Strang said that installing a storm drain would "be peanuts" in comparison to enlarging or twinning the Beaver drain. County planning director Gary Davidson said the site had alwyas been zoned as in- dustrial. whereas the pre- sent Laidlaw property is given status zoning as a non- conforming use in a com- mercial zone. He said the intent of the zoning bylaw approved by the OMB in 1980 was to provide Exeter with an in- dustrial base with controls over development to ensure minimum pressure on providing services.

He indicated support was be- ing received from other sources. He said union members employed in supermarkets who have a "hot cargo" clause in their contract will be refusing to handle Aylmer DelMonte products when current in-store supplies are used up. "We may be effective there," the union president said in reference to the availability of company products at some retail levels. that drivers in a transport would be sitting higher than he was at the time he took the pictures and would have an even better vision of traf- fic. There would be no trucks backing on to a highway as now happens. He reported that the firm planned an 8,000 square foot garage, a 4,000 square foot dock and office facility and parking space for 250 highway trailers. In answer to a question from Veri, Scott said the 14 acres (seven in Exeter and seven in Usborne) would give the firm much more land than they presently have. Veri aruged the land aize was not much more than the firm presently operates from. The local developer also suggested it wouldn't be beneficial for the firm to move out of the Exeter area and Scott replied that he doesn't make those decisions.

Commenting on the traffic hazard as outlined, the lawyer said this concern was adequately answered by the MTC issuing a permit for the entrance. He said the application represented a classic situa- tion where the zoning bylaw has worked in prompting the industry to move to a more advantageous location and the old site can be put back into the zoning process in a more compatible way. Exeter court Continued from front page which to pay the fine and Park was given 90 days. In the only other case on Tuesday's docket, Wayne Robert Peters, Hensall, was fined $78 on a charge of fail- ing to report damage to property. The charge arose from an incident in Zurich on May 24 when his vehicle collided with a hydro pole. Damage to the vehicle was listed at $500 and the cost of replacing the transformer was estimated at $2,500. There were no injuries. The court learned that Peters had previous convic- tions of a minor nature. He was given 15 days to pay the fine. Have you had your Cookie of the Week?
