Seaforth Replies
Technical papers prepared by
Huron planners, G. V, Kleinfeldt
and Associates Ltd., and recently
presented to Huron CountyCoun-
cal referred to what they sugges-
ted was a lack of facilities in
Seaforth and as a result dis-
counted the possibility of future
development in the tbwn.
In a letter to the planners,
Seaforth Town Clerk S.W. Wil-
liams points out that the informa-
tion on which their conclusions
had been based was obsolete
and indicated the actions the
town had taken.
This is Mr. Williams' letter:
Re: Technical Reports on County
of Huron Official Plan -
Perusal of the above noted
reports has caused concern that
they may do a disservice to the
Town of Seaforth if some of the
statements, judgements and imp-
lications became embodied in an
Official Plan for the County of
Huron.
That the Town has taken a for-
ward looking stance is indicated
by the fact that (a) the Town has
initiated establishmen a new
sewage treatment faci ity; ) the
Town has commissioned a study
of the most desirable industrial
sites; (c) the Town has commis-
sioned the preparation of an Of-
ficial Plan and (d) the Seaforth
Public Utility Commission has
commenced implementation of
the recommendations in the con-
sultants report on the Town water
system. 'None of the Reports indi-
cate that any significant action
has been taken with regard to
any of these matters. In fact
out-dated and incomplete infor-
mation has been used to place
Seaforth in the lowest category
of growth potential.
The capacity of Silver Creek
to accept sewage treatment plant
effluent will not be a limiting
factor on the growth of the Town
as is suggested in Technical
Report No. 2. The Town of Sea-
forth has been working with 0. W.
R.C. since 1967 toward the est-
ablishment of a sewage treat-
ment facility which will provide
a satisfactory coliform, B.O.D.
and particulate matter level in
the effluent. This facility will
be of sufficient size to handle
sewage flows from all of the
Town of Seaforth and the adja-
cent built up areas as well as
being capable of expansion in
the future. The effluent from this
treatment facility will be dis-
charged into the Hayfield River
twice a year during periods of
high water and there will be no
sewage discharge into Silver
Creek. This project is now in
the final stages of approval and
0.W.R.C. has projected a com-
pletion date of September 11,
1971. In addition, during 1970,
the Town has requested that 0, W,
R.C. make a proposal for the
sewerage of those parts of the
Town not served by sanitary
sewers.
The Seaforth Public Utility
Commission completed in 1969
the installation of a 10" water-
main on Main Street from God-
erich Street to George Street.
Thus the Seaforth P.U.C. has
completed the first of the rec-
ommendations made by James F.
MacLaren in their report dated
March, 1969, on the Seaforth
Water Works system.
In recent years a number
of inquiries have been received
from• industries seeking suitable
locations for new plants. Con-
tact has always been )token when
the Town could make no firm
commitment to provide serviced,
land at a stated price. In order
to avoid this in future the Town
in 1970 commissioned a consul-
tant to determine the most suit-
able location for industrial
development. Out of this study
has come the realization that,
although there is considerable
undeveloped land in the Town
only one small area is really
sujtable for promotion as in-
dustrial land, The Town has,
furthermore, taken ;Ile first steps
leading to acquisition of this
land with the intention of develop-
ing it into a fully serviced indus-
trial site. The suitable land
within the Town Limits is, how-
ever, small in area raising the
possibility that as this develop-
ment proceeds future growth
might well need to extend out
into Township land.
During 1970 the Town has
also commissioned a planning
consultant to prepare an Official
Plan. This will complement the
Restricted Area By-law, which
was passed in 1968, in ensuring
a planned, orderly development
of the Town.
From the foregoing it must
be obvious that the Councils in
recent years have acted to pro-
vide the basis for a progressive
and growing community. In this
they reflect the positive attitude
of our citizens toward the future
of our town rather than the static,
stagnant future implied in your
reports.
It Is our hope that by placing
these facts before you we can
avoid having decisions made in
the drafting of an Official Plan
for the county of Huron, which,
because of incomplete or inac-
curate information, will have an
adverse affect on the future dev-
elopment of the Town of Seaforth.
Some men like the new,
wide ties. Other fellows have
wives who won't sew buttons
on their shirts.
