Discuss heritage plan
A group of business people
met with Mrs. Hunter,
chairman of the Bayfield
Architectural Conservancy
Advisory Committee and
Mr. Nicholas Hill, ar-
chitect, to discuss the
Heritage District Plan for
. Main Street and Clan Gregor
Square as it has been
proposed by Mr. Mill.
Regret was expressed that
many of those with questions
on the plan were not in at-
tendance. None the less,
many of the problems with
the plan as it stands, were
brought forward.

It was stated that the
village council is the
authority and makes a
decision whether to send this
plan to the Ontario
Municipal Board as an
amendment to the already
established secondary plan
for the Village of Bayfield.
When the plan is sent it
would be well documented
and both arguments pro and'
con would be stated.
Mr. Hill told the meeting
that he has presented some
ten heritage conservation
plans. Procedure is to hold
public hearings where
support for the plan and
opposition to it, both are
brought forward. Particular
issues are then brought to
council. If the plan is ap-
proved despite dissent,
hearings by the Ontario
Municipal Board may be
scheduled. These hearings
may be instituted by groups
or individuals.
Mrs. Hunter explained
that a petition had been
presented to council
requesting the activation of
the L.A.C.A.C. which was
appointed in 1977 at the
request of many in-
dividuals. Four of the
business people on the Main
Street were invited to sit on
the committee but did not do
so to the regret of all. She
also noted that the bulk of the
residents of the area appear
to be in favour of the plan,
with some alterations, and
that the merchants not in
favour form only a small
part of the Village.
It was also noted that
zoning places limitations on
everyone, but without the
zoning by-laws, any kind of
business could open its
doors throughout the Village,
creating general havoc.
Mrs. Dick explained the
concern of the merchants
was that restrictions placed
on their properties might be
especially felt at the time of
selling.
Mr. Hill replied that a
yearly evaluation of this plan
is intended and that public
hearings are most essential.
This is clearly stated on page
30 of the plan under the
heading "Public Par-
ticipation."
Mrs. Dick presented the
fears of the absent members,
summing them up as.
basically; 1. the values of
their properties and 2. the
cost of restoration.
Mr. Hill stated that most of
the properties designated
have obvious value for
maintenance. Others need
not change now, but could be
changed in the future:
Mr. Rogers asked whether
Bylaw VII as drafted ex-'
ceeds the Heritage Act and
Mr. Hill promised to
research the relationship of
the Heritage Act and the
Planning Act.
Mr. Lance mentioned that
conservation is a national
movement, not restricted to
Bayfield, economically it has
proved the redemption of
many villages where
restoration has become
contagious.
The meeting closed with a
plan to release the plan to the
rest of the residents of the
designated area and to
request all the affected
people to meet once more on
Wednesday August 23 in the
Town Hall at 9 p.m.
Persona Is,
Mrs. Beatrice O'Donnell of
Downpatrick,' Ireland will
shortly return to her home
after having spent the past
month as the guest of her
sister and brother-in-law
Vera and George Gregg.
