Wayne Caldwell of the county planning department attended last Tuesday's meeting of council to go over the final changes to the township's secondary plan before it is submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Muni- cipal Affairs and Housing for approval. The QMB hearing con- cerned the question of whether or not a Christian high school can locate in the area directly behind the subdivision in East Waw- anosh. The hearing con- cluded last November and to date, the board has not made any decision. East Wawanosh council and a group of Hutton Heights residents fought the proposed school on the grounds that it would create a safety hazard due to the increased traffic flow into the site and because it would take agricultural land out of production. Currently the area in question is zoned urban, just like the other three hamlets in the township, Belgrave, Whitechurch and Auburn. But an urban designation would open the subdivision up to a wider variety. of development from in- stitutional to commercial to industrial uses, which is exactly the sort of . thing' Council does not want. A residential zoning of Hutton Heights would allow only residential development of the subdivision. ' • There also is' the question of the strip of land directly behind the subdivision on the other side of Crawford street which currently is un- developed but zoned urban. Council also will decide upon the fate of that strip after it has received the OMB ruling. It may zone the strip residential or put it back into a restricted agricultural zoning. Members also decided to add a stipulation to the secondary plan stating that institutions require an amendment to the plan to locate in residential areas. FEDERATION VISIT Tony McQuail, president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and Barry Mason, president of the East Wawanosh federation, attended the meeting to updatuncil on some of the federation's current projects. Mr. McQuail also asked council if it would consider tacking a levy for the federation onto each tax bill or pay the federation a grant of the same amount. The levy system would require more administration work for the clerk -treasurer because she would have to add the levy amount to each bill and issue any rebates. Council did not come to any decision on the matter at last week's meeting. A zoning bylaw was passed at the meeting changing the zoning of a 1.67 hectare parcel of land to agricul- tural -commercial, from agri- cultural. The applicant for the zoning . change, Ron Kingsbury, originally had wanted 2.6 hectares, but council scaled down the size of the parcel so it would not conflict with any surround- ing farming operations. Mr. Kingsbury hopes to construct a welding - machinery repair shop at the site. The bylaw now must be circulated to landowners within 400 feet of the site. If the have any objections, they must do so within 35 days before the bylaw is enac ted. A stop -work order issued to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority last month was lifted by council. Members had been con- cerned that a renovation project underway on a building owned by the MVCA in the township had not been authorized properly. An engineer has given his stamp of approval to the project, so council declared it could continue. This year's tax penalty on overdue taxes and taxes in arrears is one and one- quarter per cent per month or 15 per cent per year. Finally, Mark Robinson, Karen Montgomery and Patrick Cull won first, second and third prize respectively in a contest sponsored by the township to design a logo for East Wawanosh. All three are students at the East Wawanosh Public School. Honorable mention goes to: Linda Versteeg, Darcy Lamb, Robin Wellstead, Angela and Jason Coultes, Bryan Ramsey, Jana. Vin- cent and Jim Fenton.
