Get extension on
Hay development
Exeter council have been unsuc-
cessful in attempts to have a•freeze
placed on development in Hay
Township until a zoning bylaw is
approved.
Responding to Exeter's recent re-
quest in that regard, the ministry of
municipal affairs advised that a six-
month extension has been granted to
a plan of subdivision for the Huron
Farms agri-industrial park.
Exeter council have been unsuc-
cessful in attempts to have a freeze
placed on development in Hay
Township until a zoning bylaw is
approved.
Responding to Exeter's recent re-
quest in that regard, the ministry of
municipal affairs advised that a six-
month extension has been granted to
a plan of subdivision fbr the Huron
farms agri-industrial park.
The ministry explained that the On-
tario Municipal Board's decision to
uphold an appeal by Exeter was bas-
ed on the policies set out in the Food
Land Guidelines "and not with
respect to its conformity to the
township's official plan."
"The board's decision, therefore,
does not preclude the township from
documenting the need for the use of
the subject lands and adopting a new
zoning bylaw to implement the sub-
ject plan of subdivisions," the letter
continued.
The ministry assured Exeter that
consideration to the Food Land
Guidelines and the decision of the
OMB will be given in reviewing the
matter further at a future date at the
request of the township. -
Exeter council this week also
received answers to questions posed,
to the Huron planning and develop-
ment department over the latter's in-
volvement in the proposed Hay pro-
ject and the subsequent OMB hearing
that was held over Exeter's objection.
The town had requested .informa-
tion on the following issues: (1) con-
sultation to eliminate the Hay -Exeter
hearing; (2) costs of the hearing and
their payment; and, (3) department
policy on reducing intermunicipal
conflict.
The department letter noted that
the hearing in question concerned a
zoning bylaw implementing draft ap-
proval of a plan of subdivision is not
the responsibility of the county,
rather the ministry of municipal
affairs.
The department brought the sub-
division to the attention of Exeter of-
ficials and the report on the subdivi-
sion was circulated to all county coun-
cillors in 1982.
Exeter did not object to the plan of
subdivision and the objection was on-
ly received on the zoning bylaw.
The letter indicated the planning
department policy ,regarding poten-
tial conflicts between municipalities
is to provide information on the mat-
ter and to advise the municipalities to•
attempt to resolve their objections
through negotiations. In this situation,
the department explained, both were
done.
However, the department letter
4 continued, "the resolution of the dif-
ferences is not something that the
department can require."
Regarding costs, it was noted that
the department personnel's time was
costed at $2,584.03, with $2,169.13 be-
ing associated with the hearing itself.
"I would contend that even had the
department not supported Hay"
it would have been subpoenaed to at-
tend and their (sic) would have been
some preparation required in any
event," director Dr. Gary Davidson
wrote.
He refuted Exeter's claim that
there was an error of omission o'h the
department's account by not pr
