In response to a question about the policy on mobile homes. Fisher said singles will be confined to a mobile home park. Pitched roofs will still be required for doubles erected in the village, to make them compatible with the surrounding residences. Rick Fisher, a partner in Fisher Abattoir, wanted to know what pro- cedure was required to change the abattoir's zoning from commercial to industrial. Tousaw explained that to change the present legal nonconfor- ming designation would require amendments to both the plan and the zoning bylaw. These proposed changes would mean public meetings, circulation of the amendments and .county approval as part of the pro- cedure. Speaking as a private businessman, Bob Fisher announced his intention of pursuing this matter further. Gordon Philips, who had driven from Mississauga to attend the meeting, questioned the absence of designated green space on the current land use map showing subdivision land he owns in the village's southeast corner. "That's only after you build", Fisher remarked. The Reeve went on to elaborate on the fact that most vacant land for "Zurich has a lot going for it", HuronCounty planner Scott Tousaw assured about 30 residents who turn- ed out Tuesday for a public meeting which provided a forum for comment on revisions to the village's secondary plan.

Fashion Show A very enjoyable evening was had by all those who attended the fashion show at the town hall last Thursday which was tastefully presented by" the commentator Nancy McNab who designed the "Laz-Ease" fashions. Models did a great job also. private developers, and people wishing to build homes in the village can't obfain suitable lots at an reasonable price. Fisher summed up the problem as "lots of land... no place Lo grow". After all questions had been answered, Wilder stressed the impor- tance of comments and opinions from residents of the municipality. He said anyone may call the county planning department with concerns about plan- ning, and their names will be kept confidential. Noting that sometimes the planning department makes deci- sions because no one else will, Wilder pointed out -"It's your plan; you will have to live with it..for the next five years". Zurich residents will have another opportunity to raise any questions about the secondary plan review when another public meeting is scheduled early in 1987. Skater to compete in Burlington For those who are not aware, our club will be represented for the first time, at the 1986 Western Ontario Sec- tion Championships held in Burl- ington on November 27, 28 and 29 by Zurich's own Kathy Merner.

The club would- like to offer their congratulations and their support for this up -coming event, by presenting her with a Zurich F.S.C. sweat shirt. Congratulations, Jim Denome, President. .
