Council opposes severance request GORRIE — A request to sever six acres from a 76.72 acre lot in Howick Township was turned down by Howick Township Council at its May 1 meeting. The property on Con. 9, Lot 32, is owned jointly by Rhoda Cameron . and J. Hartley, who wished to sell the larger portion of the severed lot to Bryce Switzer. Both parties said they planned to use their portions for mixed farming. Council opposed the severance on the basis it is contrary to the township's secondary plan andproposed zoning bylaw: "No way: 'It doesn't can - form with- anew'zoning," said Reeve' 'John, Stafford. Despite the township's objection, the Huron County Severance Board has final say in the matter.

Kelly and Associates, a Kitchener firm, as the engineer for the project. The request was made by three area property owners, Carol J. Wright, George Dickson and Ralph Metcalfe, all of RR 1, Clifford.

There is clearly a need for such a bylaw as council's monthly meetings in the past year have seldom ended before 1 a.m., and one 1984 meeting lasted until after 3 a.m. The May 1 meeting, which -ended at: x:155 -13171W-1 was p .- was the first meeting in the past” -year to end before midnight. "How about that, we started and finished the meeting on the same date," commented Reeve' John Stafford. After studying the sample bylaw, council felt it does not need one containing as many formalities, but did choose a few points to incorporate into a bylaw of its own. Township Clerk -treasurer 'Marvin Bosetti was asked to draft a bylawfor con- sideration by council. The proposedbylaw will probably include clauses , SEE VINTAGE OLD AND FUTURISTIC NEW TOGETHER' SATURDAY MAY 12, From Noon until approximately 4 p.
