Part of a planning board report
to Huron County Council Friday
morning in Goderich was tied to
one clause in the board of health'
report, and initiated some discus-
sion among county councillors
who were a little dubious about a
planning board recommendation
to the board of health that Lot
Size Standards as outlined in an
amendment to the Official Plan
of the County of Huron Planning
Area be adopted as firm policy.
There was subsequently a sug-
gestion by Dr. Frank Mills, medi-
cal officer of health for Huron,
that the future might hold some
kind of a "central agency"- to
issue building permits.
Members of the land division
committee, the health snit board
and the planning board held a
joint meeting earlier to discuss
problems that arise over lot sizes
when there are requests for
severances and building permits.
The lot size standards as out-
lined in amendment No. 9 of the
official plan are: rural residen-
tial, 11,250 minimum square foot-
age for a standard subsurface
septic tank system and 20,090
minimum square footage for a
raised septic tank system; sea-
sonal residential, 15,000 sq. ft.
and 20,000 sq. ft.; hamlets, 15,000
sq. ft. and 20,000 sq. ft.; and
villages, 8,500 sq. ft. and 17.000
sq. ft. The minimum width for a'
lot is 75 ft.
County council accepted a re-
commendation by the health
board to make these lot size
standards policy across the
county. However it was pointed
out by Dr. Mills that there are
B
existing building iota which are
under the standard sizes and the
county will "have to live with
them as best we can".
Goderich Township Reeve
Gerry Ginn questioned the wis-
dome of issuing building permits
for holding tanks instead of pro-
per septic tanks. He said in his
municipality recently, one pro-
perty owner had pumped a hold-
ing tank onto the ground.
"We don't like this kind of thing
in Goderich Township and I don't
suppose they would like it any-
where else either," said Ginn.
"Surely we must get more con-
trol somehow,"
Mills said the health unit dis-,
courages the installation ofhold-
ing tanks, but admitted that in
some cases and under certain
conditions, holding tanks are
allowed. on the property line and the
"If they are a ►)roved by (]lie health regulations require that a
county health glut, there's rt' 'septic tank be at least 100 feet
much we can dip about tyjtttjlhO 4• 'away from a well. Heasaid that

water supply system, but there is
no way to force a property owner
to hook into that supply.
ing the
plained Ginn.
Dr. Mills advised Ginn that
sometimes it works the other way
around — with the municipality
issuing the building permit and
the county health unit having,
little choice but to issue a permit
for a septic tank system.
"Maybe what we're talking
about here," observed Dr. Mills,
"is a central agency to give out
building permits in the future."
Tuckersmith Reeve Irwin Sil-
lery said that in Brucefield there
is'a lot with an 85 foot frontage,
but the owner cannot install ,a
new septic systems because:: the
well on the adjacent property is

Dr. Iviills conceded that in a
case like that, the owner of the
well could, under present regula-
tions, hold up building on the next
lot indefinitely,
Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson
said in his municipality some lots
are under the required standard
sized lot. He was told that there
will certainly have to be excep-
tions to the rule for some of those
•lots now in existence but that in
the future, the size for building
lots will become standard across
Huron County.
