A public meeting was held with about 20 people attending. The Radcliffe Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning which would be built off of Saintsbury Line, south of the Lucan Tim Hortons brought several comments and questions to the floor. Also on the agenda was the rezon- ing application submitted by Lock/Pugh/Benner. Mike Radcliffe was in attendance, represented by Brad Bain of Lerners. Planner Ted Halwa reviewed the proposed plan of subdivision and rezoning which includes 42 lots with the centre `block' containing two four -unit single family residences. Each unit is about 1,200 square feet with two car garages. Halwa suggested the committee and council look into a pedestrian walkway between Street "B" and Nicoline via the 66' road allowance. Bain, representing the developer says they are not particularly in favour of the pedestrian walkway as they see too many potential prob- lems with it including lighting, priva- cy and liability. Brian Munro, a neighbour, opposes the pedestrian walkway idea. Other members of the gallery agreed. Concerns were also raised regard- ing stormwater management since a lot of water collects on the subject property. Neighbour Richard Plokaar was one of them, speaking of stormwater management concerns, that the site will be too congested and that down- wind smoke will impact his property with 42 more wood burning fire- places or chimneys. Several people said they would like fencing put up separating the devel- opment from their property. SH novice champs EXETER — The South Huron Sabres local league #1 team travelled to Lambeth March 19 and came home as Lambton Middlesex league champions (division C). In seven of eight playoff games, the Novice team came out on top. Superb goaltending by Paige Lightfoot and Owen Kuranyi led the team culminating in a 4-0 shutout for Kuranyi in the final game. The teams' defensive pairings of Ryan Neeb/Denver Homuth, Mitchell Miller/Harrison Winters and Hayden Bowman/Jared Denotter crippled the Lambeth offence time and again. Offensively South Huron had goals in the series from every single line. Forwards Jacob Hrudka, Bradley Regier, Dillon Haist, Josh Stanlake, Nathan McDonald, Brody Reid and Patrick Medd really notched up their playmaking, rushing and passing at every opportunity. Kean Dwyer had a strong series against Lambeth when he was able to put his speed on the breakaway to good use. Hard work, determination and excellent teamwork were the keys to this teams success. Coaches Derrick Leenders, Bill Reid, Mike Regier and Shannon Hrudka provided the pos- itive motivation that ensured a well-deserved league champion for this year's Novice LL #1 team. Questions were also asked of what kind of impact the additional traffic will have on the Saintsbury Line Main Street intersection, which already is a difficult area to make a left hand turn, according to a mem- ber of the community. Halwa commented that the density of the proposal is low at five units per acre. Pressure is put on the township to utilize the best and highest use of the land. Durk Vanderwerff planner for Middlesex County says although they are technically the approval authori- ty on issues like the pedestrian walk- way, the local municipality gives direction. Halwa is considering all input from the public. A decision will be made by council soon. Charge for squealing tires EXETER — Huron OPP received several complaints of a motor vehicle driving erratically and squealing its tires along Main Street in Exeter March 25.
