County discuss restructuring
(continued from page 9)
the clusters was to share probl-
ems and information so that
recreational planning could be
carried out in a larger region
than ever before possible.
He told county council that
not all people in Ilurnn County
have equal opportunities for
recreational programs and added
that decisions about recreation
are presently being made by
only "certain sectors of the
county."
Reid presented a report which
showed that provincial grants
in Huron County for recreation
presently amount to $101, 463,
45. He said not all municipal-
ities are presently applying
for these probably because they
don't know what is available in
the way of grants, don't know
how to apply or don't have a rec
board which is necessary before
some grants can be sought.
Members of county council
representing towns and villages
with arenas and recreatinnal
facilities welcomed the suggest-
ion that some plan might be dev-
ised whereby the costs of rec-
reation could be shared,
In other business, the planning
board received approval for
amendment five to the Official
Plan to permit the development
of Maypark Development in Ash-
field Township just south of
Port Albert.
The County's Director of
Planning, Gary Davidson, told
county council the development
had been controversial in Ash-
field from the standpoint that
it closed off access to the public
of the beach. However, accord-
ing to the plans presented to
council, this problem no longer
exists.
The plans are for cottage dev-
elopment only and while year
round residents, especially those,
with school children, would
pose a problem for Ashfield
people and the county as well,
it is felt seasonal residences
would pose no hardship for the
municipality.
Amendment six of the Official
Plan was also approved which
makes it possible for Radoma,
owners and developers of Van-
astra, to convert the former

per building with four two-
bedroom apartments and four
one -bedroom apartment per
floor. Ample parking will be
available on the premises,
county planner Nick Hill told
council.
Reeve Elgin Thompson,
Tuckersmith, said his council
was anxious that only two of
the four buildings slated for
renovations, would be convert-
ed at one time so as not to "
flood the market" with apart-
ment accommodation all at
once.
Considerable discussion was
held during the day on the plan-
ning board's proposed regulat-
ions regarding building lot
sizes. That subject is presently
under study by the planning
board in conjunction with the
land division committee and
the board of Health.
The proposed regulations
would affect onlylots in rural
areas and hamlets and villages
without proper sewage and water
facilities, and area designed
to take into consideration sever-
al different types of situations
common to development in
these areas.
Planning Director Davidson
noted that at present, lot sizes
are occasionally required to be
larger than necessary due to
lack of proper guidelines. He
said the proposed legislation
would serve to guide lot size the issuance of municipal build-
for the purpose of severance and ing permits.
