T-A photo Zone bylaw off to OMB Exeter’s new zoning bylaw, approved last fall by council, has now received its final amendments and will be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board for their consideration. The amending bylaw was given third and final reading this week by council after ministry of housing official Stu Humphries said the amendments contained some technical changes as well as other changes which had been sought by local residents through their ob­ jections to the original docu­ ment. While there was some question whether the docu­ ment had to be circulated in the municipality again, council agreed with a recommendation from the planning board to forego that step and send it directly to the OMB. It was indicated the board may require that the amendments be cir­ culated. Mayor Derry Boyle ex­ pressed the town’s apprecia­ tion to Humphries, who had spent considerable time working on the new official plan and zoning bylaw. “You saved us a lot of money,” Boyle said. County planning director Gary Davison, who was also present, was thanked as well. To the Wine Country of Ontario and New York A Quality Heritage Tour Available Through.........
