(News -Record photo) Hensall's secondary plan is read Hensall's secondary plan outlining landuse for the village took ,one more step on the long road to becoming official when council gave the bylaw first reading. Before giving the bylaw first reading, council q voted not to change any, of the zoning designations in the draft plan. Three changes had been suggested at the public meeting held earlier. County planner Roman Dzus told council changes could be made in the plan by council later, but it takes 60 days. Once the plan is given second and third reading, it will be forwarded to the county planning office. After their examination it will be printed and 'sent to the Ontario Government for approval. It will likely take a year before it.will be sent back, Dzus said. Reeve Harold Knight said the bylaw will be on the agenda of the next council Meeting for final approval. Council decided not to give the bylaw three readings in order to give members of council more time to study the plan. First reading of the bylaw means any new development will be subject to the plan, Dzus said.
