"That's not a course f like. It is

you approve my building
perrnit."
„Reeve Paul Carroll thanked
Hayman for his consideration.
He said it, was evident Hayman
had put "lots of work" into his
new plans, and he asked

decided to take the. `matter
under advisernent for another
week or two.
"I would take no action
whatsoever," stated Hayman:
He did say that he would
appreciate an invitation to the
next, meeting of the Planning
Boa`r`d' at '-which the matter
would be discussed.
"Ithink if thy had.had the
courtesy to iriv'ttt me to come to
their- last rneeting, we could
have saved a,great deal of this
problem we " have tonight,"
atided Ef-ayinan
The Hayman proposal was
• then deferred until the Planning
Board, the building inspector
and town . council had time, to
study it further. (The Planning
Board rnet Tuesday evening and
the town committee rneeting is
tonight, September 14.)
But the rneeting was not over.
A letter read ,by the
administrator from. 'B,R.
- Robinson was still to be dealt
with. The letter asked who had
the authority in Goderich to
issue building permits.
"I'd like to know too," said
Profit. "I find• it difficult 'to
determine, and I'rn a member of
council. Mr. Ducha'rrne has been
to council twice and he still
doesn't have a • Aerrnit.' And
when did . council approve that
cheap gas permit?"
Walls said • that after
consultation with town- solicitor
Dan Murphy, he had issued the
building permit for the gas bar
at the corner of Cambria Road
and St. David Street. Reeve
Carroll said that he had been in
the office when Walls and
. Murphy were discussing the
permit. Carroll supported
Walls' decision in this instance,
he said.
Walls ;told the rneeting that
the town bylaw states that "the
clerk • will issue permits on
approval of council". He said it
has been past practice to,bring
applications of ally size or any
'possible controversial nature to
the council table for decision.
PLANNING BOARD. MEETING
Tuesday evening this week,
. the Goderich Planning Board
rnet in the;'"council charnbers.
The first item of business was to
discuss with Jarnes Hayrnan his
- -plans for the construction of a
multi -dwelling housing unit at
the . corner of Bennett and
Warren Streets.
Once more Hayman outlined
his plans and once more, he
discussed his efforts to appease
the complaints of . persons
residing in the area.
In addition to the planning
board chaired that evening by
Bert Worsell, Dave Barber of
Municipal Planning
Consultants in -Toronto and
town solicitor. Dan Murphy,
were on hand: A delegation of
Warren -Bennett Street residents
was also present.
Mayo Harry Worsell told
Hayman that -since last
Thursday's rneeting, several
residents had expressed concern
that traffics' trona .lois pr+ posed'
developrnent -Was scheshiled to
travel Rich Street.
"Some ' peopit - are
complaining about traffic on
Rich Street," said the mayor..
"It rnust go somewhere," .said
Hayman, "At the most, we're
talking about 20 cars. But if the
town or the planning board feels
that traffic should exit on
Bennett Street as previously •
plannecti suppose that can be
done.
Wilfred Reinhart of 294
Lakeside Drive 'asked about
Hayrnan's claim that the
property upon which he
proposed to build was zoned D
for •development:He wondered
who had decided that.
Barber reported upon receipt
of the draft zoning bylaw, a.
letter dated' October 8, 1970;
from a representative of the
Department of Municipal
Affairs had advised ' that te
property now under option by,
Hayman should - not be zoned
Residential One but D for
Development. Barber explained
that Phe Department of
Municipal Affairs has
recornrnended D zoning for all
lands within any rnunicipality
which were vacant and had no
buildings on thein.
• Murphy said the D zoning
would not prevent a Residential
One zoning at some future date,
although the property could be
zoned any way the rnunicipality
felt was most beneficial.
Harold Jeffery said the
delegation fromthe southwest
corner was opposed to two srn'a l l
"spot Residential Three zones in
one . particular area". He was
referring to the Hayrnan plans
and to the. Dixon proposal on
Lakeside Drive.
Hayman said that Residential
Two land Three zones already
exist in the area. He claimed he
was not "asking for something
new".
• _Throughout the rneeting,
Chairman. Worsen had
difficulty keeping the comments
from the floor in check. At some
stages, discussion became
heated and members of the
audience -were. embroiled in
arguments.
For this reason, Bert .Such of
the Planning Board proposed
that "to allow coolness to
reign", the Planning Board
would • go into committee* to
discuss Hayrnan's plans. His
motion was approved and the
rneeting was adjourned.
Hayrnan later advised the
planning board that he would
attend the next rneeting of
Goder;ch Town Council
(September 21) a,nd would
expect a decision at that time on
the rriitter of his multi -dwelling
housing unit.
`.`That ,may .not be possible."
Murphy told hien. '
"I can appreciate your
problem", answered Hayman.
"But you can appreciate that
tirne is of the essence for me, too.
I 'ask that all reasonable haste
be taken in this matter. I don't,
feel I have at any tirne
pressured anyone. I didn't stay'
`do or else'. I • said I would
appreciate consideration,
please."
Goderich's official plan
written by Municipal Planning
Consultants has no official
status in the community until a
new zoning bylaw is approved
and irnplernented. A public
hearing is scheduled on this
bylaw October 10. After that,
the '!oning bylaw must go back

to the Ontario Municipal Board
for final approval.
In a question period following
last Thursday's regular council
meeting, Reeve Carroll told the
press that in his opinion 4
Goderich Town' Council, had
three choices open to it on the
Hayman and; Dixon proposals.
He said the rnunicipality
could ask the Municipal Board
to permit a holding bylaw; an
utrtirke y osstbtltty. from past
Municipal' Board rulings; it
would issue the building permits
and then apply for injunctions
to stop construction, a method
which likely would not be
upheld in a court; or it could
"issue the building permits. and
let the cards fall where, they
may in Novernber's election".
Mayor Harry Worsell said
that since Dixon had threatened
legal action, the matter could
come to a head quickly and
council would find out what
action it can and cannot take.
•
said Davidson. "It will get.
thein thinking About it".„
The purpose of the proposal$
is to re-establish Zurich; as the
-commercial centre 'ut, the
agricultural area ait(ince served,
and at the sarneltirne,' tak e ad-
vantage of the increasing num-
ber of tourists and cotta$eirs who
are locating on the lake, near
the village.
"We want to develop the corn-
rnercial area to attract tourists,
but to kee in. harxnon w h.__
present atrnosp.here,",, said
county planner Nick Hill. "We
want to avoid the neon -lit, loot-
rodder, French -fry type of
tourist village,"
The proposals, incorp
orate
recommendations for a face-lift
and development of the core
commercial area, a planned.
residential scheriie, AO a 12 -
acre industrial park.
Hill said that 34 percent of
the cornxnercial area is vacant
land, and that this land is scat-
tered • and fragrnented
throughout the core. "It lacks
color, life and landscaping," he.
said. , .
He said there is room for at
least six shops and one large
super -market -type store.
The plan also calls for an
open-air summer market °on the.
west side of Victoria Street,
which would involve, limiting
the street to one-way traffic, and
the building of pedestrian walk=
way ,between Victoria and
Goshen streets, to provide store
"futuristic" look with ;new plan
