By Fred Groves
T -A staff
GRAND BEND - There could
be a significant change to the
look of Grand Bend in 1994.
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

then they have looked for a new

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 -

"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 -

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.
"The store hasn't had any renova-
tions for nine years," said represen-
tative Allan Donnan. Once renova-
tions are completed the store is
expected to be back in business.
Perry Originals expanded into a
London shopping mall in 1989 and
the following year set up another
store in Guelph. Donnan said shop-
ping malls have been hit hard by
the recession.
"But the Exeter -store has been
holding its own," he said.
