or Secondary Plan. The
applicant may then choose
whether or not he or she wishes to
proceed with the application
since the Land Division Com-
mittee actually makes the
decision.
In other matters relating to
severances a resolution from the
County of Kent, presented to
council through the Executive
Committee report, calling on the
Province to amend legislation
whereby the fee charged for
applications made for land
severance be increased from the
present maximum for $50 per
application to a maximum of $100
was supported.
Executive committee chair-
man William Morley told the
meeting that at present the
average cost of a severance
proceeding was about $115.
"We just feel that people who
apply for severances should be
the ones to bear the lion's share of
the cost," he explained.
In other Planning Board
business, council denied a
request from Salford Valley Hall
Incorporated to use a lot they
recently purchased across the
road from the Hall for parking.
gliSTER_
There is a good deal of interest
being expressed by the residents
of at least one township in Huron
County concerning the future
development of that township.
Stanley township has been
holding planning meetings on '
Tuesday nights and the turnouts
and discussions have been very
encouraging.
Last Tuesday, March 21, was
the second in the six meetings
scheduled in the township con-
cerning the development of their
secondary plan and over 80
people were present.
The purpose of the meetings is
to get some public input into the
formation of the townships
secondary plan with specific.
areas being discussed at each
meeting.
The last meeting, dealt with
agriculture's place in the
township. Among other things the
discussion dealt with severance
policies concerning the severing
of excess farm houses, of retiring
farmers' homes, lots and areas
for farmers children. Concern
was expressed by some present
that the severance of surplus
farm houses would lead to an
increase in housing not planned
for. For instance, there could be
farmers building houses,
declaring them surplus and
having them severed and selling
Acting on a recommendation of
their Development Committee,
Huron County Council authorized
a letter be forwarded to the
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, Drainage Section,
suggesting that any money not
required by municipalities in
Huron County be allocated to
other municipalities in Huron
which could use the funds.
The recommendation was the
result of a meeting between the
committee and Don Pullen,
Agriculture Representative for
Huron, at which Mr. Pullen
presented a report which set out
the methods used by the Province
in allocating funds and amounts
allocated to municipalities in
Huron and the surrounding
counties.
McKillop township Reeve Allan
Campbell asked just how the
funds could be redistributed
when each township did not k now
until November at least how
much money they had used.
Morris township Reeve Bill
them and then turning around
and repeating the process unless
the township is very stringent
with the number and kind of
severances allowed.
Also discussed at the meeting
were the amounts of urban
development which should be
allowed in the township, par-
ticularly along the lake front and
the use the Bayfield river valley
should be put to.
The meetings are taking the
form of public forums and no
Elston explained that it would in
fact be funds from the previous
year which would be
redistributed to cover the cost of
projects in other areas.
Council also approved a budget
of $6,850 for the County Exhibit
at the 1978 International Plowing
Match.
Another council endorsement
went to a recommendation for the
continuation of the ARDA
program, on the same basis as in
the past, and that the Ministers
responsible for a new agreement,
and Federal and Provincial
Members of Parliament be ad-
vised. '
That'endorsement arose from a
letter from the Rural Develop-
ment Officer, ARDA Branch of
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, advising that the ARDA
program in Ontario, which began
in 1963, was coming to the end of
its present Federal-Provincial
agreement.
Both Ottawa and Queen's Park
share in the financing .
specific commitments are being
made by the planning committee
at the county or township level.
What they are trying to do is
discover, through public input,
just what the majority of the
ratepayers want the future of
Stanley township to be.
So far the meetings have been a
great success and are being held
every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. in
the Varna Township hall from
now until April 12.
going out and seeing things."
Forrest says Clark didn't tell
much about his religious con-
viction, "but probably he told or
implied most of what there is to
tell," Clark said he was a
practicing Catholic, and "I feel
comfortable at church. It might
have more to do with a sense of
continuity than with anything
more inspirational."
On specific issues, Clark said
he opposes abortion on demand.
"I think it leads to a sense of
social irresponsibility." on,
lotteries, he doubted that
prohibition would be effective
and that Loto Canada would
"appreciably affect public
morality."

Huron County Council passed a
by-law last Thursday
establishing the apportionment
for 1977 to be paid by each
municipality toward County
spending,
As required under the
Municipal Act the County
determined the percentage share
that each municipality was to
contribute according to the
proportion that the equalized
assessment of each municipality
bears to the total equalized
assessment of all municipalities
within the County,
In former years, the per-
centage paid by each
municipality for Health,
Huronview, Children's Aid,
Social Services and Library has
been based on population rather
than assessment.
Provision is made that the
County may, if it feels the by-law
passed under the first regulations
is not just and equitable, amend it
to make apportionment more
equitable.
As a result, such ' an am-
mendment was passed at the
same time.
In general apportionment the
rates range from $27,644 for the
village of Blyth to $395,002 for the
Town of Goderich. Clinton will
pay $122,892, Exeter $170,308,
Seaforth $73,845 and Wifigham
$141,163.
In the townships the• general
apportionment ranges from West
Wawanosh with $46,335 to
Stephen with $218,403. Under the
amendment those high and low
rates change to $51,445 in West
Wawanosh and $209,725 in
Stephen.
In other Exective Committee
business, County Councillors
supported a recommendation
from the committee that a grant
of $500 be paid to both the Huron

Country Playhouse and the Blyth
Center for the Arts.
Committee Chairman William
Morley explained that the
representatives of the Playhouse
and Blyth Centre for the Arts had
appeared before the committee
to seek the grant.
The 1977 budget for the
Playhouse is $175,000 with $5,000
expected from municipal bodies,
The Ontario Arts Council may
base their grant according to
local participation, he said,
The 1977 budget for the myth
Centre is $61,000 with $3,000
expected from municipal
government. Wintario grants are
available if matched by local
contributions.
Mr. Morley said it had been the
opinion of the committee that the

equal numbers of Huron
residents so had recommended
the same grant for each,
