The children here got to say a big hello to children in Whitby and kick- off the Letters to Santa Campaign. Letters are being received at a special box in the Wingham Post Office Planner on hand to discuss township zoning amendments By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times Four zoning amendmen approved by Morris To council at its regular meet Tuesday evening. Craig Metzger of the County Planning Departme on hand for the public m held for each of the zoning ments. He said that four public ings were required because were four re -zoning applic However, he added that the dure for each application w same for all four. Metzger said there are two sets of legislation that have to be met in order for a re -zoning application to be approved. The first is the town- ship's secondary plan, and the sec- ond is the provincial comprehen-' sive policy statement. The first zoning amendment on the agenda was for the Warwick/ Johnston property at part Lot 31-32 of Concession 1. The purpose of the by-law is to re -zone the former Bluevale siding of the abandoned CN railway line to permit the de- velopment of two residential build- ing lots. The by-law alsosets a min- imum separation distance of 256 metres. Metzger said that even though • the county planning department recognized the property as a single lot, if township council accepted the property as two lots, the plan- ning department would abide by the council's decision. Council made a motion to accept the property as two lots of record. Metzger said it's usually not the planning department's policy to al- low for this type of development. However, he added that the re- zoning may comply with the town- ship's secondary plan, and meets the seven criteria in the compre- hensive policy statement. He added that the Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).did not object to the development of the property. Township clerk -treasurer Nancy Michie reported that the Huron County Health Unit (HCHU) had no objections as long as test wells to five -feet in depth were dug on each lot. She also reported that OMAFRA had no objections to the property being considered as two lots. The second re -zoning applica- tion was from Steve Lubbers for the north half of Lot 25 of Conces- sion 9. The ,amendment to the AG4-8 zone would no longer pro- hibit the housing of livestock. Metzger said that under the present zoning. Lubbers is prohib- ited from using the barn for keep- ing livestock, but he wants to keep veal calves. He said the house was severed from the farm land a number of years ago, and re -zoned to prohibit livestock. However, Metzger noted that there is a policy in the township's secondary plan to allow for the land to he re -zoned to its original status, if the manure is disposed. "if there is a manure agreement, then the property does conform to the secondary plan," he said. Lubbers informed council that is were he did have a manure agreement, wnship and even presented the agreement ing last to council. Huron Members of council were con- nt was cerned about the duration of the eetings manure agreement. They felt that amend- " there should be a stated length of the time in the agreement. meet- Coun. Kevin Pletch pointed out - there that council would lik guaran- ations.. tee of a time period, in order to proce- know that the written agreement as the wouldn't be broken next year, or even tomorrow. Lubbers said that he knew of some AG4s in the township that had no manure agreement. How- ever, it was noted that most of those were re -zoned prior to 1989. Metzger agreed that titere could be some with no manure . agree- ment, but noted there could also be some environmental problems. Reeve Elliott said that the coun- cil would feel better if there was a duration period in the agreement. Coun. Pletch was concerned Please see MORRIS/5 railer rolls over The driver of a tractor -trailer unit was not injured allowing a one - vehicle accident just north of North Street, in.Turnberry Township, last Tuesday., The accident was apparently caused by the slippery road condi- tions at the time.
