The meeting at the Hay Township Hall on Monday night indicated that the plan has general approval, although in its attempt to be fair to everyone, some property owners find themselves caught in the middle. The plan designates 800- 1000 feet of land from the Lake Huron shore as recreational area, and the adjoining 2,000 feet is designated as restricted agricultural land. This means that large scale agricultural operations will be restricted and that ex­ pansion of existing operations will be prohibited. Hog producer E. Hendrick says that he is caught in the middle; he can’t expand his production and that restricted agricultural land is useless to him. “Unless you can expand, you go backwards” he said. Keith Horner, who also owns property along this strip beside Highway 21 agreed, and said that he’d rather see the area zoned as recreational land if necessary, rather than MRS.

From the left are Donna Lansink and Irene Brown, T-A photo restricted agricultural property. “This way you can’t do anything with it” he said. People who have recently bought property for purposes which fall outside of the plan’s zoning restrictions may find themselves “stuck” also, A person who takes ownership of a business in an area zoned residential by the plan, but who commences operation before the plan takes effect, will be allowed to continue his business after the plan becomes a by-law. The problem arises should the owner decide to change the nature of the business or sell the establishment to someone else who wants to use the property for another kind of commercial venture. He will then violate the zoning by-law and may have considerable difficulty in getting his site rezoned for commercial pruposes. This situation is com­ plicated even more if the property he has purchased is designated as restricted agricultural land. He may then run into difficulty if he tries to either operate a commercial business or go into intensive farming. Confusion is clarified Some confusion existed between members of Exeter council over the disposition of a drainage problem related to them two weeks ago by Kingscourt Crescent resident Doug Palmer. “I would like to know the final disposition,” Mayor Bruce Shaw noted, saying that he had received conflic­ ting reports as to what the drainage committee had decided. Several members had taken a look at the problem and apparently had made some verbal commitments before the committee met. Reeve Si Simmons said earlier in the meeting that the matter would be left lay­ ing over at present. Shaw was not present at that time, having arrived a few minutes late for Monday’s session. Simmons told the Mayor that the problem being ex­ perienced by Palmer was not the town’s problem, but apparently related to the footing tiles at Palmer’s residence. “I can’t see where we have any obligation,” Sim­ mons said, that opinion be­ ing shared by other members of the committee. Chairman Ted Wright was not present Monday night to give a report. Bowling Continued from page 11 Barker 195, Ed Dowdall 181, Alex Young 174, Nellie Blum 172.

T-A photo receives projector By ELIZABETH SCHROEDER Building renovations, new equipment, books and con­ tests made the Exeter Library an exciting place this past summer. The renovations are not quite complete, but you will have noticed the improve­ ment to the building. New eaves, soffits, fascia, a new front door, drapes and some fresh paint have great­ ly enhanced the appearance of the library. Through the generosity of the local Lion.’s Club, we are now the proud owners of a 16 mm. Bell and Howell film projector. Classes will be held in the near future for those who wish instruction in its operation. It was very gratifying to receive a bequest of $800. from Keith Jobson, Victoria, B.C. and Gwen Prout, St. Marys in memory of Amy and Bert Jobson, deceased. The Jobson’s were members of our library for many years. The money will be used for books. We have had visitors to the library this summer Hom literally all over the world. It is lovely to see and cash them, especially former members, and to hear stories of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Japan, Scotland, etc. An enjoyable evening was spent last week when Mrs. Garrett, of Benmiller, spoke of her interest in local wild plants. Her books are available at the library. A word to students: Please remember that library is not geared to mass assignments - no library is. When you borrow books, finish the assignment and return them on the due date. There will be other students waiting for those same books. The winners of the Book Mark contest are Debbie Josephson, Exeterand Erica Coeck, Dashwood. Over 80 Club Herbert E. Harlton, RR 2 Dashwood/ (Shipka), is celebrating his 96th birth­ day on Sunday, October 22, 1978. § $: I i & I ’«$r< w. m $ $ -x'v Mi II WHERE'S ■ 11 TWiSli•V'. & I. V MOTHER GOING?
