New bylaw may be included in plaza .heari.:ng
The Ontario Municipal
Board. (OMB) hearing inti the.
proposed • ;.shopping., .plaza din
Hayfield' Road- last •Friday was
adjourned until 'October 21 of
'this year, °
During the adjournment.,,;.,..
Walter Shrives, chairman of
• 'the two-man OMB panel chairman,
the hearing will write a •
decision whether to include a
proposed bylaw `in the hearing
along with • the two amend-
ments now .before the govern-
ment body.
Town ` council passed. •the
amendmehts to the zoning
bylaw and the official . plan
which would allow • Suncoast
Estates Ltd. to build the plaza.
They were the only., changes
before the board until George .
Plaxton, a lawyer representing
the Goderich' Businessmen's
Association, which is objecting
to the pla,, a, . offered a motion
Friday to include, in the hearing
the bylaw now an circulation.
The restricted area bylaw of
1972, which would enact the of-
ficial plan, would -have expan-
ded the: commercial • areas in
the downtown core.
However, vigorous objections
from many citizens caused
town council to•pass°an amend-
ment to the official, plan that
Auld restore the core area to a
'status similar to that permitted
by the 1958 zoning bylaw. pe
bylaw now being circulated
would enact that amendment
to the •official . plan. '
Mr. Plaxton said the
businessmen's association had
instructed him to lodge an ob-
jection to -the bylaw.
He argued that a -.restriction,
on commercial expansion in the,
downtown areawould have
direct bearing on the case. of
whether or not the plaza should•
be allowed in town.•
E. A. Cherniak,. lawyer
• representing Suncoast Estates
at the hearing, said .the,:dowrr-
°, .town zoning amendment had
no' bearing on the case.; `."•
','it's•'in his (Mr.- Plaxton's)
clients' interest, to delay this
application,- he said.
'Mr•, Flaxtbn, said the,
businessmen wanted the
hearing , to_ ,,end ° as soon 'as
possible' but,. he added, they
were not informed . about the
downtown zoning' change until

- AREA STRENGTHENED:
David Barber, a planner with
Municipal Consultants 'Ltd., of
_„ ,o.fonto,•' who drafted the
amendments to the zcanftig
bylaw and the official plan to
allow construction of the plaza
was in' the `'witness 'stand for
most of Wednesday,. all Of
Thursday and 1~ ridaY
Wed'n'esday, ,he answered
questions from Dan Murphy,
the lawyer representing the
Town of •God•erich, about fur,
ther commercial expansion in
the downtown area.
Mr. Barber noted the obJec•- .,
dons to the first bvlaW' and said
he drafted the amendment,"
which , would revert the core
area zdn ng.. to a similar
situation as 'was provided by
the' 1983 ' byl'aaw",
He said later that it would be
impossible - to build the„
facilities proposed for the plaza
in the downtown. core. °
Moreover, such an enterprise '
would destroy the character,„ of
the Square, he 'added.
Offstreet parking would °
present a similar problem, Mr.
Barber'saidu
Large amounts " of rnoney
would be requirec6 t� obtain
land. Buildings would have' to
be torn down for parkinglots to
• be made available, he said, °
When asked' if Goderich
needs a shopping plaza, he -said
it would .strengthen the area
.around Goderich as well--as.the
town.•
M,r. Barber also explained ,
the proposed zoning amend-
ments' , designation of parki•ng
area 'anid parking° spaces. The •
quefition was' first asked during
cross:examination of town
building ':.ins'pec:tor Roy
Breckenridge Tuesday'. by Mr.
'Plaxton. • ' ' • •
•Mr. Breckenridge could not
interpret ` t'he' bylaw. .forenfor-
cement- purposes, The bylaw
does state that ' the plaza
requires 2.5 times the amount •
of floor. space for parking. °
Mr. Barber said the plans :for'
the plaza allow a• ratiq of about.
