Council and MTC study tra BAYFIELD - Council here, in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MTC), is conducting a survey to determine trafficking problems on Highway 21. Inarticular traffic congestion at the new particular store is being examined. The issue is being addressed on the re- quest from the Bayfield Ratepayers Association. Concern has been raised as vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area has increased with the recent opening of the new food store. Meetings have been held between the planning committee and the MTC, although no solution has been determined at this time. Options include no parking area along Highway 21; traffic lights; and traffic en- forcement by the OPP. Council hopes to make a final decision on the matter at its July 21 meeting. In further business at council's July 6 meeting, final approval was given to erect three stop signs along Victoria Street. The signs will be posted at Victoria and Blair, eastbound on Victoria and Lidderdale, and westbound on Victoria and Lidderdale. Council turned down a request from Doug Sinnamon which asked that one hour park- ing be established along Main Street in front of his business, The Village Market. Mr. Sinnamon said that cars are being parked in front of his grocery store for several hours at a time, thus preventing customers from quick access to his business. Council indicated that while they sym- pathized with Mr. Sinnamon's problem, the village cannot legally enforce parking restrictions in the area. Councillor Cliff Freeman said that local people "should know better" than to use the parking area for extended time periods. Councillor Pat Muratori suggested that "tourists and visitors to the village park there all day, not realizing that there is a grocery store." Councillor Jim Quick said that council could not provide one hour parking for Mr. Sinnamon without setting a precedent along Main Street.

What about other businesses, like the bake shop across the street?" A letter will be sent to Mr. Sinnamon ad- vising that council will not erect parking limitation signs as he requested Public Meeting Prior to the regular council sc::}'ion rin Tuesday, August 4 a public meeting will be held to discuss a proposal being made by Joe Durand to establish an eight unit apart- ment building in Bayfield. Mr. Durand is calling for an amendment to the zoning bylaw to permit the apartment building in a residential zone. Council had previously turned down the request and now Mr. Durand is appealing the decision. People living within 400 feet of the area in question have been advised of the proposal. Public input will be called for at the meeting, then council and the county plann- ing department will re -assess Mr. Durand's proposal. Building Permits Council gave its okay to building permits which call for the construction of three new homes in the village. The permits are for Barbara McLellan, Ken Johnston and Margaret Talbot. Committee of adjustment approval was given to Donald S.Cook which calls for a minor variance to allow for the -construction of a detached garage to replace a carport. As well, minor variance approval was given to Georgina Murray which will allow for the encroachment of an extended bedroom into the rear year setback on her Dowe Street home. Council Action Questioned John Crosthwaite questioned council on plans to build a new public works shed in the village. A heated debate ensured in the public cornment portion of the July 6 council meeting. Mr. Crosthwaite asked council to justify the need for the works shed. He said that a public appeal should have been held to determine the necessity of spending tax- payers' money on the project. "Money in reseves could be used to help reduce taxes," he suggested. Councillor Cliff Freeman said that council had justified the need for the building. He further noted that discussion on the project has been underway for at least two years and public input woe id have been welcomed during that time. He said that tenders have been called on the project and council will proceed with the plans "if the price is right." Reeve Dave Johnston said that presently there is no indoor storage area available for village equipment. '•Facilities are rented for storage, or equipment sits outside and rusts. There are no facilities to do any repairs on equipment. Everything must go to the garage." Crosthwaite said he still wasn't con- vinced that the new shed was needed. He further said that he has not been aware of council's plans with regards to this project until recently. "Unfortunately I haven't been concerned about this in the past. I just learned about this last week." Council suggested that Mr. ('rosthwLite should not come to a council meeting at the final stages of the project to voice his objec- tions. It was noted that he could have follow- ed the discussion on the project as it transpired over the past two years and his complaints should have been registered in the initial stages.
