Mickle outlines

"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

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.

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-

portant issue to be resolved,
not just with Hay Townhsip,
but with Usborne and Stephen

of Exeter cannot continuous-
ly be looking over its shoulder
and monitoring all committee

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.

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.

They are the customers and
staff. 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."
