Allan Westcott, Exeter, who owns the golf course had applied to the planning - board to amend the County Official Plan and have the land redesignated golf course and the 39 lots adjacent to the . golf courge redesignated residential. Planning Board, in their recommendation, pointed out that the agricultural designation does, not restrict the operation of the existing golf course. Usborne Township council and the Huron Planning Department do npt 'op- pose the continued operation of the golf course. The recommendation .according to the planning board does attempt. to .prevent the proposed strip residential development from oc- curring and to prevent an increase in the restric- tions on the surrounding agricultural land. County planner Gary Davidson told council, to designate the land surrounding -t•he golf" course as residential, would seriously restrict the agricultural land use in the area. The en- croachment factor, if the land is • designated agricultural would be 1,010 feet from the golf course. If the land is designated ..golf course and residential, the en- croachment factor will increase to 2,000 feet and move -auto, the surrounding farmland: Murray Daw.son, deputy -reeve of Usborne, told council if the land were designated residential, it would infringe on 16 farms because of the buffer zone Turn to page 15 WALKERS SPEED & CUSTOM PRESENTS MIDNIGHT MADNESS FRL, MAY 9th P.M.
