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

An area native, Mary

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.

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

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.
