The bylaw had been given two readings by council but before actual passage the town council decided to let the people air their iiews—and air their views they did. In all, however, the whole session seemed to be getting the zoning bylaw on what residents feel is the right track. (Staff Photo) -`Bylaw draws objections HEARING TESTS.

Phone:, (Continued from page 1) that the Berean Gospel Chapel had purchased land at the top of. Boland St. in order to build a new chapel. He noted that the land the chapel would occupy is zoned as hazard land and further com- mented that it is not likely to be flooded because it is on one of the highest points of land in the town. The county planner said that in this case there had been a mapping error in the copies of .the bylaw. The area, he said, should be marked as open space. Dr, Clarke then asked if the land could be re -zoned to allow the' building. Mr. Davidson answered that the planning board had been unaware of the project and said it could indeed be taken care of. latesou %took • the floor, sayitigitit4 peO a such as • Mr. ,lolr shed,nformed thatrf; their areas are not . rezoned and • council doesn't consent to allow him to build on his old -property if his house is destroyed he will be prevented from rebuilding. The next speaker, Dave Ober- holtzer, wanted.to know the plan- ning board's criteria for zoning. Ri (single family dwellings) and R2 (basically anything short of apartments) residential areas.. Mr. Davidson replied that there were two criteria. The first was what already existed in the area and the second was how easily could some of those houses be converted to allow more than one family to live in them. He gave as an example the fact that a large, older home could easily be con- verted to allow up to . four sep- arate units while. more modern homes are not laid out in a fashion conducive to conversion. Further to the point he added that the general philosphy is that *an tt2 is the most flexible sort of zone and that, coupled with the potential and desire in the area to convert homes had brought about the decision. Mr. Oberholtzer then noted that the Lloyd Door factory is located in an R2 zone and he wanted to know why that could not be zoned R3 for apartments. To that Mr. Davidson answered that the resi- dents in the area may not want apartments in their neighborhood and the planning board had tried to retain as much of the existing residential environment as pos- sible. Jack Walker, who owns a funeral home which, under the bylaw, would be non -conforming, wanted to know if his establish- ment could be spot zoned com- mercial. He was told it could be or the planning board could recommend a blanket amend- ment to the bylaw whicl, would allow neighborhood commercial and general 'service commercial uses in residential areas. John Moreland, a homeowner on Centre St., asked why the street had been divided to allow commercial on one side and resi- dential on the other. The county planner informed Mr. Moreland that it had been decided that some commercial zoning outside the present core was desirable to alleviate expansion pressures. Mr. Moreland asked if spot zon- ing might answer the problem, however Mr. Davidson suggested that it would be better to have the whole area zoned commercial rather than just certain proper- ties. John Mann took dyer the microphone to ask Mr. Davidson about the conversion potential being a criteria for the difference in R1 and R2 zones. Mr. Davidson said that the houses in R2 zones could "easily be converted but homes in Ri zones couldn't be. .Mr. Mann expressed concern that although homes that exist in what will become commercial zones may be resold as homes, their value as residences may fall. He was told that, in general, land value increases when it can be used for a variety . of. endeavors. Mr. Mann then wondered why there was- such a large R2 area when most of the homes there are single family. Mr. Bender 'indicated that the planning board had mapped all the homes that have already been converted and found that there is no pattern to their location. That made them almost impossible to zone separately. - Jim Ward, who lives in an area designated as highway commer- cial, acted as spokesman for the 18 residents in his area. First he asked if the town's official plan was "worth the paper it's written on”. He said he had been told it was not, until the bylaw was passed.

He then ate; if he could add'a fatx#ily room. The answer was that in all probability, he could not. Mr. Ward then quipped that maybe he should build the h,, improve the inside andthen, make minor alterations to the outside. Mr, .Davidson com- ' mented that there areways to get around the bylaw but it is hoped. that people generally, abide by their laws. Mr. Davidson took this oppor- tunity totell the audiencethat the town is faced with the dilemma of growth which started .from the downtown core. 'The town,he said, Must sort out the develop- ment and cannot simply allow. free access toall uses. When faced with this statement residents asked why the planning board could not leave existing property as it is and begin zoning semi -established areas and make recommendations to annex land from the surrounding townships for future development. Some, in fact, felt that there was little growth: in the town, so much ' of the control could be exercised by building permits. Mr. Davidson commented that building permits de' not control land use, they simply ensure the safety of a new structure. Town Growing Jim Currie told the gathering that anyone with' half an eye .in his head can see thatwhile the' population sign outside town hasn't seen much change, there has been tremendous growth in the town. He likened Wingham to a time bomb that is bound to ex- plode if measures are not taken to give it room. Earl Jenkins,who runs a mobile lunch service from his home, asked if he would be af- fected as a home occupation. After some confusion as to what exactly was entailed in Mr. cul frOin histruck.
