The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-12-06, Page 22PAGE 22 -GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1979 Getswhat • asked for. • from page 1 Dalton said the Code of Practice was meant to be a guideline for integrating farming and housing but has become an "unwritten law". He said the code and secondary plans were written by "people who want all the rules down in a little book to keep farmers under control". Cottagers aired similar concerns but made no attempt to blame farmers for their dilemna. Milo Garvey, a Tar -onto. lawyer-, --told- council the plan showed little concern for landowners in the township. Garvey said he owned 60 parcels of land along the lakeshore all of which were zoned seasonal residential prior to the township's secondary plan. He said the plan zoned his land natural environment which meant that before he can develop any of it he must get zoning approvals from the township, the county and possibly the Ontario Municipal Board. Garvey made no attempt to hide his displeasure over the zoning change. He told council the new zoning was "morally wrong and I suggest legally wrong" adding it amounts to a freeze on his land. He said the change "smacks of someone from Queen's Park rxoming to Ashfield township and saying here's what I want done with the township with no regard for the concerns and the rights of the people here". Davidson said the natural environment zoning did not necessarily make it as difficult to develop the lakeshore property as Garvey indicated. He said all a property owner had to do was get approval from the county health unit for a septic tank and clearance from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority that development of the land would not create erosion problems and council will rezone the - land seasonal residential. He said by making the area natural en- vironment council was, forcing all seasonal residential development to be compatible with the area and with the law. He said if the lots could not meet the requirements for septic tank installation and erosion control council did not want them developed. Garvey argued that with the zoning change proposed in the draft of the secondary plan his development was open to objection even if it did meet the requirements. He asked Davidson if council could guarantee there would be no objections to cottage development and if it would be as easy as the planner indicated. Davidson conceded that someone could ob- ject to the development but suggested the objection may, not hold up with the OMB if all requirements were met. "Unless you're suggesting council take steps • • to allow the lots to be used despite the fact they could endanger public health or create erosion problems," said Davidson. George B ophy, a Lucknow lawyer, said all ratepayers anted was for council to keep an open mind when writing the plan. He said council could treat each parcel off land on its own merit realizing that a developer has spent money on the land to develop it and now finds thepla-n mak-es the land worthless. Brophy said he represented an owner who proposed a recreational development on a parcel of land away from the lake and faced the same dilemna. The land was now zoned natural environment and the developer required rezoning to go ahead with his plans. He reminded council that a recreational development need not take land out off natural environment. Davidson told the owners that preserving natural environment was a great problem in planning. He said a very small percentage off land in Ashfield was natural environment and it was important to preserve what resource was left. He said everyone wants natural en- vironment "but on someone else's land". He pointed out that once natural environment is lost it does not come back. Brophy did not agree with council's version of protecting natural environment calling it "expropriation without. representation". Dalton, who continuously urged farmers to air opinions on the plan, suggested that council hold another meeting for farmers only. He said the first meeting was devoted to Port Albert, the second session dealt with problems of cottagers and a third could be for farmers. He told council the farmers may be reluctant to get up and speak at this meeting and may be more relaxed at a session for farmers only. He asked if council could consider such a meeting. Ashfield reeve Warren Zinn 'said if farmers had something to say about the plan they have to say it in public session. He said council has provided every opportunity for farmers oto speak and must make a decision on the plan soon. Davidson said another meeting may not resolve much because there will always be problems between agriculture and urban development. He said council must decide which it wants to protect . when it writes the plan. That's the problem with planning in a rural township," he said. "Do you restrict the hamlet or restrict the farmer?" He said council will be looking at a number of ways that perhaps could put as little restriction as possible -on both. Heritage preserves... • from page 1 had been done on the bylaw but added "not enough had been done to pass it". Councillor Elsa Haydon argued that the bylaw is not setting a precedent pointing out to council' that other inunicipalities had passed one. She said when the• plan was first prdposed in Goderich the town was among the first in the province to get involved with heritage plan- ning. But she added lengthy delays and public sessions changed that. Haydon said the heritage plan had received more public exposure than any other planning document pointing, out she had not seen "crowds coming forward to object". Haydon said council had "practically begged people to come and object and got one". Haydon said council was not suddenly becoming restrictive with the heritage. plan. pointing out that through planning legislation the town is already telling property owners what they "can and can't •_do with their buildings". She said the plan encourages owners to protect the facade of their buildings. She added that the plan does not force renovations but merely suggests what can be done with a building once the owner decides to renovate it. Councillor James Magee told council that if anyone doubts what a heritage plan does for a town they should travel to a municipality that has made the heritage plan a bylaw. He said council, through the heritage plan, had a good opportunity to "preserve what heritage we have left in Goderich". Magee said he saw no restrictions in the plan.

NORTH GODERICH 5244511 Councillor Jim Searls said council should not interfere with the owners of the buildings. He said "if a person pay§ their taxes no one has the right to tell them what to do with their property". • Deputy -reeve Bob Allen said he had changed his mind on the heritage plan. He saidhe voted againstl.the .plan because he wanted to make sure everyone affected knew what was hap- pening before council passed the bylaw. Allen told council it was essential the core area of Goderich be preserved. He said the town's "unique Square must be preserved because without it we (Goderich) have nothing". Deputy:reeve Palmer and councillors Profit, Searls and Brian Knights voted against the plan. Council .will pass a bylaw next week which will take 'the heritage plan to its next step. Public sessions and special meetings will now be held to draw up the details of the plan and designate the area and buildings affected by it. Tough times... • • from page l education was preparing a comprehensive report on the effects of declining enrolment which should be ready for the board in May. He said the board would then have to be ready to deal with the situation. He said dealing with declining enrolment may cause trustees to make decisions that would affect their future as trustees. • "I ask you to do what you feel is just and - fair," he said. Outgoing chairman John Elliott told trustees much the same thing in his final remarks. He said the board had been through some tough times in -the past two years but added there • were tough times ahead. • Elliott conceded that it may be unrealistic to raise the kind of public interest trustees would like but added that at least the board will h plan to go public with. • •••••••,••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••®•• • • • • • • • • • • k\\1' ��►../ i' \\ • lei Ill III I _Q rid11111 Ilillllllll i NH1111111141111ll II Till lly Illie.• - AT YOUR CHRISTMAS FOOD STORE. • • RISCO HEINZ FANCY MAPLE LEAF SHORTENING TOMATO CANNED : • JUICE • _ 1L8. 79.4 48FL.OZ. 794 HAMS $3.59 • 0 GOLDSEAL RED SOCKEYE SALMON • i . 69. • BIC C��iTER�4 Ii.c.L!69 (PLAYING CARDS8L.PACK 6DAmiEN COCKTAIL 694 28 FL.
