pointing this out.
Munkittrick told council that ap-
proving the plan now would be
premature. Legislation which will set
out conditions for conversions is now
being considered. She recommended
that Hensall establish policies on con-
version that would become part of the
Hensel' land use plan. She also urg-
ed council to consider the advantages'
and disadvantages of such
conversions.
Rent control, which restrictsreturn
on investment, is one of the reasons
for the trend to condominiums. On the
other hand, Munkittrick said, conver-
sion removes rentals units from the
market and often causes hardship by
forcing tenants to relocate in new
buildings not subject to rent control.
Councillors expressed the hopg they
will be able to sit in on the meetings
between Crich and the tenants.

Protecting the interests of current
tenants of the apartment building at
176 Oxford St. was a prime concern of
Hensall Councillors when planning
assistant Heather Corbet, employed
with Jack E. Davis Holdings Ltd.
which is acting for owner Don Crich,
appeared at the regular May session
to discuss the proposed conversion in-
to condominiums of the 36
apartments.
Ms. Corbet made her presentation
first. She said if Crich receives ap-
proval to convert, he plans to invest
"a lot of money" in carpeting,
wallpaper, paint and new appliances
within the 10 -year-old building, and
more outside on the grounds and
parking lot before offering the units
for sale. New cupboards and
bathroom fixtures would be extra.
Tenants would be given the first op-
portunity to buy during the first three
years. They could remain as tenants
for three to five years, but Crich
would want complete condominuim
status at the end of 10 years. Corbet
said a lifetime tenancy could not be
promised because of legal problems.
If the plan goes ahead, con-
dominium owners would each pay a
common element fee in addition to the
mortgage payment. This would pay
for general upkeep and maintenance
of the building and grounds.
According to Corbet, Crich plans

two meetings soon with his tenants.
The first will be an informal meeting,
and a condominium expert will attend
the second. Corbet indicated that
Crich will proceed with his applica-
tion even if no one at either meeting
expresses any interest in buying an
apartment.
Reeve Jim Robinson said that
many of the apartments are rented by
ladies living alone, who sold their
houses some time ago, and may now
be asked to pay twice as much for
their apartments
"With the best will in the world,
many of the tenants couldn't buy even
if they wanted to," Robinson said.
Councillor Peter Groot wanted to
know if Crich was aware of the zero
vacancy rate in rental accommoda-
tion in Hensall.
Huron County Planner Patty
Munkittrick noted this was the first
condominium conversion proposal in
Huron, but she thought the owner had
to sell a certain percentage to comp-
ly with regulations. Corbet replied
that Crich could get around this by
selling some units to himself.
Munkittrick wondered what control
council would have over the site plan.
Robinson added that Crich had not
fulfilled all his obligations under the
original development agreement with
the village, and gave Corbet a copy of
a letter previously written to Crich
