HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1982-05-05, Page 23Criticizes `Wawanosh secondary plan Dear. Editor: 'If residents • of East Wawanosh 'Township would like to take a second look at the .:Township sof East. Wawanoslr draft secondary plan, just take a pen .and underline all the "will be allowed", "will not be allow- ed", allowed", "must . be", "must be used", "may be permitted", "will be. monitored", These phrases . occur all the way through. Think about it. Do you want to be told how to live, .'what to do with your land and your life from now on? Once this plan. goes through (no matter what. some smooth talking fellow tells you), it is here to stay, and you will .'no longer be a "free" resident of East Wawanosh Township. The following are a 'few quotes. from this plandraft and a few comments. Yon will find every quote in this draft plan. Quote - "you may submit your opinion" Comment - This was ` done at frequent meetings and they just "went ahead anyway. Quote - "existing. small holdings may be permitted to be used for. residential purposes" Comment - Why permit-. ted? Is this not a democracy?` Quote "administer and plan for. Township of . East Wawanosh under powers conferred upon them" Comment - Who conferred these powers on them? Cer- tainly not the residents who are now in danger of losing their rights tolive as they want to, notas they are told to. Quote -, "East Wawanosh Township is a solid pro- sperousagricultural com- munity" ommunity" Comment - True.: So why try to change it? Quote "Positive steps must be taken to guarantee the future" ' \', Comment - If you can do this, perhaps Mr. Trudeau would step down and you can take bis place. Quote "basic ' principle of Secondary ,Plan to promote agriculturaldevelopment and prevent land uses which are not" Comment - Why not credit us with a few brains and let us govern our own lives or will you allow us the same in- terference in • your way of life? Quote . "recreational resource - It is not the intent of the plan to introduce or promote private ' recrea- tional development" Comment - In other words r if you have potential private recreational facilities you would like to use, forget it the plan does not permit it. Quote - 'farming is a way of life in East Wawanosh. In Planning Workshoppro- gram desire to continue way of life expressed strongly and positively." Comment - True - .but no desire was expressed to be ordered, permitted, allowed todo it in the manner in which someone else dictates. Quote - "clearing will not be allowed" = "drainage shall be discouraged" - per- manent structures of any type will.not be permitted" , Comment - There are those phrases again telling uswe cannot do it. It really doesn't seem to matter to these planers of our future as East Wawanosh Township residents. The farmer is hav- ing aving a rough enough time try- ing to make ends meet and mightneed to dram land or clear an area to augment his income. Why should they care? They pick up their pay cheques regularly and if the farmer can't exist - so what. - he was getting too fat and prosperous anyway. Quote - "areas of privately owned natural environment will remain part of larger farm holding" Comment Aren't , they nice? They allow us to keep our own land. Quote - "Plan shall be im- plemented through the local municipal capital works pro- gram" Comment - In other words they securetheir jobs and their. pay cheques if the plan goes through. Quote - "land affected may revert to a use in conformity with theintent of the Official Plan" • Comment - Here again - we will be told what to do. Quote - "participation of general public deemed crucial" Comment - Very easily said, but they listen and go ahead with the plan anyway. It, doesn't . seem to matter what people say unless they are saying what the planning board wishes to hear. Quote - "E.W. Council may pass • by laws" - re: cleanlinessbuildings, main- taining yards, ;buildings, fences, etc. Comment Just another example how thiswill affect. each and every resident of East Wawanosh Township.
