The application pertained to part of lot 28, Front Concession on which Mr. Laplante requested a change from restricted agriculture (AG2) to agricultural small holding - special (AG4-6) to permit a residential use. Scott Tousaw, Huron County planner, indicated that the AG4-6 zone recognizes that the property is accessed via an existing registered right-of-way and requires that any building or structure be located within the easterly 22 m of the lot. No objections to the application had been received and • council subsequently passed a bylaw amen- ding the zoning to AG4-6 as re- quested. Discussiontook place on chan- ging the zoning on part of Lot 1, Front Concession STP. These lands, owned by Jim Martin, were granted consent for severance to be merged on title with the adjacent lots to the � north. A condition of the severance was that the land be zoned to natural environment. This proposed bylaw change was previously included in the erosion risk limit bylaw for which full OUNCIL NEWS Ashfield Township .circulation and two public meetings were 'held. Owners of the abutting lots to the north were notified of the consideration of the bylaw. flaying met the requirements of the Planning Act council passed a bylaw to zone the property in ques- tion as natural environment. Erosion risk ,limit Mr. Tousaw reviewed the status of the proposed bylaw regulating the setback from the top -of -bank (100 year erosion risk limit). Two public meetings had been held to inform land owners of the rationale and background to the. proposed setback line. Despite a better understanding of the bylaw, the public continued to raise con- siderable objection to its passing, partly because of the bylaw's affect on individual properties, but also because of the perception that the bylaw amounts to over -regulation. Mr. Ts wnil ou a informed council that the Ministry of Natural Resources is developing a draft policy statement entitled `Great Lakes - St. Lawrence River Flood and Erosion Policy Statement". He recom- •turn to page 5 Awards several tenders Kinloss Township council was kept busy awarding tenders during its Apr. 5 meeting. Da -Lee was awarded the tender to supply and apply approximately 150 flake tonnes of calcium chloride at the price of $110.42 per flake tonne: Joe Kerr Construction received the tender for loading, hauling and spreading approximately 25,000 cubic yards of pit run gravel on the 6th Concession east, at the rate of .59 cents per cubic yard for the first kilometer and .09 cents per cubic yard for each kilometer thereafter.', Donegans Haulage was awarded the tender to crush, haui and spread, ' approximately 28,000 cubic yards of "A" gravel .on township roads at $2.09 'pet" cubic yard, and to crush and stockpile at the pit for $1.30 per cubic yard. Ratepayers' private roads .will cost $3.75 percubic yard. CKinloss Township OUNCIL NEWS mow The township's pasture land was rented to Lloyd Graham for the sum , of $3,000' as per the agreement, with no waivers. • The clerk was instructed to pur- chase 1,000 Kinloss Township lapel pins• (3/4 inch) from Cowan Prin- ting at a cost of .985 cents each. Six building, permits . were received and approved subject to the consent of the buildin'g inspec- tor and the health unit. ' Assessment on the Ray Cunnin- gham property was reduced due to the residencebeing razed by fire. Council agreed to donate $375 for 1993 to the Wingham and District Community Living Association. •turn to page 5 Trustee Don Stobo disagreed .from page 1 rate , hike would have taken $350,000 less from reserves, and called it "manipulation of board funds" to dip so heavily into reser- ves to reach the zero per cent increase. "The public asked Lis for a way to come in with zero," Mackay said. "I can't in conscience ask taxpayers or-mone_}Ljust in_ case_we ae d Trustee Ray Fenton agreed that the reserves, which include surpluses from previous years, are meant to help out when funds ate tight: "We knew tough times were coming," • he said, in reference to use of the reserves and the "fair amount" of surplus from 1992 that went into that fund. In what is becoming a familiar refrain, the trustees blamed declining provincial grants for much of their budget problems. A promised two per cent grant hike turned into a threatened two per cent cut, but in the end resulted in a 1.7 per cent decline in provincial funding. That translates as $607,000 less than last year. Debenture interest payments of over $1 million a year are also hurting the board, and Mackay said that figure has to slow down. "We're not likely to issue any (debentures) in '93", he said.. "It's proven that borrowing doesn't work for the federal or provincial government, and it won't likely work for us." Martindale said it is the second year in a row that staffing has been reduced for the board, which is now facing what could .be a decline in. enrollment after several years of growth. He agreed with trustees that the board is in a "time of uncertain- ty",and suggested provincial grants could be down as much as four per cent next year compared to this year's 1.7 per "cent. • Teachers will consider their options •from page 1 Inglis also believes relations bet- ween the two sides are not bad. "Relations are certainly better than what the factfinder led everyone to believe," he said. Ciavaglia said teachers are now considering their options, and will likely discuss the situation with the federation executive. "I don't think we have public sympathy," Ciavaglia said about efforts to protect jobs, salaries and working conditions, "but we' have to look after ourselves." The board says all but one of the issues still on the table are money - related. The 290 secondary teachers have been without a contract since Sep- tember of fast year.
