County council learned Friday that it could spend $25,000 and save the county housing industry mil- lions of dollars in interest, Months of waiting for ap- proval• for housing projects in the county can be avoided and huge interest payments • on money raised by developers' tol finance those projects can be saved ac- cording to a- report given council by the county planning board. . Theiproject basically turns approval_powerlor housing projects in • Huron - County, over to county council. Any projeets now planned for .the county have to go to the ministry of housing for final approval and under the • . suggested system final • approval, if no objections to the development are lodged, • would rest with council. The bulk of ,the., savings woul& be •rea lized by avoiding the 'provincial. ap- . • provalMany plans clear the red tape of planning locally only to sit on the desk of the minister of housing for months. Developers are not permitted to start building Until final approval is given by the province atid end up waiting an undetermined' amount of time. SAVINGS County planner Gary Davidson said the approval by cOuncil could result in "enorrnous savings'". He said it could chop six months off the waiting period that a thorn in the sides of developers. He said the savings may be passed on to consumers meaning slightly cheaper housing but pointed out that any decision to, pass those savings on would be made by developers.

He said a junior •planner would have to be hired by the county bt the fait of 1979 to permit some- one in the department to take over responsibilities created by the approval takeover. • in a report to council the planning board said the total cost of the change would be about S25,000.. The initial • setup of the system will cost about S1,500 and the salary of the junior planner to be _hired is about_116,000. The_ remainder of the money will be used to set up the administration process to be, followed locally. -EAGER '--The-ministry of housing -is -- eager enough to give local governments approval of developments to give those governments grants to set up systems- to allow those •approvals to be given. Ministry- official irriiratari Mar gratin are available from the province for such a move locally. In its report planning board said the grants have only been suggested and no firm commitments or amounts have been given by the ministry. The board said the transition could be budgeted for over two years suggesting that $10,000 in 1979 would be enough to get the project off the gfound with the remaining costs to be budgeted for in 1980. SHILVED The board suggested that the system' be shelved 'for 1979 but that an in- vestigation be continwid as • to subsidies which may be -available should- the -comity' assume responsibility in 1980 Davidson said the firm ncial realization of such a move . would not be known until the ,county could determine how • much the development in-, dustry .spends waiting", • ituaries KENNETH R.
