Voice opposition to
urban designation
A proposal by Norm
Whiting who resides just
outside of Exeter to have his
property whith is presently
designated restricted
agriculture, changed to
urban was opposed by two
parties.
Penfold said a letter from
Alcantuc Farms 'of
Thamesford operators of the
hog operation which is east
of the Whiting property, said
a change to urban would '
restrict any expansion of
their operation.
Larry Shapton of R.R. 1.
Exeter said the change
would place his buildings
within the restricted
agricultural area. .
He asked Hay council to
determine if there was a
need for urban expansion in,
that area of the towp,ship
' considering the close
proximity of Exeter.
Shapton requested council to
determine how much of his
property would be in the'
restricted agriculture area if
the change was approved.
Whiting told the meeting
the land in question has room
for five or six residential lots
and is not agriculturally
viable as the property ;
contains no top soil.

Hay township council will
have some tough decisions to
make following the final
public meeting held Friday
to discuss • changes to the
proposed Hay township
secondary plan.
Well over 100 people
jammed the Hay township
hall in Zurich for over three
hours to hear the objections
and support for six major
changes in the land ' use
designations for the plan.
What seemed to emerge
from the meeting was h
feeling by the members of
the farming community that
changes in certain areas
along the west side of High-.
way 21 from restricted
agriculture to recreational
would see a larger area of
the farms on the east side of
the highway fall into the
restricted agricultural
designation.
A proposal by Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Cohen for a
change in land use
designation which would
allow for the expansion of
their trailer park was bit-
terly opposed by two neigh-
bouring farmers.
Huron county planner
George Penfold told the
meeting ' the change from
restricted agricultural to
recreational would allow for
an additional 100 sites for the
park at-St. Joseph.
Penfold said an earlier
meeting had shown concern
for the servicing of the
property an increased use of
the beach and problems
associated with drainage. As
a solution to the increased
beach traffic Ppnfold said
the Cohens had indicated
they would construct a
swimming pool midway
through the proposed, ex-
pansion.
Mrs. Cohen told the
meeting that when the
property was purchased 15
years ago it was agreed by
the council of the time that
all of the land would be used
for a trailer park develop-
ment. At present, only the
lake front portion of the
property, has seen any
development. The
remainder of the land has
been rented out to area
farmers.
A reading of the minutes
by Penfold passed by council
15 years ago gave no in-
' dication of what portion of
the land was to be used as a
trailer park.
Mrs. Cohen said the- ex-
pansion would have its own
water system and that a fire
hydrant would be installed.
Reacting to comments
about the increased use of
the beach, she said the beach
area was public.
Vehemently Ipposed to the
land use designation change
was farmer Rosaire Bedard
of R.R. 2 Zurich who said the
land should be maintained
for agricultural use. An
addition to the 'trailer park
would further restrict the
use of his land and to a round
of applause from farmers
and cottagers surrounding
the Cohen property he said
council,should not consider a
trailer park "at all."
Farmer Bernie Denomme
voiced his opposition to the
land use change, saying the
development would "cause
more problems."
Mike Rau of Dashwood
who owns property south of
the trailer park said any
further expansion would
devalue his property.
When John Lindsay of the
Cohen trailer park presented
a petition to meeting
chairman Deputy-reeve
Lloyd Mousseau signed by
Zurich merchants sup-
porting the development, a
chorus of "boos" was heard.
One of the persons opposing
the development said the
members of the farming
community could come up
with the same type of sup-
port front the Zurich mer-
chants.
Hay facing tough decisiont
Apposed to seasonal
trailer park
There was also plenty of
opposition to a proposal by
John Paul Ducharme to
develop a wooded area one
mile west of the lake front
into a seasonal trailer park.
This development requires a
change in designation from
natural environment to
recreational.
Leading the opposition
forces was John Vander
Burght of R.R. 1 Dashwood
who said the Hay plan should
be very concerned about the
maintenance of the family
farm.
Taking his father's farm
as an example Vander
Burght said the cottage
development along the
,lakeshore places • a
significant amount of their
farm in a restricted
agricultural zone and that
the development by
Ducharme would impose
further' restrictions on their
property.
He said he was not opposed
to the idea of a- seasonal
trailer park but questioned
its location.
Expressing concerns about
the long term effect in Hay if
the land, use designation
was approved a Vander
Burght stated "I think its
just like a petal thrown in the
water; the ripples will
spread throughout."
Both Lloyd Willert and Joe
Miller of the local chapter of
the National Farmers Union
said the wildlife and water
holding areas in the township
should be kept.
Speaking on behalf of
Ducharme was planning
consultant Sergio Pompilli
who said there was need for
this type of development
within the area, He stated
both the Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority and
Huron county development
officer Spence Cummings
were in favour of the park.
Pompilli agreed that
Vander Burght's concerns
were valid and suggested
that something could be
worked out.
Vander Burght continued
his criticism of the
development following a
statement by Pompelli that a
few trees would have to be
removed in the 35 acre site
for campsites and roads.
The University of Guelph
student said Ducharme
would be allowed to remove
trees for the campground but
that farmers could not ex-
pand their agricultural land
by removing trees from their
wood lots. This statement
met with immediate ap-
plause from the members of
the agricultural community.
John Elder 'whose farm is
beside Vander -Burght's
questioned the feasibility of
a park which was so
removed from the lake. In
reply to a query .from
Mousseau, Elder said he
would like to see that type of
developmentinthe bush areas
on the west side of Highway
21.
Pompilli said while he
could understand their
concerns the denial of ap-
proval for the seasonal
trailer park could in the long
run, place a damper on the
recreation industry in the
township.
of the agricultural property.

suggested that properties in
the area have their

need arose.
