The firm, which has had

solution to the problem of
pang. After advice from
planner Janet Smolders, the
board made a recommenda-
tion to council that; based on
parking problems in the
downtown core area, proper-
ty owners on Main Street,
when the need arises, apply to
the committee of adjustment
for a minor varience from
parking bylaw provisions and
that the owners be requested
to pay 50 percent of the total
cost per municipal parking
space (;150) for each parking
space in varience of the bylaw
requirement.
For Knapp to expand, ac-
cording to the bylaw, the com-
pany would have needed to
provide over 30 parking
spaces. .
Chamber of Commerce
member, Ellwood Lemon met
with the group to look at the
parking problem. He said that
the chamber would like to see
a long range plan for the
development of the commer-
•
cial area and that the
chamber was willing to
cooperate in any way. A
special meeting was arrang-
ed for September 13 with
council, planning board and
chamber. Smolders stressed
the importance of the
chamber's involvement.
The resignation of planning
board member Mel Douglas
was accepted with regret at
the meeting. Dr. Robert Cloy,
who has chaired the board for
the past year, said he wished
to step down from the chair at
the first of next year.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS AND
RATEPAYERS OF THE
VILLAGE OF GRAND BEND
Public Meeting on Proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Official Plan
for the Grand Bend Planning Area.
The Planning Board and Council of the Village of Grand Bend invite
village residents and ratepayers to attend this meeting.
DATE: September 17, 1982
TIME: 7:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Village of Grand Bend Municipal Office,
Main Street, Village of Grand Bend
PURPOSE: The purpose of this meeting is to present a draft of
the proposed official plan, amendment and to give
Village residents and ratepayers an opportunity to
review the proposed amendment,raise questions, make
comments or to make written submissions on the
proposed amendment. Copies of the proposed amend-
\ ment will be available at the public meeting.
BACKGROUND: The existing "Environmental Protection"designation
of the Official Plan for the Grand Bend Planning Area is based on
the floodplain limits of the Ausable River and Lake Huron. These
limits were identified by Paragon Engineering Ltd. In ,"Cut Secon-
dary Plan, Engineering Study, Township of Bosanquet", December
5, 1979. fn January 1981, MacLaren Engineers, Planners and Scien-
tists completed a study entitled "Hydrology /Hydraulic Review of
Grand Bend and Port Franks" for the Ausable Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority. This study reviewed the hydrologic 'hydraulic aspects
of the Paragon Study and, as a result of the review, the limits of
the floodplain in the Village were substantially reduced.
The purpose of Amendment No. 2, therefore, is to remove the "En-
vironmental Protection" designation from the many properties which
are no longer located in the floodplain and to redesignate them for
other land uses. Amendment No. 2 generally applies to land abut-
ting the Ausable River and Lake Huron in the.Village of Grand Bend.
It also applies to a portion of the "old bed" of the Ausable River
between Lake Road and the Village limits.
Planning Board and Council will review all comments received dur-
ing and after the public meeting. Further changes may be made
to the proposed amendment as a result of the public meeting before
it is adopted by Council.
If you have any questions regarding the public meeting, please do
not hesitate to call:
