Charm, Q.C., hear other objections. Tuesday morning, Lloyd Fogler, solicitor for Hawleaf, moved for a non suit in respect to the zoning Developer Jerry Sprack- man failed in his bid, Wed- nesday, to .reach a . com- promise over the northend shopping centre and alleviate taking the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board hearing which commenced at the town offices, Monday. He and his lawyer, Jeff Goldenberg, appeared before a joint meeting of the planning board and council to present their arguments for reaching a settlement prior to the board hearing. Goldenberg said in reviewing the matter they 'came to the conclusion that it would be a waste of their time and money, as well as the town's, to argue the matter before the OMB, Hawleaf Developments Ltd. would be prepared to drop their objection with the OMB and current litigation against the town in return for having the shopping centre zoned general commercial and the adjoining development land zoned as highway commercial. In addition, Sprackman said he wanted the right to divide the existing building into whatever configuration required by prospective tenants. He said Exeter was the only place in which he owns a shopping centre that he is unable to divide the struc- ture any way he wishes and said he couldn't understand that situation or why he was being treated differently than other developers in the community. As part of the compromise, he said his firm would be willing to give an un- dertaking that the super- market space will always be used by a supermarket, "I appeal to your common sense," he said, "I want to be of the property which relates to the existing. shopping -centre, which his client wants zoned .as general commercial. In the new Plan, it is glassed, mostly in highway commercial and the, balance of the property is, designated, as industrial, Fogler said. they were. objecting to the industrial designation as well, but not moving to a non-suit situation in that regard, °In no stretch of proper planning can the property be down-zoned," he said in reference to the highway commercial designation of the shopping centre. He cited supermarket remain and not be replaced by a junior department store, Mitchell said he didn't see that as a great risk. It wad indicated that, Zehrs have a 20-year lease with Hawleaf. Sprackman then asked council to consider reviewing the list of ap- proved uses for the highway commercial designation, noting it did not give him many alternatives in the type of stores that could be housed the shopping centre. The meeting was briefly closed again for a private discussion and when he returned, Sprackman was told by Merner that the two bodies didn't see where going through the list would solve anyone's problems and that matter should be coh- sidered closed. "We'll, let the board decide," Sprackman said as he left the meeting. REFUSE BID Exeter council apparently turned down a bid to reach a compromise Monday night over the objection to the new official plan and zoning bylaw by Hawleaf Developments Limited. Prior to their meeting, council learned that Gary Davidson would be attending the session. Word was that the lawyers for the town and Hawleaf had discussed the matter after the OMB hearing opened on Monday and had reached a suggested compromise. The discussion between council and Davidson was held behind closed doors, but it was apparently 'a bid to have some new uses ap- proved for the Hawleaf property in return for Hawleaf dropping current litigation against the town, been .Chatiged to something less than previously allewed and said he saw no, such. downgrading.. Fogler then argued again that the, shopping ceatre should have been placed in a Cl designation, the same as. the downtown core area, After the arguments, the two OMB officials retired briefly to consider the ap- plication for a non-suit and. then returned to ,say they were reserving their judgement. The Hawleaf solicitors. then called on urban planner William J. Dolan to get his opinions on the local official plan and zoning bylaw, • He explained that the official plan permits a shopping centre in the high- way commercial designation and said it would haVe been good planning to recognize this fact in the zoning bylaw. In his testimony, Davidson had said the permitted use of a shopping centre ,in the highway commercia list in the official plan was actually there in error, Board member, Charron said he was astounded that such a situation could exist in the documents and it DONALD PENNINGA At University Hospital, London on Thursday, August 14, 1980, Donald Penninga of Exeter in his 51st year.

Dolan said it was not good planning to designate the property as highway com- mercial when a shopping centre is not permitted hi such an area and added that it was not good planning to. run a designation line ,through an existing building which is the case as the east portion of the facility is zened as industrial, He told the board it should be in the Cl zoning category and this should include the entire building and the parking area at a minimum. It was also his suggestion it Gould have been given status zoning in the official plan or a separate zoning classification. Dolan was to be quizzed by Mitchell' regarding his opinions in the Tuesday • afternoon session .after this presfi report WaS. prepared:, In his testimony on. Monday,. Davidson , said. the. official plan. policies. were structured to. protect the core and at the same time allow large space users to-_ locate outside.tbe core area, He said these goals . were being .achieved nicely as. evidenced by the 'nu- Prevenient in the ap pearance and the growth of commercial establishments. in the core area, ,Davidson said he and the Exeter planning board had recommended that the high- way commercial designation be placed on all the Hay/leaf land, but thiS.had been turned down. by ' council, In his testimony, the minty planner said he disagreed that the property had been down-zoned, A question was raised as to the availability of land for a proposed new location for. Canadian Tire and Davidson said land was available north of Algaonla Tire, but Fogler contended there was not enough land for an ex- panded Canadian. Tire Store 'anywhere in the community, Fogler said the intent of the documents to give large floor space users a location outside the core area was "really hollow talk". should, make an effort to attend portions of the hearing -into the town's new official plan and zoning bylaw. "It's part of the job," she opined. "Those with time will attend and those who don't, won't," countered Deputy- Reeve Harold Patterson. No members of the local planning board were in at- tendance at the hearing on Monday either and they couldn't raise a quorum for last week's special meeting when developer Jerry Sprackman attempted to reach a compromise with council and the planning board to avoid the costs and time of a lengthy OMB hearing., continues earin into north end develo treated as any other citizen," Mike Mitchell, on hand as the town's solicitor, told the developer there had never been a case where town council had refused to permit him to. divide the building as he -wished. The Stratford lawyer did suggest that chinges had been started in . the past without the proper building permits and payment of fees. He also refuted Sprack- man's suggestion that he had been refused permission to meet with council. While agreeing that the developer had not always received_ what he wanted from council, Mitchell suggested council had always treated him reasonably. At this point, planning board chairman Gerald Merner closed the meeting to discuss the matter in private with .council, Mitchell and Huron County planning department head Gary Davidson, Shortly after, when Sprackman and his lawyer were called back to the meeting, Mitchell said it was the decision of council to not accept the compromise and to proceed to have the matter heard by the Ontario Municipal Board. He advised the developer council were concerned about the core aritrwere not prepared to designate the shopping centre as general commercial. He said council would give a good hearing to any proposal to. divide the centre in any manner requested but that there would always be the question of the use being made of the space. Saying that he had to assess the risk involved in not accepting the un- dertaking to have the two Supreme Court nilings and one OMB ruling to substantiate his arguments.. However, Mike Mitchell, representing the town, said there was no evidence that the proPerly had been down- zoned by the town in the new documents. He Pointed to the fact the current uses in the shopping centre conformed to both the old and new bylaws and noted that Huron County - planning director, Gary Davidson, had testified that it was good planning. Mitchell emphasized that for down-grading there must be evidence that the uses had Sprackman loses bid for a final compromise Councillor *Lossy Fuller has expressed concern over the fact few members of council were on hand when the Ontario Municipal Board hearing opened in Exeter, Monday. Mrs, Fuller attended- the. session and the only other • member•on hand was Mayor Derry Boyle, who made a brief appearance. He left the meeting after lighting up a cigarette and was advised by the chairman, Miss Dorothy McItobb, that smoking was not permitted. "We were really proud of him," Mrs. Fuller com- mented in reference to the' Mayor. She added that memberd CorOy two on hand
