Purpose and Effect:
This By-law Amendment 23-1996 represents a general
housekeeping of Comprehensive Zoning By-law 12-1985 for the
Township of Grey. This zoning by-law amendment proposes a
number of changes to various sections of text within by-law 12-
1985. In general the majority of these amendments apply to the
entire township. These amendments can be summarized as
follows:
1. Section 1.19.8. is amended to allow for the extension of
existing zoning to include abutting lands that are being
severed and merged on title with the existing parcel for minor
lot enlargement purposes. This provision would remove the
need for a rezoning as a condition of consent for minor lot
enlargements where lands zoned D are being severed and
merged with lands zoned VR1, RC1 or where lands zoned AG1,
AG2, NE1, NE2 or NE3 are being severed and merged with
lands zoned AG3 or AG4.
2. Section 2.144. Is hereby amended by the addition of wording to
clarify that an unopened or unassumed road allowance is
considered a road, street or public highway for the purpose of
setbacks and other applicable regulations.
3. Section 3.4. (non-complying uses) is amended by the addition
of a provision indicating that the legal non-complying status of
an existing building or structure continues even after a
rezoning or severance has been approved. Any non-
compliance that exists prior to application for severance or
rezoning is intended to continue following approval of a
rezoning or severance application. This does not include any

additional parking requirements that would result from a
rezoning or severance.
4. Section 3.11 (Accessory Buildings) is amended to allow for the
location of accessory buildings in the front yard in the AG3 and
AG4 zones. Further, this section is modified to allow for an
accessory building to be no closer to the street line than the
setback required for the main building. For lands zoned AG4,
the front yard setback of an accessory building or structure
shall not be less than 7.6 metres from the front lot line except
for buildings or structures housing livestock which shall
satisfy the setback for the main building.
5. Section 4.2. Is amended by deleting reference to the need for
home occupations and home industries on lands zoned AG1
(General Agriculture) to be accessory to an agricultural use.
6. Section 7. (AG4 Zone) is amended to identify that Section 3.11.
(Accessory Building) should also apply to accessory buildings
on lands zoned AG4 (Agriculture Small Holding).
7. Section 7.5. (Regulations for home occupation and home
industries on lands zoned AG4) Is amended by permitting a
home industry in an accessory structure provided the
minimum lot size is not less than 2,023 square metres. Also, if
a home occupation is permitted within a dwelling the area used
for home occupation purposes shall not exceed 25% of the
total floor area of the residential use or 55 square metres,
whichever Is greater. The additional regulations of Section
2.79 and 2.80 shall apply to the location of home industries
and home occupations in the AG4 (Agriculture Small Holding
Zone).
8. Section 13 (ER1 Zone) Is amended to recognize the existence
of residences, accessory storage buildings and barns on lands
zoned ER1 which were erected prior to the date of passing of
the Township Zoning By-law. Such buildings or structures
may be expanded or enlarged in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4 (AG1 Zone).
9. Section 15 is amended by the addition of the following
provision. On lands zoned VR1 (Village Residential - Low
Density) one accessory building or structure may be
constructed prior to the main building or structure being
erected provided the location of the accessory building or
structure is approptiete to allow for the construction of a
permitted structure in front of the accessory building or
structure, in the future.
10.Key Map 7 of By-law 12-1985 is amended to change the zoning
on part of lot 61, Concession 1, Township of Grey from AG1
(General Agriculture Zone) to AG4 (Agriculture Small Holding)
to recognize the existence of a small holding property that
has existed for some time.

PAGE 8. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1996
CAs meet Wednesday to discuss downsizing
By Janice Becker
Another government-funded
agency will soon display the effects
of budget cutbacks and cost-sav-
ings through restructuring.
The board of directors for the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority (MVCA) approved a pro-
posal at the Sept. 18 meeting, to
discuss the sharing of services with
the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA) and Upper
Thames Valley Conservation
Authority (UTVCA), with further
talks taking place, Oct. 16.
The restructuring of financial ser-
vices will be the first department
affected, said Jayne Thompson,
Acting Communications Co-ordi-
nator for MVCA. "In 1997, the
budget for all three authorities will
be the same as that for UTVCA in
1995."
By putting all financial opera-
tions in one location and handling
them in one department, it can be
run by three staff instead of the
total of five now needed. An audi-
tor has suggested savings of 40 to
50 per cent in the financial depart-
ment alone with restructuring, said
Thompson.
The restructuring of financial ser-
vices will hopefully be completed
be January 1997, she said, if the
other authorities involved also
agree with the proposal. "It is just a
matter of getting all directors on

session which will initiate the com-
munity participation portion of the
program. After the session, each
eligible participant will be inter-
viewed to provide further screening
to determine the options for placing
him or her with a community pro-
gram.
Already, Overboe said, there are
12 potential community sites for
workers, six of which have work
plans in place. "We're working
together with another agency to
address the age-old problem of
transportation," he said, noting the
wide-spread nature of Huron's pop-
ulation and the lack of public trans-
portation means many welfare
recipients have no way of getting to
available work.
Each participant must work the
equivalent hours they would need
to receive minimum wage plus ben-
efits ($7.12 an hour). In the case of
someone drawing $520 a month
would work 70 hours a month for a
community project. While it's pos-
sible that benefits could be cut off
for those refusing to participate,
Overboe predicted only about three
people would be cut off.
The program will hire outside
agencies to try to find employment
for welfare clients and the place-
ment agency will be paid only for
success. For a successful place-
ment, the agency will receive one-
third of the savings to the welfare
system. If someone drawing $1,000
a month on welfare is placed in a
job, the agency will get one-third of
the first six-months' savings, or
$2,000.
There is no new money in the
system, Overboe said. The budget
shows expenditures of just four
dollars more in 1997 than in 1996
but, he joked, "I'll work my damd-
est to get that down."
Noting that 75 per cent of poten-
tial participants are between the
ages of 18 and 35 and have Grade
10 education Pat Down, reeve of
Usborne told Overboe "You have a
real challenge. I was shocked at
those statistics."
side."
The location of the single office
has not yet been determined.
By cutting costs in the adminis-
trative portion of the authorities'
budgets, they hope to keep more
technicians in the field.
It was recommended municipal
planning, community projects and
flood forecasting cutbacks be final-
ized in 1997. Discussions in other
areas are ongoing.
The sharing of services is prefer-
able to amalgamation because it
allows each authority to maintain
