Tigers top-seed for tourney Rona Hodgins Lumber variance, expansion approved Rona J.E Hodgins Lumber north of Wingham has Morris-Turnberry Council’s support for a proposed expansion after answering a few questions about the project during a recent council meeting. At Morris-Turnberry Council’s July 16 meeting, council approved a zoning bylaw amendment that will allow the hardware store to build a new supply warehouse. The changes to the site required reductions in maximum lot coverage, required landscaped open space and reduced number of minimum required parking. Council followed the recommendation of Huron County Planner Jenn Burns to approve the change. According to Burns’ report, the lot coverage for the site was set at 25 per cent, but needed to be increased to a maximum of 28 per cent. The required landscaping for the lot would normally be 20 per cent, but under the new plan, would only hit 11.6 per cent and the required parking for the lot would be 290, but was reduced to 78 spaces. The parking spaces were addressed specifically in Burns’ report. She stated that, because the majority of traffic at the business is contractors and deliveries, the reduction, while significant, should not negatively impact the business or neighbouring properties. “As an existing business, the owners have knowledge of the required number of parking spaces and what the expected increased demand will be,” she said. A neighbour of the property asked what impact the construction would have on drainage and an engineer for the project said drainage would actually improve under the plan. Currently, the property drains overland, but, with the new plan, there would be drainage towards a municipal drain, drastically improving surface water control. Council approved the bylaw, which amends the existing plan, allowing the development to take place.

The O’Reilly family will then be transported to the Goderich YMCA where pictures will again be taken until 3:30 p.m. Due to the brief nature of the stay, O’Reilly has told his fans and supporters that he will not be signing any autographs on July 25 to ensure that residents can spend as much time as possible with him and the cup. He has, instead, pledged to return later this summer for another day so he can sign autographs for everyone. En route to winning the Conn Smythe Trophy, O’Reilly scored eight goals and 15 assists in 26 playoff games for the Blues on the way to their Cup win in game seven of the finals over the Boston Bruins. This came after another stellar season for O’Reilly in which he scored 28 goals and 49 assists, playing in all of his team’s 82 games.

The drive happened to coincide with a visit by members of Lions International Youth Exchange, adding some extra muscle to the Leos’ regular volunteers.
