(photo by Gwen Pemberton.) the BAYFIELDbertor, bugle Council hears villagers ,oppositions At the Bayfield Council meeting on Monday, November 6 a large delegation of deeply concerned citizens ap- peared, headed by Dr. Grov. Shepherd, president of the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association... A petition was presented, signed by well over a hundred voters requesting that council refuse to grant per- mission to Mr. Peever to build a small boat marina on ,the river east of the bridge. Spokesmen for the ratepayers were George Fellows and George Youmatoff.Mr. Fellows stressed the fact that village year-round residents number 500, that fora a two to three month period perhaps 500 boat people and 500 campers swell the numbers, but the cost of operating t1te village is - borne mainly by the permanent residents. "There appears to be an overwhelming' feeling on the part of the ratepayers against the building of the small -boat marina" he said. Quoting from a letter sent by Mr. Neil Mustard, a qualified engineer and Bayfield ratepayer to the Clinton News -Record, Mr. Fellows pointed out that the Bayfield River now has attained the elevation of the lake and that before there is-- any further mutilation by entrepreneurs tampering with the river at the ratepayers cost, steps must be taken to preserve its unique natural beauty. He drew attention to the fact that other municipalities such as Windsor and Stratford are spending heavily to buy back their river frontages. He predicted that, if the village allows the marina, it will be. opening a Pandora's box. Mr. Youmatoff urged the present out -going council to take definite action immediately to reject Mr.' Peever's proposal. "It will show the way for action on the part of future councils, if you act now" he said, stressing the congestion, nuisance and danger factors if small 15' to 17' motorboats are "en- .couraged on the river. `If Peever is not prevented from getting his foot in the door, within five years there will be marinas upstream as far as Jellystone Park," he said. In reply, Reeve Oddliefson and the council members were emphatic in their assurance that they had already said "No" to. the proposed marina as early as last summer when they were first ap- proached - that when Mr. Peever appeared before council on October 19th and presented the plans for a marina,• he was asking. council: mm ebers to reconsi'de'r' their refusal. There are government regulations now, against building on hazard land, which was not the • case when the first marinas were established and. this council feels that it is now on strong ground with such backing, in refusing to grant a permit to Mr. Peever. The Reeve expressed appreciation for the strong support now being ?#hown by the ratepayers in this matter. "Council has been fighting. the river battle for the last ten 'years without much evidence of backing from the citizens it represents - had that been forthcoming sooner, the picture might have been much different," he said. He urged the ratepayers to write to the ministers concerned, the local MP and MPP and the Conservation Authority, pointing out that both Federal and • Provincial governments are involved in jurisdiction over waterways. A new service comes 'to GRAHAM'S GENERAL STORE + Main St. - Bayfield Wo now offer a COMPLETE PHOTOFINISHING SERVICE from Triangle Colour Lab Ltd. With regard to the application to purchase two lots owned by the village on the river -front which was made at the previous meeting by Mr. Johnson and Mr. McGill, council moved that the two men be notified by letter that this, access to the river is' and will be of use to the village; con- sequently it will not be sold. Doris Hunter, Chair- man of LACAC asked , whether a public meeting was being arranged to consider the amendment to the Land Use (Zoing) by-law, concerning designation. She was informed that the meeting will take place on Saturday, November 18 at 2 p.m. at the Municipal Building - that it will be advertised in the press and that notices will be placed around the village. She expressed concern that several property owners in the area proposed for designation on the Main Street would not be able to come to the meeting, but felt that it should be held never- theless. Councillor McFadden said a second meeting could be called if necessary when they would be able to be present: Lioness club hear about social work Bayfield Lioness Club -met on November 6.:dt.the.
