Twenty-eight residents of Main St, this week presented Exeter council with a petition asking that the area between Victoria St. and the river be zoned as residential, While this is the designation given to the properties under the proposed new official plan, there were numerous requests from the commercial owners in that area to have the entire street designated as commercial. This was also the designation suggested by the planning board. A memo placed before council by Mayor Bruce Shaw suggested that council leave the area as residential and give the com- mercial operators "status zoning". Speaking for the residential owners' delegation at Monday's council meeting, Ed Gackstetter said they took "strong op- position" to the suggestion it be designated as commercial. He noted this could result in a "haphazard jungle" of shops and houses and would not enhance the appearance of the area. He explained that the area was presently well maintained and the residents desired to continue to enjoy the quality of that en- vironment in the years to come, The petition noted that the residential owners were not opposed to progress, but they did not want to give way to com- mercial use in the area represented, There was little debate on the subject as council approved the suggestion in the memo from the Mayor that the area be left as residential with the "status zoning" given to the commercial owners. A letter was received later in the meeting from C. V. Laughton on behalf of Sherwood (Exeter) Ltd. that their property be left as commercial. Another letter was received from Mr. and Mrs, G.
