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 Scott ('ronin. Karrie Mc('linchey. Kim Medd. Jennifer Roulston and Lisa Watson.
