Discuss Official Plan For Lucknow Mac Campbell, director of the Bruce South Planning Board, at- tended the regular meeting of Lucknow Village Council last week to discuss planning for the village. The Lucknow Council is present- ly seeking proposals from consult- ing engineers and planners regard- ing the establishing of an official plan for the village. Mr. Campbell had quickly in- spected the village that evening and plans were made for he or someone from his department to return to Lucknow "in the near future to inspect the village in a more detailed manner. It has been made quite clear by the Bruce South Planning Board that each municipality must con- sider an official plan and zoning in order to create orderly develop- mentfor the future, both resid- ential and commercial. In summing up; Mr. Campbell recommended that the village consider the hiring of a consultant to prepare an official plan and that they pass a deeming bylaw and a restricted area bylaw. Under a deeming bylaw, a lot Cannot be automatically sold. Consent would have to be obtained from the county land division committee or the seller would have to submit a plan of subdiv- ision. While the Lucknow Council plan to secure prices from several firms of engineers before making a decision, an estimate presented at last week's meeting indicated that the cost for preparing an official plan for the village was estimated at $8000 with another $3000 - $4000 additional for a zoning bylaw.
