Mickle outlines Continued from front page "If the secondary plans of other neighboring municipalities are similar to Hay's, then there is a problem for the area that begs con- frontation and difficulties for co-operation," he continued, suggesting that this concern must be addressed by the county planning department. "It appears from a plann- ing situation the county lacks consistency and has no overall strategy for the area. In other words planing is done piece -meal." Mickle questioned whether adequate water is available for the Hay project, warning his cohorts that if a water shortage arises in the future after development takes place, they could be required Drug stores Continued from front page bine and enlarge stores rather than operate several in close proximity. The acquisition of small drug stores in all of the Big V areas has continued over the whole history of our existence." Because the company originated in a merger of in- dependents, growth through mergers and the partnership of store owners and phar- macists, many of whom have shares in the employee -owned company, is still important. The Big V concept began when a number of indepen- dent drug stores merged for corporate strength in buying and retailing, including advertising. Eleven phar- macists banded together - under a shareholder agree- ment - to cope with increasing competition from large dis- count store chains which were moving into the area of phar- macy operations. They were desperate, and their survival was at stake. The partners formed a buying group and immediately were able to take advantage of dramatic savings. Some products they were able to purchase at half the cost to them as in- dependents. This made them competitive with the discount operations that had been in- vading their territory. Big V management careful- ly chooses the locations of its stores, and much of the suc- cess of the chain can be at- tributed to this. • A neighborhood drugstore image is cultivated in a number of ways. Employees are retained after a formerly independent drugstore is opened under Big V's name. The same staff is always kept, and the pharmacists usually stay with the stores as well. Ownership established An application for a minor variance to allow Jon and Jo- Anne Dinney to erect a garden shed on their proper- ty was approved by the Ex- eter planning advisory com- mittee last week. The original application had been the subject of debate at a meeting on September 12 and was deferred at that time due to a question regarding the ownership of a section of the property on which the building would be erected. Solicitor K. I. McLean ap- peared at the committee's November 14 meeting to pre- sent a quit claim deed and ad- vised that the Dinneys have received ownership of the parcel of land. After being satisfied as to the ownership, the committee approved the minor variance application on the basis that there were no other buildings located in the immediate area and the general intent of the bylaw was being maintained. views to provide water to protect the jobs and this would further hamper Exeter's own development potential. He explained that the open- ing of the Hay development could provide alternate sites for local industries which maybe attracted through the efforts of the local economic development committee. "What this could cost Ex- eter is something that must not be ignored". While saying he believed there was a need for neighbours to be considerate of each other, Mickle said he would "strongly question the consideration shown Exeter by Hay and the county plann- ing department in this new proposal". He concluded by warning that if the project is suc- cessful, a precedent would be established and further developments could take place in other areas adjacent to Exeter. In summarizing, he asked "Why should Exeter agree to a plan that allows this type of development to occur at the expense of the town?" He further asked if the statement of intent in the Hay plan was a meaningful one or only mentioned to alleviate objections from former Ex- eter councils and urged that council request an area (South Huron) plan of development be put in place prior to decisions being made on the Hay project. He said cooperation is a two-way street, and asked if Hay and the county would cooperate to alleviate Ex- eter's concerns by putting in place bylaws to protect Ex- eter's interests. In her letter to council, Ms. Monteith said that Exeter must keep in mind the long- term cummulative affect of the county's interpretation of Hay Township's secondary plan and remember that there are two other townships with similar policies abutting the municipality. "We believe that the inter- pretation issue is the most im- J t V. 3.10.

The Town of Exeter cannot continuous- ly be looking over its shoulder and monitoring all committee of adjustment decisions and zoning bylaw amendments within these adjacent municipalities in order to en- sure both compatible fringe development and servicing concerns and even competi- tion concerns," she explained. Although her proposed draft letter to Hay notes agreement with the concept of having certain industries locate outside the town due to cost of land or servicing costs, she said that "first and foremost the Town of Exeter needs a clearer and more precise interpretation on Hay Township's plans for further industrial and/or commercial development related to the agricultural community." She again outlined her con- cern that the magnitude of the development is not in keeping with the intent of Hay's secon- dary plan. "Although we do not wish to deny Hay Township agricultural -related in- dustrial development of limited scale and scope, we do not believe that what is pro- posed is proportional by Hay Township's industrial draw," her draft letter states as it continued to suggest a reduc- ed number of lots in the sub- division and a limited and specific list of uses that could be considered. Trucker loses Continued from front page over 5:500 kilograms in weight from parking in residential areas is in effect until it is changed. He then suggested that other truckers who have established in residential zones since the bylaw was passed on September 24, 1980 "would be in trouble". However, bylaw en- forcement officer Brian Johnston replied that no other truckers would be affected at this time because all except Knip had been established prior to the passing of the bylaw or were parking in commercial zones. After the meeting, Shaw said the ad hoc committee ap- pointed by council to review the whole matter was still in existence, but he did not know at what stage their delibera- tions were. They had presented a report to council two weeks ago, but it was not even con- sidered after the proposal to implement a permit system was broached. He had noted during the discussion at the meeting that council can not over -turn a decision on a minor variance by the planning advisory committee which acts as a committee of adjustment. Permits near 1983 totals Another big jump in building permits was ex- perienced in Exeter last month and the 1984 total should now come close to the previous year. The value of permits issued in October was $355,045, due primarily to six commercial projects with a total value of 8254,300. That brings the 1984 total to $2,043,868 , compared to 82,150,181 for the same 10 -month period the previous year. During the past month, building inspector Brian Johnston issued 15 permits for residential renovations and additions valued at $75,145, two for institutional at 810,400, one industrial at $3,000 and six for tool sheds, carports and garages at $3,200. There were five permanent signs approved to bring this year's current total to 20 and 18 temporary signs to raise the 1984 total to 149.

A year ago Ed asked for your help in giving us a chance for your business and you responded well and the staff has done a tremendous job." Morlock added, "Due to the uncertain economic times, there will be no patronage payments this year. These monies will go to the general reserve. There will be lots of competition again this year. Come in and give us a crack at your business." UCO area supervisor Bill Deyell who conducted the an- nual election of officers told the audience, "You have a co-op here which serves you well with real teamwork. Part of the directors report as presented by Wayne Rowe was as follows: "During the year your board spent considerable time investigating the possibility of building new elevator facilities at the Brockville fertilizer plant. "Board members surveyed their neighborhoods for feed- back and information from members concerning the pro- posed expansion. As well. plans were drawn and financial projections made. After much thought and discussion it was felt a o p capital expends ure of this size of $600,000 would not be in the best interests of the Co-op at this time in view of the cost of money and the competitive nature of the marketplace." In the election Allan Powe became a director by ac- clamation replacing Gerald McBride who has completed nine years of service on the board of directors. The other directors are president Jim Morlock, secretary Cliff Hicks, John Oke, Wayne Ratz, Ross Ballantyne, Harvey Hodgins, Wayne Rowe and Edwin Miller. The latter two direc- tors were re-elcted. United Co -Operatives of On- tario president Bob Down told the meeting he was confident the refinancing proposals brought forth toput UCO back on a firm footing would be accepted. Referring to debenture holders Down said, "They will be given a number one securi- ty position ahead of the banks. Their best course of action is to vote yes. In most cases they are assured of being okay." Down continued, "I believe our new plan is the road map toUCOrecovery over the next three to five years. We hope to be in a slightly better than break even position by the end of 1985." • Antiques • Collectibles • Books (old/rare) r9tiwy!s-gypoomiy -- Bayfield - The Square -- • We do framing • We buy items of interest • Open L weekends throughout winter • Phone: 565-2793 1 PRE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 1 ALL SEIKO WATCHES o% OFF Loug re 's y Jeweliery & lifts MITCHELL PH, 348-9607 Hy' SETS THE STANDARD.
