The proposed zoning by-law -amendment would •change the zoning on approximately 4 hectares (10 acres) of land described as Part of Block 'F', Registered Plan 2 and Parts 1,2,3,4 and 6, Plan 25R1747 located North of Lake Road and west of Alberta Street (as shown below) from "Development (D) zone” to a "Multiple Family. Residential (R3)' zoning. The proposed zoning will permit the majority of the site (Blocks A, B, and C) to be used for multiple family residential development in the form of town- houses (approximately 29 units) cluster houses (approximately 12 units), and a seven (7) storey apartment building (approxi- mately 90 units). In addition, a small commercial development is proposed for the northeast corner of, the property (Block D). This commercial site would permit a boating club, restaurant and retail store selling marine merchandise. Block 'E', along Ablerta Street, is proposed for public open space arid parkland to be left in its natural state. It is proposed to phase the development through the use of holding zones. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make writ- ten or oral representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed zoning by-law amendment.

That was the decision after a meeting held last Wednesday in Seaforth to discuss the system. Area residents at the meeting sug- gested tuming the matter over to municipal councils since most of the costwill fall on municipalities that opt into the system. The num- ber of meetings and dates are not yet known. About 55 people attended the meeting, organized by the Huron and Perth' Emergency Health Servic- es Study and Implementation Com- mittee. Dan Stcyn of Clinton chair- man of the committee, said the attendance was about what was ex- pected. Members of several arca emcrgen- cy services were among the audi- ence, but only a few members of municipal councils were present. "It's been proven time and again. that (the 9.1.1. system) saves lives," Gary Gowland, a customer systems manager with Bell Infor- mation Services, told the audience. And Don Crouchcr, a 9.1.1. sys- tems consultant for the Ontario Po- lice Commission, added, "Don't call it 'nine -eleven' - it's 'nine -one -one." The distinction is important, he said. The system is primarily aimed at the elderly and thc young, and it's less confusing to look for the nu- merals nine and one on the phone dial, said Crouchcr. Young children in particular may waste valuable time trying to find the numeral 11 on the dial. A caller phoning 9.1.1. bypasses the public telephone system and is connected to a central emergency re- porting bureau (CERB), located in the community. Most CERBs are located in police office,s because statistics from other 9.1.1. systems", indicate that about 90 percent of thc Calls go there. At the CERB,. a professionally trained call -taker gets thc location and type of emergency and routes the call or information to the appro- priate agency. Gowland said the advantages of around town on the fiat bed of a truck. Kim Gentner provided musical conducting -and Rev. Duke Vipperman accompanied on guitar. numbers for _ the 9.1.1. system include: • A -number that's easy to remem- ber the caller doesn't have to spend time looking up the police, fire or ambulance number. - • The number is universally rec- ognized across North America. • It's free from pay phones. • it facilitates multiple -agency re- sponse. For example, if ambulanc- es are, needed at a fire, the caller calls the CERB, which notifies both the fire department and ambu- lance. It's easier and faster ,to put the necessary calls through from the CERB than it is for the caller to dial both agencies. in Goderich, for example, the po- lice, fire and ambulance numbers are three different seven -digit num- bers. A frightened resident could waste time looking up the num- bers, dial incorrectly or need more than one emergency service. And while any of the emergency servic- es would call the others, it still in- volves dialling a seven -digit num- ber. With the 9.1.1. system, the emergency services would he hooked up in such a way that, for example, the fire department could call for an . ambulance with "the .. push of a button," said Gowland. The system also has a "bureau --'lio1d'", making it possible to hold and trace the call. Gowland said this is a boon if the person on the other end of the line has hung up before giving important informa- tion, such as the location of the emergency. The call -taker can also use the forced -disconnect option of some- one is tying up the line for no rea- son. The system is, set up to suit the needs of the community it's going into, he said. However, certain conditions must be mcg. A Canadian Radio - television and Telecommunications . Commission (CRTC) regulations requires that the three basic emer- gency services (police, fire and am- bulance) must be offered as part of all 9.1.1.1 systems: Other services such as gas and hydro hotlines, do- mestic violence crisis lines and public works departments may also come on line. Also, as many communities as Presents plaque - New Grand Bend reeve Bob Sharen, Left, presents a plaque to Prosper Van Bruaene for his 35 years of service on the village fire department.

Be- sides reducing confusion among residents this will help reduce costs. "It's not an all -or -nothing propo- sal, but look at the whole region (Huron -Perth) now, and if that's not feasible then look at what is," Croucher said. - In answer to a .question, Steyn said that if the two counties want to opt into the system separately it was "fair enough, but it's feasible to do it together." Municipal responsibilities would include establishing a task force and determining: • The geographic area to he served; • The number and types of emer- gency agencies to be included and their jurisdications; • The location of the CERB; • • The boundaries of the telephone company's Central Ofticcs and how boundary conflict -areas' will be served; • . • Whether access to -the CERB will be provided to deaf and hearing impaired residents -though the; in- stallation of a Telephone Device for the Deal ("I'iD[)). . _ The municipality i.s .also- r spun.- sihle for putting forward an effec- tive public education campaign to let residents know about the new system. . Once the above issues are dealt with, Bell Canada develops a de- tailed proposal and provides prelim- inary costs. Bell docs the engineer- ing, installation, repair, administration and training on equipment provided by the compa- ny. Bell also ad%'ertises the new si.s- tem through a telephone hill insert to every telephone subscriber in the community that is coming online. A full-page advertisement will ap-• pear. in the telephone director' for the first year after the systcin is op- erating. Many communities hack out after hearing rumors of costs, Crouchcr said. It's discouraging to hear about PINERY communities saying they can't af- ford the system, when they haven't priced it," he said, adding that costs. that appear high "are often used on • inllateo notions of the number of staff needed (at the CERB)." He could not give any estimate of what the systcin might cost Huron-. Perth.
