McCabe, Administrator Town of Goderich, 57 West St. Goderich ON N7A 2K5 (519) 524-8344 PURPOSE AND EFFECT: This By -La* changes the zoning on two properties — Lot 417 and Park Lot 416, Registered Plan 457,, in the Town of Goderich — known municipally as 23 and 29 Britannia Road East. The two properties are currently zoned as Residential Medium Density (R2), and each contains a single detached dwelling. The purpose of this rezoning is to create a new building lot fronting onto Picton Street East, which is proposed to contain a multiple attached dwelling with a total of four dwelling units. The proposed R2-12 (Residential Medium Density — Special) zoned property would permit the following: reduced building setbacks for the front and rear yards, and a reduced lot area. a reduced number of parking spaces from the required 6 spaces to 4 spaces in the front yard reduced privacy yard depths from the required 6 m to 4.3 m, and an increase in lot coverage from 40% to 48%. The propsed rezoning to Residential Medium Density — Special Zones (R2-10 and R2-11) will also recognize reduced rear yard setbacks from the required 8 m to 4.1 m and 5.9 m respectively from the existing dwellings to the proposed new rear lot line. This By-law amends Zoning By-law 38-1985 of the Town of Goderich. Key Maps showing the location of the lands to which this by-law applies are shown on the following pages entitled Schedule 'K.

Young actors shine light on real-life woes on stage big hit with the full audience, Scott reported, adding that the relaxed atmosphere was a welcome change that helped the girls deliver "outstanding" performances. "I'm always blown away by the amount that these girls grow as actors in the program," said Scott. "It's amazing to watch them develop their skills and talents while forming close re- lationships and having fun. They really seem to love what they're doing more and more all the time." And SF numbers are growing, too. In its second year, the company has doubled m size, and registration for the 2010 class is almost filled. "Next year, unfortunately I'll only be able to take on a few more students," she said. Going Pro is a program developed and de- signed by Scott through the Serious FUN! Theatre Co. It has been designed to train youth and provides the skills necessary for becoming professional actors. According to Scott, the focus of the program is on teach- ing students to become independent actors. The program is based on the techniques she learned as a theatre student at Fanshawe Col- lege in London. The Going Pro program consists of a 40 - day summer training session, combined with weekly privates and monthly group sessions. AND THE WINNERS ARE: Competing at the 83rd annual Kiwanis Fes- tival of the Performing Arts in Stratford, the Serious FUN Going Pro students took home more statues than they could cavy. 23 students claimed a third place nod in their categories, and 23 took second. Twenty-four students grabbed first -place in their categories and an impressive four walked away with a first -place with distinction award. Students Kathryn Peach and Kelsey Falconer moved on to represent the Kiwanis Festival at the provincial level in Peterborough May 5. Dominique Milburn signal -star staff Through the dim glow of candlelight and occasional sip from coffee cups, audience members at The Livery Sunday were treated to a one -of -a -kind experience — a glance into the minds of young girls through expressive theatre. The Serious FUN! Theatre Company's Go- ing Pro program staged its second Speaks Out: The Actor's Competitive Showcase May 31, and it was peppered with a selection of highlights from their recent Stratford Kiwan- is Festival submissions, including musical theatre, modem, comedy, Shakespeare and speech arts. Rounding out the local performances this year was an original short by local playwright Brianna Brown, a Bayfield native who made her first splash into the expression of grow- ing pains when she paired up with the Serious FUN (SF) troupe to pen The Line, a look at the different shae4s of grey in gauging peers and defining you' ,,elf. Brown took part in workshops with the SF group, made up of local girls aged seven to 16, and through a series of writing and drama ex- ercises, asked the girls "What would you say to the world if you could say anything?" Compiling the data, Brown then sculpted an honest look at the way the girls look at each other. "It was all about the shades of grey that take shape when looking at kids roles; good girls vs. bad girls, who defines that and the result," said SF founder and director Shannon Rose Scott. "It asked where do you draw that line, and I think, resulted in the audience and the kids being more aware of each other;- it's not just black and white when you look at other people. It was an interesting way for the kids to portray that to the adults." The coffee-house.,style performance was a
