A new procedural twist now raises the possibility that an Ontario Municipal Board hearing scheduled for next Thursday might be postponed, delaying a finaldecision. on the future of the park by at least -several months. The hearing was to have considered objections against a town, bylaw rezoning the park for the seniors' housing, and handed down a final decision on the ' matter. However early this week solicitors for the town and the objectors said they are con- sidering tackling the rezoning in a different manner, in which case the hearing would probably be adjourned to a later date. Robert Campbell, solicitor for a group of Wingham businessmen objecting to the residential development . of the park, said Monday that in his opinion the town was proceeding incorrectly in trying to amend by bylaw the original 'zoning bylaw, which itself hasn't yet received final approval. He suggested it would be better to amend the town's official plan and then pass a 'free-standing', bylaw, which wouldn't depend on the original zoning bylaw. He said he had passed this suggestion along . to the town solicitors and they were considering it. Alan Mill, acting for the town, said Tuesday morning the situation was "still in limbo" and there was a possibility the OMB hearing Business assoc. affirms O os it ion to apts. i park The Wingham Business hire counsel was made after Association last week renewed the association was unable to its decision to oppose find anyone within its ranks residential development in willing to pranent its case to Cruickshank Park, setting the board. ee:do onme norhire, a Frcd nem ' outlined the representative to take Its objections which he and objections before the Ontario several other businessmen Municipal Board. around the park will be However in light of, in- presenting to the board, and dications that the OMB he noted they had already hearing set for next Thursday hired a lawyer to act for them. could be postponed (as out- He said he thinks the lined in a separate story this business community must week), it may have to wait a take a stand on where it wants while before its case is heard. commercial development and The proposed redevelop- where residential develop- ment of the park was the main ment iihould go. topic of discussion at the '''I wouldn't put my garage association meeting last in the middle off a senior morgdov night.

He said he planned to contact the OMB to see what it wanted to do. Gary Davidson of the Huron County Planning Department, who has acted as the town's advisor on planning matters, is on holiday this week and could not be contacted, but Roman Dzus, another member of his department, said sometimes it's hard to be sure just what procedure a rezoning should follow. The lawyer for the objectors may or may not be right about not amending a bylaw which hasn't been approved yet, he said, but it semis the town's official plan must be vague enough that'he has convinced the town's lawyer to go ahead and clarify what public uses are permitted. It's important in a hearing before the municipal board to be able to show that the proper procedure has been followed, he added, and it's better to make sure at the start that things are being done correctly. He noted the town could ask that the scheduled hearing be postponed, but it would be up to the hearing officer to make the final decision. He could decide to go ahead with the wearing in anycase. hard look at his operation, and some people had mane-' If the hearing were post- poned, there would still be another chance for people to object to the proposed change in use of the park, in which case the matter would end up back in the lap of the OMB, he said. Mayor William Walden, the person most active in pressing for the additional seniors' housing, said he still favors building it in a section of the park and he is upset to see it held up over "a technicality". He said he was told the new procedure would mean a delay of two months, but his own feeling was it could set things back a year, "The only thing I'm worried about is that the government will say to hell with us,'"he said. noting this was to have Bob Middleton noted he was substantial cash donati ns on the planning board when ,toward it.
