Monday night at the final coun- cit meeting of 1993, council tis- tened with interest to a presenta- tion from Don Pearson and Craig Coleman of the Grand Bend Yacht Club. The two brought drawings and diagrams of whatthey hope to be their new clubhouse. Situated on a River Road prop- erty adjacent . to the existing launch -Tamp, the clubhouse, when compltd, would look like a lighthttie and could :stand as high as 50 feet. "It's quite an impressive look- ing design, it's going to be nice to see an improvement down there," said councillor Bill Uniac of the village's harbour. The Yacht Club does not have a clubhouse atillaaanicas a small Wilding it did'l as tom down a :cal pie of teiltk`itgo and since then they have looked for a new home. No doubt the new building, es- pecially with a Iightlttsiiwer, would beautify' the eritim ater area. access to the tower for observa- tion," said Pearson, Grand Bend's harbour is unique in that is serves several purposes. There are commercial fishing op- erations, sail boats and power- boats. 1Jniac's main concern, and the major one of discussion in re- gards to the new. clubhouse was the visual restriction it may cause to other nearby properties. "It's a giboddition to that side of the river" One of those properties is a pro- posed subdivision owned by the Revlon Group which was repre- sented by Rick Draker on Mon- day night. How's the view?: "Has any member of the Yacht Club gone to my client's (Devlon) and ima- gined what two stories and a tow- er would look like,? asked Drak- er. The proposed clubhouse is de- signed to be about 20 by 50 feet and have an 8 by 8 foot tower which' would look like a light- house. The two storey structure along with the tower would meas - "11 is _proposed. their VO1114 • be ure nojhighei'lhen 50 feet. .,quire. "Usually it would be a feature rather than something "Obstructing • view," said Pearson in response to Draker's question. While the new lighthouse -style clubhouse is in the- preliminary stages, there already has been a lot of work done on it. The Yacht Club has received approval ffom the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ausable Bayfield Conser- vation Authority as well as leuers from two neighbouring property owners which do not have any objections. 'It's a great addition to that side of the river," said village resident Barry Richman. Richman wanted to know how- ever if the approval of the height of the clubhouse would:SO a prec- edent in Grand Bend fiitithers to come and put up high buildings in the area. "I don't know if you'll have too many structures like this pro- posed," said Anne Marie Howard of the Lambton County Planning Department She exp4hat'the proposal would meet with the village's of- ficial plan policy. "I'm sure there will be many questions when this becomes a re- ality," said councillor Phil Ma - Times -Advocate, December 15,1993 Page 6 Perry Originals closing temporarily EXETER - Although Perry Origi- nals is in the process of closing its three stores and warehouse, the Ex- eter store is expected to re -open in the New Year.
