Councillor Leroy Harrison introduced a motion at the• following council, meeting to concur with planning board's request to rezone the property to permitthe con, struction. The motion was defeated in.a recorded vote with councillors Frank Walk.om., Bob..:A•llenY.. Jim Peters, Reeve Stan Profit and Haydon. Councillors Dave Gower and Harrison voted in favor. However, the motion was defeated and the matter was sent back to planning board requestingan alternate design. Monday • night ,Goderich building inspector Roy Breckenridge brought the -matter to council's attention unofficially,claimingthe matter had to be acted upon in view of the shortage- of "After the land is rezoned the .gentleman has a right fo, erect a building but will council have authority as to . the looks of the building?" asked. "The draving.is only a concept and' I a m• not•agafnst - it but T don't want to see a barrack put up," Breckenridge ehen suggested that a special meeting of planning board be organized to discuss the matter when board chairman Dave Gower returned frpm holidays. However, he added that if the project is delayed about 1 f . months it will probably not be built. . Councillor Allen then suggested that Gower call a special joint meeting of the planning board and council to rgsolve the matter. Harrison. argued that council could not direct planning board tocall-a special meeting. ` Councillor 1-Iaydon won- , dered' why there was such Urgency in the matter. • "Why .i s it we ,always and up doing things in a hurry?" she asked. "We always create a hurry at the council table and the matter is 'nut of Context now and ' "no motion• is necessary'."

' , Mayor Shewfelt pointed out that Walters brought in some plans in December but it seemed that some councillors ment ,were opposed to apartm buildings and townhouses and simply referred it to the' planning. board. Councillor Jim Peters . argued that planning board simply acted. on the matter without any research. Profit added that there always seemed to be talk of a rental. housing..sliortage but never. anything to back up the claims: "We are always told of the•, necessity for, apartments but the fact is if it is urgent, there must be figures. of the people looking for homes.
