ounty decision o
airport expected
• from page 1. -
it is not a,' lrge scale development pro-
posal (t:here ar'e.cur'rently two lots and the
proposal is to create three more lots for a
total of five ), • the location of any , new,
residences would be farther away than the;
• existing airport buildings and not as tall as
,well as not being under the direct flight
path of the pr eposed runway, the land is
not being used for agricultural purposes,
the proposal conforms with the Rural
• Residential requirements, development
could. be allowed in this area only and not
in lands to the,east since they are under the..
flight path of the proposed runway, the
. -land has been "on hold" in an agricultural
designation for 10 years and it is time th'e
owners realized their development poten-,
• tial• on the residential lands, and. finally, •
the township couneil'sypports the change,
in addition to the '130 ratepayers who also
support the change. -
•
" Factors' which do not support the propos-
ed change include: this represents inten-
sification of a land use which is historically
• incompatible with and adjacent • airport
land use, intensification and expansion of
• the airport is not compatible with allowing
•further residential expansion, the permis-
sion to- allow development on",,the,;subject
lands encourages adjoining properties in a
similcar.situation°to• be eligible for further
. residential •development, •.: changing the
land zoning is permitting ,urban develop-
nient in rural areas which is contrary to
the. plan,, from a County perspective the
airport provides,.a valuable service to the
. north part of the (County and should be pro-
jected as an existing and' potential
economic 'development source for com-
mercial and industrial growth, the airport
is pursuing the establishment of a new run-
way and is actively seeking •government
•. funding' for the same, and,the Council of
the 'Gown"of Goderich, Airport Committee
and Business Air Services object to the
proposedland•use change.
From this, a recommendation by the
Planning and Development Department
not to approve the applfcatiota was given to
the Planning and Development
Committee.
"The problem that 1 have ... is that there
was a public meeting on Jan. 21 and.orily
two members of ,the Huron County Plann-
ing and Development Committee as well
as Cindy Fisher attended. Since only two
out of the five committee niembers attend-
ed, three others did not hear our applica-
tion or see the picture.
"The committee ruled against us. They
must have decided that Cindy, Fisher was
more important than the Colborne
Township Council and.the 130 people who
approved our application. The Planning
and Development Committee does not
allow the applicant the proper input.
"On Thursday ( tomorrow ), the issue
goes before the Huron County Council as a
whole and is to be approved or rejected. So
County Council as a whole has a problem.
Do they accept one person's opinion ( that
of Huron County Planner Cindy Fisher)
and their own committee's opinion, or do
they ac'cpet Colborne Council and 130
residents decision that this, application
should be approved'
"The'final problem is that we cannot ad-
dress the Huron County Council as a
whole. We can't present the picture, any
legal presentation to present our applica-
•
tion; so what's the purpose of having a
public meeting:"" i)r. C.ampbtll said.
Dr. Campbell noted that should the
County Council. approve the application,
there is a 35 -day objection period. If there
are any objections. then there will be an
Ontario Municipal Board'(OMB I Hearing.
"If the Town of Goderich objects, then
• they will have to pay the cost of proceeding
with their objection," Dr. 'Campbell said.
Rabies incidents
• from page 1
where the animal waa varrinatP(i and
when the vaccination must be repeated. In
addition, a rabies identification tag will
be
repeated, In addition, a rabies iden-
tification tag will be provided for each vac-
cinated dog and cat. The regulation re- .
quires that dogs'and cats be re -vaccinated
on a regular basis. Pet owners who do not
comply with the regulation are subject to a
maximum fine of $5,000.
In the interest of protecting the people in
the community from rabies, the Huron
County Health Unit urges (dog and cat
owners to meet the regulation bs getting I
their dogs arid cats inmmunized•
Inquiries regarding this regulation, ,e
should be directed to this Health Unit.
He added that if County Council does not
support the application,' then "we as ap-
plicants have the right to appeal to the
OMB, which. we will definitely do."
Cindy Fisher, the County Planner who
prepared the report,.said the Planning and
Development Department recommended
to the Planning and Development Commit-
tee that they not support the application •
for land use designation change.
On Feb. 19, the Planning and Develop-
ment Committee met and made a decision
not to support the application, agreeing
with the planning department's recom-
mendation. Because the committee can-
not make absolute decisions, their decision
goes to Huron County Council as- a .
recommendation.
"The Huron County Council will make a
decision' based on the Planning and
Development Committ'ee's recommenda-
tion which is to not support the applica-
tion;" Fisher said. •
"The next problemi have is whether' the
Council of Huron will automatically.. vote
as -their committee has made a recommen-
dation, to vote. I hope they will vote
against their own committee, and support
the Colborne Township Council and the 130
people who supported our application and
pass our:application:' -
I believe they must approve our recom;
metldation 'based on the facts, or vote
against our application based on purely
political. considerations — ,just what the
planner and committee have done -
already," Said Dr.'Carripbell in a prepared '
statement.
