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.

"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-

ning Board recommended ap-
proval of subdivisions creating
some 373 new lots, two sub-
divisions comprising 57 lots were
recommended for denial, and
subdivisions encompassing 188
lots are under active considera-
tion."
"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."

Unless controlled, noise
pollution will exact an in-
creasingly heavy toll on society.
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.
