Huron County's plan came
One .step ._ closer Thursday to
becoming official when members
Of Huron County Council
approved the plan as ammended,
foILow ing public meetings
throughout Huron.
Gary Davidson, the county
planning director, said the plan
would now be forwarded to the
'Minister of Municipal Affairs for
final approval. -
"The ammendments to the
original plan," noted Davidson,
"were in the areas of seasonal
residential regulations and the
land use designations,
particularly with regard to lot
sizes for private and sub -division
expansion. Some other minor
adjustments were suggested and
approved by members of council
Thursday. •
The size of the lots, , as
required in the plan, came under
lengthy discussion during the-
session,- with some councillors
expressing sincere doubts about
the regulations.
Reeve Elgin' Thompson,
Tuckersmith, was one- of the
first . councillors to express
concern that if large lots of one
acre or one and half acres are
necessary, it might induce
people to go out and purchase
an entire farm, build, a house on
one corner of it and allow the
rest to grow up in weeds.
Reeve Bill Elston, Morris,
concurred,- He --said the
consideration of the size of the

ex plained -. it. .:nx u1d . he ..:.too
costly for one -home builders in
small rural villages, for instance,
to 'afford to meet,,, ,the new
regulations,
Reeve Charles Thomas,
chairman of the Huron Planning
`Board, said the matter., had
received the committee's full
attention.
"In some areas, an acre is not
enough," said Thomas. "In some
'areas it is too much. But we have
to be able to separate the septic
tank system from the -well , in
areas where there is no sewage,
system,"' .
County planner Davidson said
it must be recognized that a
septic tank system in some areas
.
of Huron County will have to
continue to work steadily for
perhaps 20 or'30 years. He said
the size of the` lot should be
adequate to perniit'the weeping
bed"to be dug up and moved to
_another area to give 'the land an
opportunity to recover. •
It was.aiso ,painted out that if
the land developer -could prove
by a percplation 'test that the
size of 'the lot could be smaller
and still permit adequate septic
drainage, it would be permitted.
r A percd'lation test; according
. to Davidson, involved digging a
hole about 18 -inches, square by
two feet ,deep and saturating, it
With water for about. 24 hours.
_Then_the :hole ,was filled with
wate No
nd observed to determine
how q ickly the water got away.
Davidson said a qualified
person was requ j eed to take the
'percolation test, ` added that
1� the land owner took i,rial tests
on his property` before calling in
the engineer, he would have a
better idea whether or -not the
percolation test . would be
approved and the land judged
suitable for smaller lot purposes.
'Reeve Thompson concurred
with Davidson and said the
percolation testing shouldn't be
- very costly if the co-operation of
the .Department of Health could
be enlisted.- '
Reeve John Flannery of
Seaforth said he wasn't satisfied
that county councillors knew
what these new regulations
would mean to young' couples
deciding to build homes. He said
young people are "craving" for.
an indication offut>,ire costs and
this, legislation was not helping
toward that end.
Davidson reminded council
that the official plan would be
administered locally, not
provincially as is the case in.
some instances governing
building now.
"We can be a little more
passionate in our decisions," said
Davidson. ]
The' report of the Land
Division Committee, chaired by
Cal Krauter,,. Brussels, brought
on another heated discussion.
among county council members.
The committee's report
showed that a fee of $40 would
be levied'against the seller where
parols ,of land were to be
severed. The charge would be
made, the rep showed,
whether the severance was
granted or not;
It was learned that when a
parcel of land is to be split"up,
all property owners within 200
feet of the severance had to be
notified to ascertain their
reactions.
"The procedu;e� with
obtainingt, consents is somewhat
. -
'det�Ii�d"'4d regtrires-,at-)reastH.a.-
aninim�na ..of Ilay_.s win . order _,.
' that the application can be
processed' iri' "the ' -`proper
manner," Krauter reported.
"The local municipality, the
Health Unit, thegRegional Health
Engineer, the Department of
Highways and the County
Engineer,, if necessary, have to
be ,,,co ntacted. r An on-site
inspection is,, made 'by the
Planning 'Director and' he "in
turn, makes a report to the Land' "
Division Committee. Once the
application has been approved,
the various forms are forwar-ded
to the appropriate people
including the Department of
Municipal Affairs, the local
municipality and the land owner
and interested parties. There is
,then a two-week period, foY ail "
appeal. When this period has
lapsed, then the deeds are
requested and a certificate
attached thereto by the
secretary."
"The biggest holdup," added
Krauter, "is the local councils
when they don't send in their
reports." -.
The committee sits twice
monthly and there are already
50 applications ready for study. ..
Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb
said the $40 cost should be
borne by the county and should
not be paid by -,the person selling
the land. He said these costs
should be spread over the entire
county because the legislation is
beneficial to the entire county.
severed within a municipality,
the council has the ,option to
collect five pfercen>; `of'ihe' land
or cash in lieu of land. This land
or cash, if . collected. by the
municipality, must''be used for
recreational purposes:
"A municipality doesn't have
to collect this five percent," said
Davidson, "but it has that
right."
