The final request for
commercial 'status in the
area surrounding Wellington
and Main came 'from Jerry
Mathers of Jerry Mathers
Typewriters.
While there were several
requests for a change to
commercial • in the
Wellington and Main area,
Ron Cottrell of the Junction
said that if the area is
switched to a commercial
designation, it should be
• zoned highway commercial.
Cottr ll expressed concern
- about strip development
taking place and that certain
varities of businesses should

designation in the.area cited
by- Cottrell would not be -
possible as the lot sizes were
not of sufficient size. Sim-
mons recommended the area

mercial.
Dobbs slated a number of
years ago town 'council had
.designated the Wellington
street area commercial and
that people who had built
homes in the area -knew the
commercial properties were
there.
"The businesses just didn't
crop up over night," Dobbs
added. •
While Cottrell adm ted e
was in error Sugg a

add the Main Street corner,
the downtown businessmen
said "That area is
predominantly- • residential,
cclttitrary to what these
people say.'
Jay Campbell, .a resident
of Hill street said he could

retail outlets in the
Wellington street area as

He suggested that a.

, Local solicitor Gerry Gray
speaking op behalf of the
businessman's association
expressed concern aboUt the •
amount of commercial
space, north of Thames Road
in the area near the shopping
mall.
Gray sa[e if{ appears the
area had been extended
approximately an extra 150
feet east of Andrew street
which was mora than had .
been preyiously allotted. •
Shaw explained that the
zoning map was inaccurate '
to a certain degree and that
only 60 feet of extra com-
mercial designation. had
been given to the owners of
the mall, Hawleaf
Developments. He said one
piece of property cannot be
split in terms of zoning and
that the designation is ex-
tended to the nearest
property line.
With regards to the area
bounded by Thames Road
and Walper street and
designated highway -com-
mercial, Gray felt this was
too large an area.
Shaw replied that there
seemed to be a need for more
commercial land in that area
and that they were acceding
to the requests of the -owners'
in the above area.
Gray.relilied that this did •
not take into consideration
the opinion of other land
owners in the town and that a
