Exeter proposes, Hay opposes
Members of Hay township council
were unanimous in their decision not
to support a resolution passed recent-
ly by Exeter council that represen-
tatives of the developer, Huron
Farms Ltd., be excluded from a com-.
mittee being set up to conduct a needs
study as required by the Ontario
Municipal Board. Under the terms of
an earlier agreement, the committee
was to be composed of six members,
two each from Hay, Exeter and the
developer.
The needs study was requested by
the OMB as a result of a hearing of
an appeal by Exeter of a proposed
zoning change to allow development
of an agri-industrial park in Hay
township close to the town's northern
boundary. ,
Deputy Reeve Claire Deichert, who
chaired the meeting in the absence of
Reeve Lionel Wilder, said Exeter
councillors had changed their minds
since a February meeting among
Wilder, Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw,
Reeve Bill Mickle, Deputy Reeve
Lossy Fuller. Huron county's chief
planner Dr. Gary Davidson and
representatives from Huron Farms
had resulted in agreement on the
composition of the committee.
Deichert said Huron Farms are the
people who want the subdivision, and
for that reason should be on the
committee.
Included with the agenda was the
report of the March 5 meeting of the
township recreation committee
meeting. Grants totalling *21,450 were
approved as follows: Zurich Recrea-
tion, parks and community centre
board - $6,000; special project (glass The fire chief, deputy chief and cap -
ends on ice surface) - *2,000; Zurich.
Minor Athletic.- *350; Zurich and -area
figure skaing club - *450; Dashwood
Community Centre - *1,500;
Dashwood Minor Athletics - *400;
Dashwood athletic field - *1,000;
Zurich recreation and parks board for
summer playground - *250; Hensel)
recreation and parks board - *2,400;
South Huron rec center - *800; Hay.
township ball diamond (to be applied
to bank loan? - *3000; township hall -
*3,000 and administration - *300.
As both Wilder and Councillor
Gerald Shantz were absent, no action
was taken on a rec board recommen-
dation that after 1986 all funds go
directly to recreation centres rather
than to individual organizations.
Deichert and Councillor Murray Keys
thought some organizations, especial-
ly minor athletics and the figure
skating club, should still receive
diet grants. The matter will be
discussed further when all members
of council are present. .
Notice was received from the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority that Hay's 1986 levy is
*11,743,350, up 10 percent from last
year.
Council agreed to accept an in-
crease from *2,000 to *2,500 in the fire
retainer fee for fire protection ser-
vices from Grand Bend, provided
there are no more increases for the
following two years. Other rates re-
main the same.
Vehicle costs for attending a fire
stay at *50 per hour per vehicle for a
minimum charge of two hours.
tains will still receive *8.50 per hour
for a minimum of two hours, and
firemen will be paid *8 per hour for
the same minimum period.
A request by A.T. Hillary to protect
the shoreline of his property at lot 1
and part lot 2, plan 512, with a 100 -foot
groyne and a 35 -foot seawall was ap-
proved, with the condition no liabili-
ty for costs or injuries would be
assumed by the municipality.
The only bundling permit issued
this month was for a 30 foot by 54 foot
auditorium addition to the Blue Water
Rest Home. The meeting adjourned
at noon.

meeting at the Lutheran Church on
