Get parking
suggestions
Putting a parking building
on the beach parking lot is
one of several secret
proposals Grand Bend is
looking at to solve the
village’s chronic parking
problems.
The suggestion was added
to a list of ideas Tuesday
night that council declined
to make public.
“These are just tentative
proposals we are looking at.
They are just general
ideas,11 said Reeve Bob
Sharen.
The beach parking lot idea
was raised by councillor
Keith Crawford.
“I think it would make
sense to put a second tier of
parking down by the beach.
If it is done right it can look
attractive,” said Crawford.
Deputy reeve Bob Simp
son strongly apposed the
idea.
“Let me know when
you’re going to start so I can
put up a for sale sign. The
taxes would have to double
to pay for it. You can’t put
up that kind of a project and
pay for it on a two month
operation.”
Councillor Bill Baird said
the village already had the
land and it was where people
wanted to park.
Councillor Harold Green
agreed. “I’ve seen some
damn nice parking lots. It is
a lot of land that we own and
right where we want it.”
Reeve Bob Sharen said
people might react strongly
against a parking building
being built in the beach
area.
“Can you see us getting
away with that,” he said.
Green agreed that people
in the area would complain
about it because it was
something new.
“I think it can be done at
tractively. The main point
is, I don’t thing we should
writeit off,” said Crawford.
The proposal was added to
the list of other identified
ideas.

Firm appeals
OMB ruling
ofGerplex Limited owner
11 lots in Grand is appealing
an Ontario Municipal Board
decision which upheld a
village zoning bylaw
changing the lots from
commercial to residential
zoning.
The OMB decision dated
July 27 said since there is no
municipal sewer service
available, it is poor planning
to prezone any lands. Any
development should follow
the installation of services
and then only with site plan
agreements and controls.
The OMB also said that to
zone the lots commercial is
to invite development
without controls because
there is no official plan for
the area at this time.
“The evidence is that the
company does not have any
plan of development at
this time.We agree with the
municipal planner, that to
prezone these lands ‘Com
mercial’, would be bad
planning,’’
The lots owned by Gerplex
were originally all zoned
commercial under a 1958
zoning bylaw. The company
claims the decision by the
OMB didn’t take intq con
sideration that sewer con
struction would take place in
the near future.
“...it is now known that
easements are being
acquired and plans have
been drawn to be let for
tender on the first of
October, 1978 for sewer
construction to commence in
the Spring of 1979, something
which the Responder (Grand
Bend) knew or ought to have
known at the time of the
hearing but which was not
lead in evidence, ’’ Gerplex’s
notice of appeal said.
Village reeve Bob Sharen
said there was no
misrepresentation on Grand
Bend’s part to the OMB
hearing. The board was
informed the earliest
starting date for sewers
would be April 1979.
Sharen said he had heard
that tenders might be let in
October, but the information
didn’t even come from a
government official. No firm
starting date for sewer
construction has been
established, he said.
Council decided to ask that
costs for the appeal be
awarded to the village.
municipality for services in
metric units The original
agreements were for im
perial units and the bylaw
was required for the change
in billing.
At the last regular
meeting council decided not
to pass the bylaw
In other business. Council
objected to draft approval
being given to Green Forest
Estates planned subdivision
unless there was a three-
party agreement between
the developer, Stephen, and
Grand Bend regarding
water supply and sewers.
Council learned that the
Ministry of Industry and
Tourism would not be able
to carry out a full feasibility
study on harbor iim
provements in Grand Bend.
However, a mini-study will
be carried out.
The Ministry of Housing
informed council that there
had been few replies to the
assistant housing survey
The ministry suggested
more publicity and adver
tising be done Council re
jected the idea.
Harold Green told council
there was still problems
with a shortage of life
guards for the rest of the
summer. Lifeguards have
quit and in the future there
should be contracts signed.
Green suggested. He said he
will try to get people to fill
in for the remaining time.
