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.
