Clinton News-Record, 1983-08-24, Page 10PAGE 10—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WE! DNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1'' 3 Y by Helen Owen and Doris Hunter Council loops at Memorial airn By Helen Owen Brig. Fred Clift met with Bayfield Council on August 15 to discuss the Memorial Cairn and Flag pole. He began his presentation by outlining the history of the Cairn, and the part which he had played in its maintenance over the years. Three years ago, he said, he had 'resigned' his respon- sibilities. However, in fact, this resignation did not come into effect, and before going further he wished to make it clear to Council that his resignation would be definite, and final, in the fall. It was his suggestion that the Garden Club might under- take the chores associated with the upkeep, and he understood that the Ex- ecutive had agreed to do so for atrial period during 1984. There were serious pro- blems with regard to refuse and broken glass which needed constant attention, and following adverse criticism some years ago a proposal had been made for the shrubs to be removed and the area surrounding the memorial paved. No action had been taken in this respect but Council agreed to look into this matter, and it was noted that - the Veterans would be consulted before any decision was made. Continuing, Brig. Clift of- fered to donate a flag pole and pay the expenses for its erection other than labor costs, and he also suggested an appropriate location. Thanking him for his generosity, which was great- ly appreciated, Reeve Dave Johnston said that a new pole had been acquired already. He felt that this was a village responsibility, and arrangements were being made for the installation of the pole which would include the suggestions advocated by Brig. Clift. Gary Davidsdh then made a presentation on behalf of the Huron County Planning Department of which he is Director, and introduced his assistant Cindy Fisher, and John Myers a student who had spent the summer work- ing on maps and informative material relevant to the review of the zoning bylaw. Mr. Myers displayed a comprehensive series of maps which he had prepared covering all the aspects in- volved, such as usage, lot lines and vacant areas. Each one was color coded to in- dicate specific data and in- volved study of air photo analysis, old assessment maps, and many hours of field work. The project -was more or less completed, but it had been essential in order to update information in preparation for the new mill- ing bylaw. 1t was, he said a long process, which would not be finalized until full discussion had taken place based on the researched material. Members of the council were each supplied with detailed maps to assist them in their deliberations. On behalf of council the Reeve thanked Mr. Myers for his lucid explanations and the excellence of his presentation. The third presentation was made by Mel Graham of the Tuckersmith Telephone Company, who was accom- panied by Don Campbell. Mr. Graham explained why a new rate structure was under consideration which had been prompted by the increasing demand for private lines as opposed to party lines. It had become clear,. he said, that ad- justments had to be made, cables were Becoming too full, and it was for these reasons that new rate struc- tures were being considered. This involved an overall review of charges, which at a rough estimate appeared to bring them into the area of $11-12. This had naturally caused considerable concern on the part of some service users, but he pointed out, since that initial survey other considerations had had to be taken into account and consequently, for the next year or two everything would be ".on hold". In any event, he felt it important that it was understood that any changes to be under- taken would have to be car- ried out in phases over a long term period, and everybody would have right of appeal at the appropriate time. The introduction of a new system would require public meetings so that consumers would have opportunities for input and comment. In an era of ever increasing pro- gress in the field of technology changes were im- minent both in the equip- ment and its applications, as well as the uses to which con- sumers would want to apply these new techniques to their use of the service. Council received requests for a pay phone at the Marina and Mr. Graham was asked to consider this matter as it was pointed out that in cases of emergency the availability of a telephone to summon aid was of the utmost impor- tance. Questions were in- vited from members of the public and these covered the use of fibre optics, pro- cedures of the Telephone Commission and the ine- qualities of short distance WE'VE GOT THE BEST DEAL MI TQWN!�il �p te 1. ti. tivi- An 40 ii (VI:" 11"°11e" 0 \ t // Don't miss the News -Record's BAVFIELD FAIR DAYS 2 days only -friday $ Saturday, August 26 & 27 ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION New or Renewal Regular x18.80 169s.

Thanking Mr. Graham for attending the meeting, the Reeve said that he hoped his remarks would clarify the situation, which in summary meant that although changes were in the offing, there was no indication of any change in the foreseeable future. Clerk Pat Graham reported that he had receiv- ed copies of the brochure which had been prepared by the LACAC, some of which were on display. As a first major venture members of the committee present were congratulated on the ex- cellence of their work, which it was hoped was a signifi- cant indication of the stan- dards they proposed to pur- sue. Also on the subject of designation, the approval of a recent application had in- volved a fee, and LACAC were asked to investigate this and establish a pro- cedure for future ro- cedureforfuture reference. Carolyn Chapman was present in connection with her request to council for permission to obtain water from across the road to supp- ly her residence on Louisa Street. Details of the re- quired work involved had been submitted and the re- quest was approved. Moving on to matters aris- ing from previous business the clerk reported that he had been in contact with the property owner in connec- tion with the damage to the road allowance and Mara Street Wild Flower Sanc- tuary. He had been advised that the landscapers would be in shortly to deal with the actual property, and at the same time assess the re- quirements for making good the damage which had been sustained. Two other items of concern, brush on the beach, and sale of goods on the road allowance had also been resolved since the last meeting. Referring to the applica- tion of the proprietors of The Little Inn in connection with extension and restoration work on their premises, it was noted that they were proceeding with the work and had made application to the Committee of Adjust- ment in connection with a variance they wished ,to in- corporate in the project. nance The Building Inspector's report for July showed that six permits had been issued, one for demolition, and 24 calls had been made on behalf of the council. Among correspondence received was information and a map of the proposed Hydro Corridor route, which established that it appeared to be well away from Bayfield. Project details, sources of further informa- tion and a map are now available in the Clerk's of- fice should residents wish to peruse them. The Department of Oceans and Fisheries had requested details to assist them in the collection of information, and a further enquiry had been received from the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture requesting a brief relative to input in connec- tion with a Special Commit- tee for the Arts enquiry. Harvey Godbolt had advis- ed council that the roads completed on his subdivision were now ready for take over by the municipality, and it was agreed that this matter should be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. Two further items for discussion concerned resolu- tions made by Councillor Morley, who had suggested that the ball diamond on Clan Gregor Square was no longer essential, but in fact might present a hazard to other users of the Square. Further input from coun- cillors was requested before reaching a conclusion on this point. The other item con- cerned material which coun- cillors had been studying relevant to the licensing of premises for specific usages, which might prove contrary to the interests of the com- munity as a whole. The need was stressed for council to look ahead and endeavour to anticipate long term situa- tions rather than find themselves facing a fait ac- compli. The whole matter was one of considerable complexity and in pursuing it the council were of the opi- nion that more input was re- quired, particularly from the business people in the com- munity. The next meeting of the council will be on Tuesday, September 6 at 7 p.m. The Village Guild BAYFIELD VERANDAH SALE MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 29-30-31 10 AM -6 PM PECK APPLIANCES "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" • FILTER QUEEN SALES & SERVICE • VACUUM CLEANERS - (Sales & Service to Most Makes) • FM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (For Farm & Business) •WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCES • WOODS FREEZERS • CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS •INSECT & FLY KILLING UNITS (For Indoor & Outdoor Use) •GIFTS & MANY MORE ITEMS VARNA, ONT, 482-7103 Fred Clift was hard at work on Saturday serving up plates of ham at the Trinity ACW garden supper in Bayfield.
