The application of Wayne and Debra Oke, 174 Andrew St., to change the classification of their property from a residential zone to a R1-1, was the subject of a hearing and con- sideration by the planning advisory committee on Wednesday. Six neighboring property owners were on hand to express concern over such things as traffic control, com- mercialization of a residential zone, hours of operation as well as trespass- ing by the public on adjacent proper- ties and possible property devaluation. It was also noted that similar facilities operated in London and Toronto had created problems in their neighborhoods and neighbors com- mented that the proposed pool in a Driver hurt in collision An Exeter man suffered head in- juries in one of three collisions in- vestigated by the Exeter police department this week, while a vehi- cle was damaged after youths threw a firecracker into it. William Simpson, Exeter, suffered the minor head injury on Tuesday when his vehicle was in collision with one driven by David Robinson, St. Marys. The accident occurred at Main and Wellington and the local man was treated at South Huron Hospital and released. Damage to the vehicles was set at $5,200. Also on Tuesday, vehicles operated by Elizabeth Pinkney, RR 3 Georgetown, and Lynne Ferguson, Exeter, collided near the intersection of Andrew and Sanders. Damage was only $170. Vehicles driven by Simon Roobol, Hensall, and Lauren Love, RR 3 Kip - pen, collided on Sanders near Main on Friday with total damage set at $600. A' vehicle owned by Paul Mason, Exeter, was damaged while parked at the South Huron rec centre lot Sunday afternoon. A group of youths threw a live firecracker into the vehicle, resulting in burns to the seats. The firecracker was described a round yellow cherry bomb type. Police are asking that any witnesses to the inci- dent contact them. Police are also seeking witnesses to an attempted breakin at Precious Blood Separate School during the past week. Officials discovered evidence that indicated someone had attemp- ted to pry open a rear door. Again this week, there were reports of door-to-door sales people operating in Exeter without a licence. Although many itinerent salespeople are licenc- ed provincially, they also require a Local permit. Police have encourag- ed homeowners to request to see evidence of the local permit as this will further ensure the integrity of the transaction. new home planned by the couple far exceeds the 25 per cent home occupa- tion guidelines. The committee hearing the applica- tion consisted of Mayor Bruce Shaw and Councillor Ben Hoogenboom and they agreed to have a development agreement drafted to cover some of the concerns. This agreement will be presented to the committee for review and discussion. The local police department sub- mitted a report expressing concern over parking for the public pool, although the couple has received per- mission to use the parking lot at the South Huron rec centre for patrons. The matter was discussed at Mon- day's session of council and Mayor Bruce Shaw reported he detected "very strong opposition" to the pro- posal at the meeting. Applications approved by the com- mittee included a severance for George Robertson and Percy McFalls; zone change for Ron Grasdahl at 503 Market and a minor variance for Hasty Markets for their development at the corner of Main and Simcoe St. The purpose of the lat- ter was to allow four gas pumps rather than two. In a complete about turn, the plan- ning advisoryy committee approved a minor variance to enable Jerry MacLean to have an addition erected at his car wash building on Main St. N. to provide warehousing space for his enterprises. An application had been turned down when presented to the board at a September meeting. It was refused on the grounds that the variance be- ing sought was not minor, was not desirable for the appropriate develop- ment or use of the land/building, The general intent and purpose of the of- ficial plan and zoning bylaw was not being maintained. A factor in the committee's decision in September was an objection from the local fire department that if the application was approved, it would result in greatly reduced fire protec- tion for the area. On the new application the depart- ment indicated a misunderstanding had arisen over the original applica- tion and the concern over fire protec- tion was not applicable to the situation. Planning advisory committee chairman Dave Newton attended Monday's session of council at the re- quest of Councillor Ben Hoogenboom to "shed some light" on the MacLean matter. Newton plication primarily tion from "When said ttlat the original aft had been turned down on the basis of the opposi- the fire department. they (fire department) BLOOD TRANSFUSION SERVICE reversed their decision, we Telt we had to too," he said. Deputy -Reeve Loesy Fuller asked if a 45 percent variance was normal- ly approved. Newton responded by explaining the committee didn't work on percen- tages although he said the 45 percent figure may seem large. However, he added that there was room for ample fire protection and that had been one of the main considerations. • Mayor Shaw commented on the fact members of the public attending on the Oke applicationappeared to think the meeting was closed after their presentation while the committee continued discussion with the Okes after other parties departed. Newton said the only thing closed at committee sessions is the actual voting procedure. "The public could have stayed, but they chose to go home," Hoogenboom explained.
