Sounds quite innocuous, doesn't it? There is an existing, long used mechanism in the cur- rent Zoning By-law that can be fairly and legally used to address such "snags." Before I elaborate, it is important to state that the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By law amendment related to the "Post Office" property are logical and have my full sup- port. Section 3.8 has touched many of the property owners of Seaforth. When the owner of a specific property seeks relief from some particular requirement of the Zoning By-law, that owner applies for a Minor Variance. Said owner is obligated to provide all of the information set out in Section 3.8 and the neigh- bouring property owners arc sent copies of the documents detailing the exact variance requested. Public input is fairly sought. The proposed amendment for Section 3.8 replaces "shall be accompanied by a plan" with "may be required to be accompanied by a plan." This "may be" will be part of the Zoning By-law. Section 3.8 will be effective- ly waived when no plan is required. No criteria is given for discriminating between those developers who will meet the plan requirement and those who won't. We don't know for which proper- ties crucial information will be permitted to be withheld from the public. This letter docs not express all of my concerns about the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments. In any case, it is doubtful that one individ- ual can analyze the over- whelming group of "general" amendments with which we are confronted. You may want to stop off at the 'Ibwn office and get a copy of the Draft of the Amendments. Don't forget, if you don't Intervene now, you lose your right to do so. 1 appeal to the Mayor, to the Town Council of Seaforth and to the Council's Planning Advisory Committee to dis- card this group of amend - McLaughlin Chev-Olds Ltd. 13 Main St. Seaforth. 527-1140 'Service 'Selection 'Savings •Satisfaction 'Leasing 'Complete BODY SHOP Service PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURNS One Fee: $20.00 Call PETER STILES 4 John St. BAYFIELD 1-888-8338-008 ments and use the existing Section 3.8 to fairly deal with "snags" and "problems.
