Suiches, consul- tant and author of a study of economic development oppor- tunities, commissioned by the village and the county, was at the chamber meeting to ex- plain the study.

Times -Advocate, March 28, 1984 Page 11 • Objection to senior project Progress towards building a senor's apartment in Grand Bend hit a small snag Monday night when an objection was raised by a landowner near the proposed site on Sauble Road. A public meeting was held to hear comments from pro- perty owners in the area. Those with property, within 400 feet of the designated pro- perty, had been notified by mail that zoning changes and an amendment to the official plan of the village would be necessary in order to pass On- tario Mortgage and Housing Corporation standards which would comply to the village building codes. The objection came from James Jaquith, London, who owns property abutting the proposed site. He objected to both the zoning changes and the amendment to the official plan, stating that he felt the development would devalue his property. He stated that his plans were to build a home valued at about $125,000 on his lot in the future. The objection, if pursued, _ when Grand Bend Council passes by-laws for amend- ments for re -zoning and for the official plan, would be heard before an Ontario Municipal Board representative. Chairman of the building committee, Rev. James Sut- ton, explained that the 24 to 26 unit apartment complex would not be more than two storeys.He said that the only additional expansion would be 12 units to the south, and that required set -backs and green - buffer areas would be strict- ly enforced because of CMHC standards. Rev. Sutton expressed the hope that the project might be completed in 1964. Reeve, Bob Sharen, commented that with an OhB hearing, the pro- ject could be delayed by six months. John Richard Manore, who owns land in the immediate area, questioned expansion on lands privately owned to the south of the project. He also asked if Sauble Road would be upgraded with sidewalks and street lighting. To his first question, Sutton stated firmly, that if more seniors' apartments were necessary, an entirely dif- ferent site would be chosen. To the question of upgrading Sauble Road, Sharen said it would be considered as part of the long range plans for village expenditures. The committee has been working for almost a year to secure land and to secure ap- proval from CMHC. With CHMC approval, mortgage rates would be underwritten. With about 90 positive response to a survey distributed by the committee, CMHC calculated that a possible 38 apartment units would be viable for seniors in the village area. The land chosen on Sauble Road would meet all re- quirements with the purchase of small pieces of abutting property and re -zoning. The amendment to the official plan would fill a loop -hole in the plan concerning parking regulations. The plan states that 1.5 parking spaces must be provided for each unit in medium density develop- ment. The amendment.would allow one parking space per unit for a seniors' complex. It was explained that the site was chosen because of its proximity (in walking distance) to most village ser- vices. It was further explain- ed that most of the seniors in- terested would not be driving cars. The proposed property although abutting the Grand Bend Medical Centre, on Gill Road, would have only one en- trance from Sauble Road. From there, it is a five minute walk to the Post Office, a drug store, the library and two banks. Grand Bend grocery stores have maintained a ser- vice of order -by -phone and delivery over the years for seniors.
