The resolution came after an East Wawanosh landowner ex­ plained that farmers in the area could be adversely effected by the proposed rezoning of a parcel of land on concession 14 of East W'awanosh, beside the Maitland River from Natural Environment to Recreation to accommodate a motor home park. Jerry Jaretzke pointed out that recreation land must be surrounded by a 2000 foot buffer zone from farm buildings and this will put many adjoining opposes E. Wawanosh rezoning farmlands into a restricted agricul­ ture zone instead of an agriculture zone. Such a change would mean that such farm practices as the establishment or expansion of live­ stock operations would be restrict­ ed. Mr. Jaretzke said such restric­ tions were unfair to farmers and it shouldn’t be up to the farmer to Swimming accident close call for Blyth girl What could have been a fatal mishap last Friday at Vanastra Community Centre Pool was avoid­ ed by the quick thinking of a Londesboro girl, a lifeguard and a teacher.
