Times Advocate, 1984-08-08, Page 3BIT OF SUNSHINE — The Toronto Argo Sunshine girls had four members on hand to help the Exeter Co -Op open its gas bar on the weekend. Some male drivers were seen going through the lineup more than once during the girls' visit. Osborne zoning hearing. Continued from front page Only one objection was detailed for the Huron Motor Products proposal, that com- ing from Flora and Jack Doerr, whose property is located beside the proposed site of the new dealership facility. They expressed concern that their property would be devalued through the development and suggested it was "poor planning" to Exeter sewer Continued from front page The zoning bylaw also re- quires that parking be established at the rear of the four-plex, but Parker has ask- ed that parking be allowed at the front portion of the pro- perty. It is required that the parking area be paved. When it came time for a vote on the decision to require •the property owner to provide the storm drain, Fuller was joined in support of the mo- tion by Councillors Morley Hall and Bill Rose. Josephson remained oppos- ed and was joined by Coun- cillors Dorothy Chapman and Ben Hoogenboom in that regard, while Reeve Bill Mickle decided to abstain. Shaw ruled that the absten- tion was a vote in the affir- mative under the town's pro- cedural policy and he declared the motion carried. change good residential land to commercial, noting that some planning is often under- taken to accommodate the present only. There was also concern ex- pressed over drainage, the ef- fect on their water supply from a Targe septic tank system, winter snow removal' and safe travel into their laneway. Cliff Marsden, who ap- peared at the public meeting and supported both proposals, noted that Doerr himself runs a commercial business from his home. The MF Builders executive went on to tell the hearing that the area suffers in that Exeter solicits industries but has not secured a land bank at affordable prices for those in- dustries which may be in- terested in the town. He said the two zoning changes would provide an op- portunity` to bring industry and income into the area. He termed them "reasonable developments, in reasonable ways", adding that the concerns expressed by those at the meeting were adequately covered by laws. Marsden explained that serviced industrial land in Goderich can be purchased for as low as $9,000 per acre, while the cost in Exeter in some locations is in the neighborhood of $50,000 per acre. Ilamather told Murphy that he would get possession of the property on October 1 if the zoning change is approved and Marsden advised that his firm would hope to have the new facility erected within three months. It is anticipated that the necessary site plans will be available in time to present to Usborne council for a decision on August 14. r.oaany_domaea nears $20,000 Three injured in collisions Three people sustained minor injuries and property damage amounted to just under $20,000 in four collisions investigated by the Exeter OPP this week. All three injuries were sus- tained in a two -car crash on Highway 83 west of Dashwood around 3:30 p.m., Sunday. A car driven by Mary Orr, RR 3 Dashwood, was pro- ceeding east and passed a vehicle to the right as the lat- ter was stopped making a left turn. The Orr vehicle went out of control as it came back on Works staff gets praise The town's works depart- ment came in for some lofty praise this week from a local resident who tried unsuc- cessfully for almost four days to have a plumber look at a plugged sewer problem. "I guess that's why we have public servants and why private business people sometimes go broke," wrote Marilyn Hohner in a letter to council extending her thanks to the assistance of the works department. After trying unsuccessfully to get a plumber, Mrs. Hohner called Joan Kells and the latter notified Ross Mathers, who was on stand- by duty. The ratepayer said Mathers arrived within one half hour to help with the problem. the highway and struck a westbound vehicle driven by Madeline Devillaer, Sarnia. Both drivers and a passenger in the Sarnia vehi- Wants more promotions Exeter should be more visi- ble at area festivities and special occasions, claims Councillor Bill Rose. At Tuesday's council ses- sion, he said the weekend parade at Dashwood Friedsburg Days had several floats from other area municipalities, but not Exeter. He said the town should be promoted at such events as a good place to live and work. "We have to do some pro- moting in our own area," he concluded. Councillor Ben Hoogen- boom said it was a "fan- tastic" idea and reported that he had received many plaudits after putting in a commercial float at the Hen- sall centennial. In another related matter, Reeve Bill Mickle reported that some replies had been received from the public regarding what types of business they would like to see established in town. He urged that other ratepayers fill in the form which was sent out with the tax notices in an effort to assist the BIA and economic development committee. or J CABBAGE PATCH PARADES — Parading at Granton Fun Day, Saturday were.

Kevin Short of the local police department received top marks and glowing praise for his performance in a re- cent five-week junior management course at the Aylmer Police College. Despite being one,,of the youngest members of the class and among the more in- experienced in his rank, Short topped the class with a 99 per- cent average. The class average was 91 percent. The local policeman receiv- ed a perfect mark on a pre - course test, one of the few to ever attain that distinction. Police College officials termed him "eager and in- volved" and the report sub- mitted to council this week by police committee chairman Bill Rose also drew com- plimentary expressions from members of council. Rose also advised council that meetings had been held with local members of the police department over "areas of concern." He said he could not detail those areas at present, but would make a final report to council at a later date on the entire deliberations. The report from the police department for the month of July detailed the following statistics: 12 collisions with two injuries and property damage of 811,400, nine charges under the Highway Traffic Act and four under the Liquor Licence Act, eight thefts and three break and enters with total loot amoun- ting to over $1,000, three in- cidents of wilful damage with the loss being 8265, one assault charge and six com- plaints regarding animals.
