Ray Knechtel of Jamestown is planning to put a small subdivision in an area of Jamestown and Mr. McIntosh explained that making,Jamestown an.urban.residential area was being considered as an amendment to the Grey Township Secondary plan. He explained that surrounding the area of urban development would be an area of restricted agriculture. "This restricted agriculture area requires that any livestock operation must conform to the Agricultural Code of Practice," he said. It was explained that the 'Jamestown subdivision would all be on one lot with severances to divide it up into smaller lots. Mr. -McIntosh also explained that there would also be a limited amount of develop- , nient in Henfryn allowing :for .• a small amount of infilling. Carol Nicholson was concerned that having restrictions would affect the resale value of the farms. "I think what you've got to do is look at other restricted areas. I think you'll find it Bernard auiarci, John Bones,chansker and Neil Hemingway, 4-H club leaders, were in charge of the presentations, There were 22 members in the Brussels 4-H calf club in 1979. The Brussels Agricultural Society sponsors the Brussels 4-H club and the Blyth 4-H Beef, Dairy, and. Rabbit clubs. Mr, Boneschansker thanked those who donated the trophies and awards. Terry Smith also thanked everyone for their support and awards , for the 4-H club members. Murray Cardiff, chairman of the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board, showed slides on the bean industry and of trips, he had made to the different countries such as England on behalf of the Bean Board. Brussels reeve Cal . Krauter, Morris Township reeve Bill 'Elston, Grey Township reeve Roy Williamson and. McKillop Township reeve Allan Campbell brought greetings from their municipalities and encouraged the Agricultural Society in the work it was doing. Rose Marie Bishop, secretary-treasurer for the Society.,also gave the financial report at the meeting. Gate receipts at the 1979 fair totalled $1523. Receipts for 19,79 totalled $9,572.63 and expenditures totalled $9,331.76. (the resale value) probably hasn't gone down," Mr. McIntosh said. An area resident Hank Boon said, "We , understand' we have restrictions now, but if rezoned urban residential, we will haveC greater restrictions, correct?' " Councillor Charlie Thomas also asked Mr. McIntosh if the restrictions would be greater than they are now or the same but Mr. McIntosh wasn't certain just what the restrictions would be. One woman wanted to know why urban and agricultural should., be:. mixed when places like Ethel and Brussels have empty houses. It was finally decided to have another meeting, with a representative from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food there to explain the implications of the Agricultural Code of Practice more clearly. At a meeting in September, residents of Moncrieff had expressed exactly the same fears about urban development there and as a result of those protests, Grey Township :had left Moncrieff an agricultural area.
