The proposed official plan
for the village of Grand
Bend will be presented to
residents at a public
meeting Tuesday, April 10 at
7 p.m. in the Grand Bend
village hall.
The meeting is being spon
sored by the planning board
of the village and will allow
for questions, comments
and suggestions.
Copies of the first draft of
Proposed official plan predicts village growth
the plan have been cir
culated to all residents of
Grand Bend during the past
two weeks.
A research report was
prepared in 1978 under the
direction of the planning
board to provide the
necessary information upon
which the plan policies could
be formulated.
The report covered a wide
variety of subject matter in
eluding existing land uses,
services, population trends,
labour force, hazard lands,
transportation, parks, etc.
The plan report suggests
that by the year 2001, Grand
Bend may have a population
of between 1,374 and 1,787
persons of which between
912 and 1,186 may be classed
as permanent residents.
No distinction should be
made between permanent

and seasonal residents as
far as land use and servicing
requirements were concern
ed.
It was recognized that
population projections from
such small base is a hazar
dous process at best and the
source^ of population data
which are unreliable add to
the difficulties.
Trends in the past have in
dicated a decline in the
seasonal component of the
population. Conversion of
seasonal residential
dwellings to year-round use
is continuing. Problems are
expected to arise from such
conversions, especially
where older cottages are in
volved that give rise to
strong concern over health
and safety factors.
According to the draft
plan. Grand Bend has a
higher than average number
of older residents.
The report continues,
"The more older residents
reflects a trend to use Grand
Bend for retirement pur
poses which must be a con
sideration in the provision of
social and immunity
facilities.”
Although general building
conditions appeal to be very
good, the village is currently
deficient in certain types of
local neighbourhood parks to
serve the permanent popula
tion.
This appears tq be es
pecially true in the older
parts of the village in the
northwest part. The report
says, "Municipal action to
provide parks either in
dependently or in conjunc
tion with redevdopment
projects should |»e con
sidered.”
The plan indicates there is
a lack of housing Available
on large lots attraptive to
middle income purchasers.
“The village should
carefully monitor and
evaluate its position in this
respect and if it fi^ds that
development outsjhe the
village boundaries is
detrimental to its pwn ef
forts at redevelopmqit of its
general economic well be
ing, then a re-exaqination
of the village’s boundaries
should be undertaken.”
"In the meantime the
village should concentrate
its efforts to encourage
development and redevelop
ment once sanitary sewers
are installed, and provide in
centives to landowners to
provide for the market
needs.”
"In particular attention
should be given to en
couraging consolidated
development of fragmented
land holdings.”
The report says the
primary objective of the
plan is to enhance and
preserve those environmen
tal qualities which con
tribute to the attractiveness
and economic well-being of
the municipality.
"Any development which
takes place should be
designed and located so as
not to detract from the en
vironmental attributed
described above.”
"In addition lands that
