Roy Breckenridge, ,local
building inspector, asked for
and received permission to at-
tend the two-day seminar on
cohdomiri1iui'ns in Toronto this'
'rtion•th..
- 'This type housing is fast
growing,„ said . Breckenridge._.
"Therefore full understanding
l all the information one can
shave will be required to handle
applications . for this „type of
living when it comes to
Goderich.”
1He ,strongly recommended
that a member of council be
authorized to attend ,th.e
seminar , as well. Reeve Deb
Shewfelt was given"approval by
council to attend the seminar if.,
he so desires.
Breckenridge ,also told coun-
cil he'd -be unable to find a
design bylaw upon which to
base `.a similar bylaw for
Goderich.
"Design Control may be exer-
cised on a new subdivision, and'
this is usually by the developer.
for his protection," :said
Breckenridge,
Councillor Eileen Palmer
referred to the external design
portion of the new Restricted '
Area Bylaw. That. reads: "The,,
Following building materials
shall, not be used for the e-,-'
terior vertical. facing ,on any
• `wall or any building or struc-
4ure within the Corporation:
bu-i-lding_0er or asphalt cull-
type siding or insul brick, con-
crete or cinder block in residen-
tial zones."
. Mrs. Palmer then drew coun-
ty , ciJ's attention to the Krohmer
apartment building on Bennett
Street- which has cement block
construction,. She was reminded •
that it is ,difficult sometimes, to
determine which is an ordinary.,
cement block and that which is
property termed a "decoratiy'e
block".
7,
"A block is' a block," said
Mrs, Palmer.
Marcel De Winter, 117 Wes;
Street, appeared before council
with Breckenridge to .request a
building permit to •convert his
house to- v`a. quadruplex: The
DeWinter Iproperty is in an R2
zone and quadruplexes should
only be located in R3 zones.
DeWinter told council his
_plans are to provide housing for
older people because of the
proximity to downtown. ,
Councillor Dave • Gower
asked that 1)eWinter provide
plans of the proposed Structure
and said the matter should .go
to the planning board since it
necessitates'ti zoning -change. ,
Animal ° Control Officer, Dick
Eisler reported 448 dog tags
, have been sold to dater He also
reported ' 74 telephone calls
.during the month.
Eisler said the skunks, are
back and- warned council he'd
no., intention to become a skunk
"trapper. He said unless the
sku`tiks are out in plain view, he
does not intend to flush them
out.
Cats are still a big- tiroblern.
New ruling is that stray cats
have to go to the pound when -
picked up. -
When asked about the new
pound, 'Eisler said' the 'pound -
was ' e"xcelient and the town
should be pleased with th;e new
arrangement. •
