Says developer studying

Notwithstanding an adverse

at Walkerton
A Supreme Court grand jury
took less than an hour Monday to
return a true bill on a charge of
• non -capital murder in the case of
a Teeswater man whose trial is
now continuing at WalkertOn.
Shortly after the jury's de-
cision, the Crown .began its case
against Dale McKee, 22, charged
with the fatal shooting of Tees -
water implement dealer Donald
Donaldson on April 30 last.
Mr. Donaldson's 20 -year-old
son was to testify Tuesday.
ts Steven and a 21 -year-old friend
Douglas Wall of Holyrood were
wounded in .22 calibre rifle fire
which mowed down the 42 -year-
old Donaldson on the front lawn
of his home. Both youths re-
covered after a lengthy stay in
hospital.
' McKee was arrested .a few
hours after the shooting and was
committed indefinitely to the On-

Engineer Burns Ross, Mr. Hay-
man stated he would consider
'payjng part of the costs of

which might be required to make

Mayor Miller did not expect
Mr. Hayman to attend the closed
council meeting Wednesday
night, believing no progress to-
ward clearing the matter could
be made untilyMp. Hayman could
deal directlY with the Ontario
Water Resources Commission
about the pumping station.
Following a special meeting of
the Wingham and District Plan-
ning Board here last week, the
board by motion requested coun-
cil to reject the building applica-
tion proposing a 30 -unit three-
storey apartment building anct,a
seven -unit townhouse.

Planner Present
Soon after the session got under
way the board was joined by
Gary Davidson representing the
Huron County Planning , Board.
Mr. Bender commenced to "re-
view the situation up to the time
of the meeting and it was made
clear that the specific ground
covered in the application was
not a subdivision but , a simple
building lot or block of land.
At this point Don Kennedy in-
terjeted that in his opinion the
planning board had been by-
passed by council, and that the
proposal should properly have
come before the planning board
prior to council consideration.
Mayor Miller tended -to agree
that a better 4course of action
might have been to refer the
matter to planning board in the
first instance, but pointed out
that while council approved the
application "in principle" it had
been at the same time stipulated
that approval would be subject to
the study and comment of the
planning board.
Councillor Bateson also was in-
clined to think the cart might
have been placed before the
horse.
Don Kennedy suggested that
the board be filled in on the back-
ground of the business because he
had no knowledge of the business
except what he had seen in the
paper, and expressed the view all
the facts should have been placed
before the board in the first
place. He asked if it was proposed
to base taxation on the proposed
structure on a frontage or per
foot basis.
Mayor Miller replied that taxa-
tion would be on a valuation
basis, not related to frontage as
such.
Gary Davidson, Huron planner,
suggested the first consideration
might well be "does it contravene
your plan?" He thought a high
density proposal such as an
apartment should be located
close to a main arterial street,
near park area and near a ,school.
In this case the school and
possibly the parkland require-
ments might be met, but con-
sidered John Street not to be an
arterial street in the meaning of
being one that would ideally
carry dense vehicular traffic that
might be generated by tenants of
the 30 -unit apartment and, seven
-
unit town house. It might on that
basis only be permissible by an
amendment t� an existing zoning
by-law.
Mr. Davidson, on requesting
whether the town bad established
