Reeves claim plan too rigid Want more considerations Howick Lions hold Bingo,. What is termed "too rigid" terms governing mobile homes in Huron County's proposedOfficial Plan was part of the reason that the matter was referred back to the planning board for more study. As well, members of county council did not approve of the terms in the plan concerning land division policies. As far as mobile homes are concerned, it was pointed out by members of council that ac- cording to the plan mobile homes located in urban areas in the • 'county (there are about 52 of these including some in rural municipalities)must be located in mobile home parks. In a strict- ly agricultural area, of course, mobile homes are permitted pro- viding the occupants of the mobile home are in agriculturally related. fields. County Planning Director Ga- ry Davidson said that in his view, it would be possible to dispense with the section which demands that mobile homes be on"muni- cipal water and sewerage" but that until more detailed secon- dary plans are prepared reflec- ting local situation, the mobile home park provision is "required for general guidance". "Problems arise from ser- vicing, assessment provisions and visual appearance," said Mr. Davidson. "Only two municipa- lities in .Huron County, Seaforth and Exeter, have effective guide- lines regarding the location and servicing of mobile homes." "Trailers are a big industry in Huron County and don't for- get it," Reeve Jack McCutcheon of Brussels told council. "If it is legal to build these things then it must be legal to put them someplace," stated Reeve Ev. McIlwain, Goderich Township. Reeve Anson McKinley was the staunchest opposition to the strict land use policies which make it difficult to sever a buil- ding lot in a rural area. "If we're. going to have a blan- ket no on non-planned develop- ment in rural areas," said Mc Kinley, "We're going to need tax policy to compensate. The con- cept of preserving agricultural land goes far beyond Huron Coun- ty. Perhaps it would be a good thing if the provincial government was asked to use some of our ideas in this." Reeve McKinley added that in his opinion, it was "discrimina- tion!' against the rural munici- palities , when it was legislated that development could only occur in the urban areas. He felt the UDIRA study might have some answers, but he urged council to "take it to governmentV Mr. Davidson said that since the Land Division Committee came into being in August 1971, it has rendered 330 final decisions on applications. US E POST WANT-ADS DIAL 887-6641 "Of theie 8'7 percent or 286 were approved, 12 percent or 39 were denied and one per- cent were withdrawn," he reported, "Much of the dis- cussion, therefore, revolves around the denial of 39 appli- cations. of these about two- thirds involved site problems such as poor soils, access, flood- ing etc. Only 11, about three percent, were denied strictly on grounds of location, that is, scat- tered development or ribbon de- velopment." "While the severance pro- cedure tends to be the most visi- ble, the subdivision process is by far the most active," con- tinued Davidson. "In approxi- mately the same period, the Plan- Mrs. George Bridge is a patient in Wingham and District Hospital where she underwent surgery on Friday of last week.

"The main difficulties in the Land Division Policy section would appear to be centered around the creation of non- farming residen ces in rural areas," said Davidson. "The Draft Plan reflects provincial policy in this area and no at- tempt was undertaken during the preparation of the Plan to re- search this topic in an extensive manner." Mrs. C. Barrett of Wingham and Wilfred Pegelow were re- cent visitors with their brother C. J. Pegelow and Mrs. Pegelow.

AlreadY an estimated 16 million people in the United States suffer from some degree of hearing loss directly caused by noise. Such hearing loss, in fact, is a major cause of industrial injury. Com- pensation to its•virtims annually runs into millions of dollars. The danger from noise is very real.
