In the Village of Grand Bend, particularly in the Gibb's Park Area(R.P.'s 4 and 9),Heaman Sub- division (R.P. 3) and the older cottage area (R.P. 24), there are many existing Iots which are only 12 metres wide (40 feet) by 24 metres deep (80 feet). In addition, most of the roads in these areas are only 40 feet wide. These areas are zoned "One -Family Residential 1.4 (R1.4) Zone for Registered Plan 4, 9 and 24" and "One Family Residential 1.2 (R1.2) Zone for Registered Plan 3".There are twoprovisions in By-law 5010/80 which unnecessarily restrict development on small Tots: Section 5.19b) which requires that all buildings and structures be set 10 metres back from the centre -line of adjoining streets and the minimum rear yard depth requirements of the R1.4 zone. The pur- pose of this by -low is to amend these two pro- visions so that development may occur on ex- isting vacant Iots in Registered Plans 4, 9, 24 and 3. Section 5.19b) has been amended to ex- empt Registered Plans 3, 4, 9 and 24 from its provisions. Also, the minimum rear yard depth in the R1.4 Zone has been reduced from 7.6 metres to 6 metres.

Decorate with Wallpaper Now on Sale Ill VISAHwy. 21 Grand Bend HIE! 238-8603 Bonus concort well received A bonus concert in the cur- rent series organized by the Grand Bend Concert Associa- tion, was well received by the capacity audience at Grand Bend United Church Wednes- day night last week. Featuring area musicians and photographers, the pro- gram has a wide variety of music, instruments and ar- tistic approaches to please the tastes of area residents of all ages. Pianist, Robert Enns, a teacher at North Lambton Secondary School, com- mented that the piano duets played by he and pianist, Lynn Tremain, were typical of the sort of entertainment organized in private homes for friends and family in the early part of the century. In fact, the whole concert had the relaxed air of family and friends enjoying their crafts together. For the right touch of at- mosphere, Chantelle Crabe, young daughter of Associa- tion president, Dawn Crabe, displayed her keyboard skills in two brief pieces. Music chosen for the con- cert ranged from the 16th cen- tury to modern synthesized accompaniment. Instruments also represented the history of the same music. • Early music was played on a tiny, keyboard, harpsichord .type instrument called a Virginal, by both Enns and Tremain. Dawn Crabe (in - spite of a broken right arm) joined Tremain to play a suite of short dances with her recorder, again, 16th century music. A Sonata for flute and piano, written by Telemann in the 17th century, was played be Tremain with piano ac- companiment by Enns. They played three piano duets, two Spanish dances by Moszkowski and a 'pastoral theme from a contata by Bach. Grand Bend soprano, Roberta Walker, sang two contemporary songs in the first partof the program and later an excerpt from Handel's Messiah. She was ae'companied by Enns. Tom Adams, a student at North Lambton Secondary School, provided a light- hearted interlude with two pieces of descriptive music about elephants, played on his brass tuba. He returned later in the program to sing two contemporary "show" pieces. Photographic slide produc- tions were presented by Pinery Park naturalist, Terry sang their morning piece and Lori Vincent and Laura Campbell playeda piano duet. Crabe and Lambton Heritage Musetup curator, Robert Tre- main. All were set to contem- porary music. Tremain showed a documentary, he had put together from old photographs, about the rigors of fishing on the Great Lakes. Crabe showed one slide pro- duction featuring winter scenes in the Pinery Park area and another which was 'a kaleidoscope of creatures and natural "things" to be seen in the wooded setting around the area. The last, 10 minute produc- tion, accompanied by elec- tronic sound, was a superb collection of photographs of the rare and ordinary beauty contained in the Pinery area. It was a spectacular finale to a concert which was describ- ed as having "something for everyone". The concert was organized by Association president, Dawn Crabe, and was presented before an audience in Bayfield earlier in the week. Artists volunteered their time and talent to give the bonus boost to the series. Upcoming, on February 8, at the Grand Bend Church, is a duo of two prize-winning young Canadian performers from the regular Youth and Music Canada series. Calling their production "Entracte" (meaning, in- terlude), they are Joanne Geerling, flutist, and William Beauvais, guitarist. Their program will include a broad range of works which is described as "enchanting, magical and devilishly romantic" TINDIR The Village of Grand Bend will accept tenders for supplying, installing, and operating a coin operated LAUNDROMAT at the new Harbour Commission Building on River Road in Grand Bend.
