and approved of it.
Thea rea-the Subdivision is.

' developed„ for housing ac�.
Cording to I r. Jerry. He Said
bis land and the land west of
Highway 21 had', all beep
allowed to , 'develop as
residential prior to the plan
being drawn up.
.:He added. that the land west
of the highway was zoned
residential on the secondary_
,plan which appeared to be.
"another step to 'hamstring''
me since my land is zoned
agricultural.
The ma'eting : with council
according to Mr. Jerry would
permit him to submit the plan
of subdivision according to its
1858 proposals and if. that
were unacceptable it could be
Changed to conform to
today's housing practices.
Council promised to discuss
the matter with Mr. Jerry.
before . making. any final
decision.
Bob Fellner, an -engineer
from. London, requested
council to give hin1i time to
prepare'a subdivision plan for
their perusal for land "bet -
.ween Sunset Golf and Sports '.
Centre and Lake Huron. M -r:
Felines said • he,' ,like Mr,
Jerry, wishes to establish a
subdivision on' his land
consisting. of . permanent...
homes and luxury. cottages-.
He 'said the secorlda.ry pan„
designation' of his. land does
not. conform with what - I
planned when I purchased the
land;16:.years 'ago". .
Mr, Fenner said' he owned
acresr•tetween the golf ' .'•
course: and the-lakeshere and'
that he planned, to'develop_
along the same,lines as
Southco^tt Pins, in Grand
Bend: .He said the property
•had- some lake bank ; and .a;
ravine on it that heplanned to
preserve in the natural state.
He said about six units per
acre was the density figure he
had in. mind adding that in
three or four weeks he could'
meet with. council With a
complete subdivision plan for
their perusal: Cohncil'said
they. would- give him the
opportunity of stating his
case before any .final 'plan
wasadopted. .
Other • questions • arising
from the plan dealt mostly
with individual zonings 'that
resulted from confusion over
a poor printing job on the
secondary plan circulated to
land owners.
