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. A P cake Ho e Street 0 AY, AUGUST 26 '78 d. sauH ,ge far eked ket DONT ;MI I Festival Queen Contest Dance in the Arena Saturday night THIS EXC "ING► EVENI1 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.
