THE VILLAGE GUILD Bayfield THINK CHRISTMAS! THINK DOULTON! VILLAGE GUILD! THE VILLAGE GUILD Bayfield, Ont. 565-2766 , Open Weekends Only until Christmas 10 am - 5 pm A�— By James Friel BAYFIELD - The "flip-flopping” of the Huron County Health Unit has led the Village of Bayfield council to reinstate a mo- tion directing New Ritz owner Roger Pemberton to dismantle a deck he added to the .building. The ,reversal came during the regular council meeting Dec. 3. After a request by Bayfield council to receive in writing a verbal approval given to both council and Mr. Pemberton -by Health Unit Director Ed Harrison, a telephone call from the unit informed council members that a letter of assent is not forthcoming "until Mr. Pemberton can prove he can do what he says he can do," related Bayfield Clerk Pat Graham. Mrment.. Harrison was not available for com- "I find it very weird the Health Unit can be very adamant one day and then change their minds," said Councilor Jim Quick. Architectural The Health Unit had previously decided the deck did not conform to their policies concerning a structure of this type over a holding tank and council acted on that deci- sion passing a motion directing Mr. Pemberton to remove the deck. The New Ritz owner met with Mr, Har- rison and had apparentlyconvinced him that he could service the Present holding tank and ,any other installed in the future with the deck placed in its present location. Council concurred with Reeve Dave Johnston's statement that "I understood they met with him (Mr. Pemberton) and told him he could (keep the deck according to unit policy), and you (Mr. Graham) were also told abut it." Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Boniferro subsequently met with council requesting the motion be withdrawn until the Local Ar- chitectural Conservation Advisory Commit- tee (LACAC) had studied the plans to deter- mine whether the deck conformed to their By. Doris Hunter At the Little Inn, members and friends of the Huron County Architectural Con- servation Assdciation had gathered for their annual Christmas dinner meeting on Nov. 22. The main dining rom was filled to capaci- ty. Mrs. Elva Metcalfe, who has so ably fill- ed the post of president this past year, pass- ed the responsibility to Mrs. Dorothy Wallace of Goderich, who has assumed this task for a second term. She presented a sug- gested list of activities and events for the coming year, pointing out the objective of the organization, which is to increase peo- ple's awareness of the need to preserve our architectural heritage. It is now 10 years since the group was guidelines.. At that meeting council asked TheNew Ritz owner and his lawyer wheth.O. they understood that the stay of the • a ,was on the condition that a letter of t was received from the Health Unit. Whag they indicated they understood, moverof tile mo -a tion, Councillor Lloyd Huffman; d and seconder Councillor Quick withdraw the motion. With thel letter withheld by the unit, -the motion was reac- tivated. "They wanted our motion withdrawn and they knew it was conditional to the Health Unit letter permitting the deck," said the reeve. "We can't wait for five months while the Health Unit decides what they're going to do," said the reeve referring to the unit awaiting for proof from Mr. Pemberton and the fact that the New Ritz is closed for the winter season, or dinner group gathers formed, the result of the success and in- crusade.
