"What concerns me pis theory ,and realism," said chairman Tom Jasper. "In theory the town has bylaws requiring owners to maintain property and this board can only hope that council en- forces its bylaws but I'm a little concerned." John Schaeffer said that the site plan shows a definite improvement for the property over its present use. He added however that he would hate to see the grass growing wild and the hedge around the storage area let go. The site plan submitted shows the property lined with trees with the main building situated in the centre of the parcel. A wide paved drive leads up to the building, goes around it and leads to a large storage area at the rear of the property, The storage area will house wrecked cars and cars to be worked on and will be surrounded by an. eight foot chain link fence ac- cording to the plan. The fence will ..be hidden by a cedar hedge that will be planted on the sides and front. "It may seem like a minor thing but I know what this type of business attracts and it will be important to the town to have the hedge maintained and the site plan followed through," said Ken McGee. "There may he a wrecked car come in that has salvageable parts on it and it will be stored and should he rd approves semi detached housng said that some of the lots had become an instant slum if it is already been committed for done improperly. development of single family Nine of the lots to be Chris Kiar of Kiar and Ross and although they may have rezoned are owned by land surveyors told the hoard lent themselves to semi Ducharmc and four by that the lots had been chosen detached they couldn't be Young.

Jasper told the board that its job was to observe good planning practices without letting personal Opinion sway them. He said the hoard had to come to grips with the matter and stipulate that the property he maintained properly and that the hedge and fence he installed to the town's wishes. He said the board can only approve the project and pass it on to council and it is up to the town to ensure that it is kep,# up to snuff or• turn the application down. He said he didn't know it council had any bylaws that would force ow ners to maintain property but un- derstood that the minimum maintenance bylaw currently - being drafted may give them that power. Bill Clifford said he didn't know that the property was getting used to its potential. He said it seemed ' like an awful lot of land for the body shop adding that if the hu'ildings and storage area were situated in a different spot the land niay have more potential for other things. Eileen Palmer said that the "nature of the beast leads one to conjure tip an untidy type of business with junk laying around" hut added that she "can't help but think that the type of application Essex made shows that he intends to keep up the property.'. Huron County planner Roman Diu s. helped the planning board make its decision by pointing out in a written report that the land Use suggested by Essex conforms with the town's official plan. He added that the town could create a special __zuuin_.__spccificution- per rnitting the use of the land us specified by the ap- plication making any changes planned in the future possible without permission of council. By doing that the town would have control over any future development on the property. • Dzus suggested that if the hoard approve the ap- plication they clearly specify that the owner reach an agreement with the town that the property be developed according to the site plan and planning board decided to take that route.
