(Staff Photo) 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.
