The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-01-25, Page 180 PAGE 18—GODERIuCH S ,GNAL-STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1979 Restaurant gets appapproval.. - from page 1 changes and the OMB will decide if the restaurant and industry can co -exist. George Parsons, president of Goderich Elevator, could not say y Monday if the matter would go to OMB. He would- only say he was 90 percent sure it wo# but added that was only his opinion. The OMB decision may not necessarily be final. While the winner of the .battle. at OMB level will probably be the overall victor a fourth appeal process is open to either party., If either the Elevator or Gibbons is unhappy with the OMB ruling they can ask the Ontario cabinet, through the minister of housing, to take a look at the matter. The minister will discuss the issue with any other ministries involved, in this case the ministries of the environment and agriculture and food, and the cabinet will decide once and for all on the issue. OBJECTIONS VARY Council heard a deluge of information from both MPC and Gibbons' representatives lawyer Earl Cherniak of London, planner Norman Pearson of London and architects and planners Nick Hill and Chris Borgal. Borgal told council technology was available to Gibbons that could effectivly filter out any -- dust -pollution noise" -and other hy.-,pr..oducts .o.L Goderich Elevator that were considered to be a threat to the survival of the restaurant. He said qualified engineers had investigated air currents at the harbour and had measured levels of noise and dust coming from the grain elevators and had proposed installation of air conditioning equipment to solve the problems. Borgal added that Gibbons had stated from the outset that he was willing to have all the necessary equipment installed on his building -and had not asked that Goderich Elevator make any changes in its operation. Pearson told council that he had reviewed the proposal of Gibbons without having known it had been pre red by professional planners and had arrived at the same conclusions as Hill and Borgal who originally prepared the scheme. Pearson said his conclusions basically amounted to a second opinion of a professional planner and added that he agreed with the project. He said the Goderich harbour was already ,a multi -use area "'of Goderich and "whether you like it or not will continue to be". He said boaters use Snug Harbour throughout the summer, two food outlets are already operating on the waterfront and the town had built a public park adjacent tothe land Gibbons planned to use for his restaurant. Pearson said recreation and multiple land uses are the "order of the day all over Canada". He said Goderich harbour is one of the most beautiful on the Great Lakes and should not be the private domain of anyone. Pearson pointed out that if there was any value to arguments that dust prevented public activity at the waterfront then "all those usds would have to.stop". He added that if any at- tempt was made to stop public use of the Dies in Clinton An area native, Mary Gladys Hallam, died. in Clinton Public Hospital on January 13. She was in her 61st year. Mrs. Hallam was born on. May 29, 1918 to Adam and Emily Steep in Clinton. She was married in 1937 to Arthur Hallam and the couple farmed in Hullett Township before moving to Vanastra in 1972. Along with her Contrary.. • from page 8 Council, used the session to better understand the code and how it relates to municipal politics. Clark Teal, the township appointee on the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital 'board, met with council' to present a report of the year's business of that board. The township paid its share of fire protection costs as outlined under agreements with the towns of Goderich and Clinton. Since the township has land bor- dering both towns it buys protection from depar- tments in both towns. The Clinton agreement costs the township $5,265 and the Goderich arrangement costs $1,300. Building permits were issued -to -Kase Van Den Heuvel to construct a hog barn, H. Baker to'con- struct a broiler barn and Larry Rutledge to remodel a house. husband, Mrs. Hallam is survived by five daughters : Mrs. Grace Cartwright, RR 3, Blyth; Mrs: Evelyn Caldwell, Goderich; Mrs. Lois Rueger, Exeter; Mrs. Betty (Elmer) Debold, RR 6, Goderich; Mrs. Joyce Essery, London. She is also survived by four sons, Arthur of Fort St. John, B.C., Raymond df Goderich, . Ralph of Clinton and Howard at home. Three sisters survive " Mrs. Hallam: Mrs. Alice (Stan) Wilson of London; Mrs. Evelyn (Mervyn) Falconer of R"R 3 Seaforth; Mrs. Grace •(Wilfred) Hamel of Kitchener and two brothers, Mel . of Cam- bridge and Albert of London., She is also survived by 18 grand- children and two great grandchildren. A memorial service was held on January 18 at the Beattie Funeral Home in Clinton with Rev. Norman Pick. in charge. On the request of the deceased, her remains were donated to the University of Western Ontario. •• waterfront there would be a "major public outcry". Pearson told council that he realized that approval of the Gibbons' proposal would mean a change of thinking. He said the harbour has always been considered an industrial area despite recreational uses but pointed out that the official plan that legally designates the land at the waterfront industrial was prepared almost 20 years ago and times change. "Canada is going through pretty drastic changes," he said. "Documents that were considered sacrosanct in the '50's, '60's and '70's are now being looked at in the light of the real needs of people and multi -uses of land for people." Pearson said as a planner, he could see no threat the restaurant posed to Goderich Elevator but he could see how council Gould "seize the opportunity" to make Goderich harbour a classic place. He added that many of the .concerns raised over the restaurant are based on potential problems not actual problems. "There is no harm and a great deal of benefit in dealing with problems as they are not as they ••••._••••••••••••••.••®��‘hamdidi New • ID -WINTER- • • •.........••••••••••••• • CANADA GRADE 'A' EVISCERATED FRYING OR ROASTING • - • FREsH_ _-=T • CH Nible-; ENGLISH SAUSAGE REEN01A1'E rl • Niblets ••• • • CREAM Sr • CORN :-:, • are imagined," he said. MAY BE FORCED TO CLOSE David Barber suggested to couneil that the economic future of Goderich Elevator may be jeopardized by a restaurant. He said council could not continue to consider incompatible land uses in areas where facilities exist vital to the town. He said industry at the harbour makes up a large chunk of the • economic stability of Goderich and if a land use is per- mitted in the. area that threatens that industry council may be faced with a future decision that favors recreation or industry. "It can't be both," he said. - Barber said the food outlets now operating on. the beach were small compared to the restaurant proposed by Gibbons adding that they were seasonal. He said the restaurant could curtail the activities of Goderich Elevator and that prospect could only hurt the town. He called council's decision "pivotal" when the future of the waterfront is considered. DOMINOE THEORY Earl Cherniak told council that with the arguments for and against the project council 411111dhakillid101 Alb would have to apply common sense and the knowledge they have of the town. Cherniak said council had been given the impression that this decision was the "thin edge of the wedge" and that a' decision in favor of the restaurant would create a dominoe theory where Goderich Elevator and Domtar "would • just have to leave Goderich because of an influx of hot dog stands". `t He said the mind boggles at some of the suggested threats that the restaurant creates for industry. He said the suggestion that - Domtar,. which is across the harbour from the restaurant, would be affected by the food outlet. was "really reaching". He pointed out that two food outlets, a harbour area for pleasure boats, a public beach and a public park had existed for years alongside the industry with no problems. Cherniak said he felt the concerns raised by industry were a "straw man that had been placed up thereto try to shoot down". The lawyer told council that what it had to do was consider what quality of life it wanted for this town. He said if a multi -use harbour fitted into the quality of life council desired its decision should reflect that desire. ICKENS SALE: � •••o•'-� ............•••••• • 1 le. 79! • • $1.29 • :• $ 69.
