ZURICH - If everything goes ac-
cording to plan, houses will .soon
.be going up in a new. subdivision in
Zurich. Developers Joe Durand and
Doug Geoffrey attended the inaugu-
' ral meeting of the new Zurich coun-
cil. to discuss their proposal with
_councillors and Huron County plan-
ner Scott Tousaw. •
The development would open up .
23 residential lots in the arca bund
by Highway 84 and Goshen St.
South behind already established
private homes and the new location
of Seylers grocery store. .Access.
would be from the highway. .
A public meeting with nO objec-
tors approved three severances t� in
corporate all. the land into one par-
cel. Joe Kenda, 'wh'o attended the -
public- meeting, was told the long
strip fronting On Highway 84 that
he is retaining will have two zon-
ings or it; the. tont part is core
commercial, and the hack part resi-
dential. •
•
The Rau property being retained
by the owner will also have two
designations; the main front section
will remain, residential, and the
squared -off little piece at the back
will keep its future development
zoning.
Provision for a l0 -foot walkway.
on the long 44 -foot section of the
.property retained by Quimby Hess
to give access to Goshen was dis-
cussed. Councillors refused to con-
sider Tousaw's recommendation that
the deeding of that portion to, the
village .be part of the" severance
agreement.
The two developers feared a condi;
tional severance might hold up pur-
chase of the Hessiand: Durand said
18 people have already expressed in-
terest in the lots. IIthe project
does not go ahead in the near future,
some prospective buyers might -
look elsewhere for residential lots.
Other councillors agreed with Herb'
Turkheiin's willingness to go ahead
and approve the severances, and
"take our chances later".
. Terms of an agreement of subdi-
vision were discussed. Reeve Bob
Fisher said the matter of parkland
will be dealt with by council, hut

Fisher pointed out that recreation fa-
cilities were_avaitahle across the -
road, and Tousaw noted that often
such strips of parkland conic tri he
regarded as the private property of
those abutting the public land: •
