The Wingham Advance-Times, 1985-06-19, Page 16Page 16—The Wingham Advance -Times, June 19, 1985 Turnberry council discusses a zoning change application An application for a zoning change sparked debate at last Thursday's meeting of Turnberry council. -Goldwyn Gallaway of Lot 4, Con. 7, has applied for an • amendment to zone 2.55 acres agricultural -small holding from agricultural. The parcel of and in question is located on the George Gallaway farm,? "It's (the zoning change) not interfering with any livestock operation," said Reeve Brian McBurney. ' However Mr. Fortune said council must take a close look at what it wants for the township. "What's to stop people from dividing up farms?" he asked. "I have mixed feelings." Even though council was faced with a similar request earlier this year and members granted approval to the rezoning in that case, Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune expressed reservations as he said he feared setting a precedent which could have far-reaching effects on the agricultural character of the township. MRS. DERRILL HALLMAN (Lakelet 1 Mr. and Mrs. William Inglis of Walkerton, John Inglis of Toronto, Jim Inglis of Milton and Mr. and Mrs. Vern Inglis, Michael and Kevin, were Father's Day visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Inglis.

A lovely book -shaped cake was presented to the bride- to-be's surprised mother, Mrs%, Alma Hetherington, as it was her birthday. A smorgasbord supper was enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mayburry of Gorrie hosted a couples' shower last Satur- day evening in honor of Miss Keil and her fiance, Dave Shaw. A pot -luck supper was enjoyed by all. While he acknowledged council had permitted one similar zoning change, Councillor Randy Scott said' he felt 'ccif tanning the practice could "open up a whole can of worms". "But we have control over every one (application)," said the reeve. When Councillor Joan Wright suggested council should look at each case on its own merits, Councillor Don Morrison said "I don't agree with severing all "this land"either," but he too said he woul be in favor of examining individual cases. "If you want people to live • in the township, you must let them live someplace," said Mr. McBurney. "But we're contradicting ourselves," said Mr. Scott, "We're opening up streets in the villages, yet we're' willing to allow severances." "Not everybody wants to go to the villages," com- mented Mr. McBurney. Mr. Fortune said perhaps council should undertake a review of the township secondary plan to' see if there should be a shift from em- phasizing agriculture to strip development "If you get rid of agriculture, you don't have anything," concluded Mr. Scott.

The Merkleys requested their assessment be the amount suggested in the engineer's repprt of Sep- tember, 1980. However council members said that since the engineer's report is only an estimate, the Merkley assessment will stand. (The engineer's report had suggested the Merkleys might pay $14,000 of the $55,000 drain, �owever when the bill waa •'tallied, the couple's share came to over $20,000 and the' drain's final GRADUATED Faye Forster, daughter of Ronald and Kathleen For- ster of RR 1, Lucknow, graduated May 30, 1985,_ from McMaster University, Hamilton, with a math major Bachelor of Science degree.
