The residents, most of whom own homes surroun- ding the 0.76 acre lot that will house the four storey 53 unit building at West and Waterloo Streets, were told by county planner Roman Dzus that any concerns residents had about details for the proposed development should be delayed until further information is known. Dzus said the purpose of the first public meeting was to change the designation of the property from commercial to residential and that the next step, zoning of the land, would be the time to air concerns • over the site plan, green areas, parking spaces and other details. Dzus explained that the site chosen for the seniors' housing was ideal for elder. residents because of its proximity to the core area of Goderich: He said many seniors live on limited in- comes and can't afford to own automobiles or use taxi service constantly and the proposed location of the housing units would enable many to walk to The Square for shopping needs. The planner said the town's housing action committee, promoters of the project, were hopeful that-iiy con- cerns neighboring lan- downers had over the developmentcould be, settled locally^. 'He said a con- struction date had been established for the summer and it was hoped, ,that afl obstacles could be cleared 1?y then. He pointed out that any objection raised against -the project may delay it for an "unpredictable amount of time". He explained that ob- jections to the development may have to be dealt with by• the Ontario Municipal Board 1 A AL THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS ROYALE FACIAL TISSUE Reg. 73' Save 1/3 rd. ,..494 TEAPOTS 6 cup $3 99 • CUPS SAUCERS 69a BOXED STATIONERY Asst Colours 8.

He said when the site plan is available for the building all owners within 400 feet of the property will be sent a copy of the bylaw establishing the zoning of the land and will have 21 days to lodge complaints. Those complaints will be handled by the planning board for Goderich and if no resolution can be reached the OMB will be asked to arbitrate. The planner said the senior citizens' housing was badly needed in the Goderich area and that many seniors were "anxiously awaiting" an Opportunity to move into the units. He said there were 69 applications on file for the 53 units and there were only 12 units now available for nearly 2,000 people that could be classed senior citizens. He said the next step would be taken when the consulting architects, Hill and Borgal of Goderich, came'up with a site plan and design for the building. He said soil tests and topographic mapping was now being done on the property to assure that the units can be located there and when that is established the architects will be asked to design -the building. He said when that design is submitted owners will have an op- portunity to • consult with planning board about specific details.
