Before a crowd of 30 people, the
summary meeting of the Hay
township secondary plan
workshops was held Thursday
evening in Zurich.
The meeting which lasted over
three hours, was given a sum-
mary of the previous workshops
by George Penfold of the Huron
County Planning department.
Penfold said that 'the summary
meeting was most challenging
for me due to the challenge of
arriving at a general concensus.'
Penfold emphasized that the
county plan is the basic working
document and that the im-
S
plementation of a township plan
is an attempt to adapt the county
plan to a finer geographic area.
The first meeting on
agriculture expressed concern
about the present trend towards
large scale livestock operations
and said that there should be a
clarification on what constitutes
an agricultural use.
Rural residential use should be
permitted but should not be
allowed to be established on class
one, two or three land.
The agricultural meeting
placed importance on the im-
provement of wood lots.
Acquisition of more public
access for beaches came out of
the recreation meeting with a
general satisfaction about
recreational facilities presently
available in the township.
The role of seasonal dwellings
in the township was not resolved
by the workshops, `No consensus
about the conversion of cottages
to full time use emerged',
Penfold said, 'and the plan will
have to deal with that.'
Trailer camps should be
allowed to be developed by
private interests.
In terms of urban development,
servicing was viewed as the most
important consideration, but
something which a township plan
could do little about. 'The plan
can't force urban development to
occer',,Penfold stated.
While urban strip development
is not the most desirable, some
mixture of urban-commercial
development should be allowed to
take place, Penfold told the
audience.
The concensus from the natural
environment workshop was that
the greenbelt in Hay swamp
should be preserved and that no
major extractive operations

should be permitted without the
permission of the Aur.able-
Bayfield Conservation Authority.
The final plan for Hay will not
be ready for implementation for
another one and a half to two
years, the Huron County planner
said, Within the next three to four
months a decision in terms of
policy should be completed with a
draft plan ready in six months,
Penfold said. 'A' draft plan
won't satisfy everyone', Penfold
warned, Once the official plan is
passed, the zoning bylaws which
enforce the plan should' be read
shortly afterwards.
When the meeting was opened
up to the public several questions
with regard to services came up,
Joe Miller wondered if a
municipality was obligated to
upgrade services in a rural area
where urban growth had oc-
curred if 15 years from now the
residents demand it,
Penfold replied that in serious
situations, the Ministry of the
Environment would intervene to
provide adequate services.
An elderly resident of Dash-
wood stated that her basement is
flooded every year and pointed to
a local farmer who she felt was
responsible for the problems.
Both Reeve Jack Ti-nney
chairman of the meeting, and
Penfold replied that a township
plan could do nothing to alleviate
such a problem and that the
township could only act under the
Municipal Drains Act which
requires that a petition must be
received before the municipality
could take action.
Although couched in at times
humorous terms, the audience
expressed real concern over
possible annexation moves by
Hensall in order to acquire more
land for residential expansion. In
a statement that received a
humorous reaction from the
crowd, Hay council member
Lionel Wilder said 'They can slip
into to Tuckersmith just as easy
as into • •
Miller said that annexation
would bring few if any benefits to
Hay.
There should be a definite
statement in the plan as to where
industrial expansion should be
allowed to develop stated Tom
McCullough. `There should be
some iron in the glove... industry
goes here, agriculture stays here.

repeating in the old industrial
growth pattern and keep

McCullough asked.
In reply Penfold said that some
industry in Hensall is
agriculturally oriented and that
'the size of scale is the important
question. From Hensall's stand-
point labor is supplied by outside
sources and that if they don't
have residential land their
downtown core will be affected.'
On the question of the con-
version of seasonal residences on
the lakeshore to permanent
dwellings and its ramifications to
the township, McCullough end
again lead the discussion in
stating that the conversion
process was already taking place
and the question now was how to
stop it,
`Conversion is a difficult thing
to stop and that the controls
would have to be indirect,
At this point Miller stated that
as long as the housing is not
designated permanent
residential, services do not have
to be provided.
It was felt by Mrs, Joe Miller
that the high cost of housing has
forced people into not owning

has resulted in the increased
winterization of summer homes.
'Its more of a waste of
agricultural land for a six month
residence than for a full-time
residence.' McCullough said,
