BY-LAWS PASSED A number of by-laws were passed at the May meeting of Seaforth Town Council. The first authorized an agreement bet- ween the town and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to implement the Seaforth Community Improvement Plan, and the second authorized execution of an agreement between the four Huron County communities sharing the Police Com- munication and Dispatch system. A further two by-laws amended the Town's Official Plan and a zoning by-law. According to the amendments, the land use designation of a 12 -acres parcel of undeveloped property southwest of the CNR tracks will be changed to industrial in the northen section, and future develop- ment in the lower section. PROPERTY GRANTS The Town of Seaforth adopted a recom- mendation from its Clerk that three separate applications for designated pro- perty grants be approved subject to some conditions. The Acropol Restaurant project must be approved by Seaforth's Local Advisory Committee on Architectural Conservation (LACAC) and historial colors must be used as documented and approved by that group. The Crouch Apartments (92 Goderich Street West) project must also be approved by LACAC and' documenta- tion and use of orginal materials for the sloped roofs be used, provided the material qualifies for the grant. Changes to the building that houses Bob's Barber Shop must be approved by LACAC. AUTHORIZE ORDER Public Utilities Manager Tom Phillips has been given authorization by council to order materials needed for the 1988 Streetlighting capital project. Mr. Phillips had advised delivery time for the material would be three to four months and suggested the material be ordered now to ensure it arrived in 1988. WASTE MANAGEMENT The Town of Seaforth will apply to the Ministryof the Environmentfor a Waste Manaement Improvement Program grant for closure of the Seaforth- Tuckersmith landfill site. An estimate provided by Steve Burns set the cost of closure at $36,710. Phil Bye pro- vided a grant application form and noted the program will fund up to 80 per cent of approved costs. EMERGENCY USE The Town of Seaforth will ask the Holmesville Landfill committee to request the Township of Goderich make applica- tion to the Ministry of the Environment, through the Director of Environmental Ap- provals, to amend the Holmesville Site certificate of approval, to permit Seaforth and the remaining portion of Tuckersmith Township to use the Holmesville site on an emergency basis. The Director of Environmental Ap- provals has the power to make decisions on emergency approvals provided the host site has a current certificate of approval, the operation of the site is satisfactory, the site has an approved plan of operation and closure, the hydrology, of the site is satisfactory and the site has sufficient capacity. Because of the town's current ef- fort to join the Holmesville Landfill site, the committee thought it logical to request emergency approval to use the Holmesville site. The town will contact other municipalities who are identificed by the MOE as having available sites, to enquire if they would consider permitting Seaforth and the remaining part of Tuckersmith Township to use their site on an emergen- cy basis. Seaforth will also encourage the Holmesville Landfill committee to proceed with long term plans for the future of the Holmesville site. REMOVE PLAN The Town of Seaforth will advise the Owen Sound office of the Ministry of the Environment that it plans to remove the Plan of Subdivision from the West Branch Subdivision. It will also request the Ministry transfer the approved sewer population from the West Branch subdivi- sion to the proposed R and D Plan of Subdivision. Originally the MoE stated they could not support the rezoing of the Middegaal pro- perty form open space to residential because of the present overloading of the sewage system. It was noted however, the town will be proceeding with a major sewer repair and expansion program and the municipal ownership of the West Branch Subdivision property. The West Branch subdivision plan provided sewer services for 98 units approved by the MOE and due to pending de -registration of the plan of subdivision, the Town would not re- quire the sewer population. The MOE indicated they would support the R and D rezoning by-law and Plan of Subdivision provided the Town agreed to rellquish the approved sewer population of the West Branch subdivision. Fire department summoned to Meat Market An overloaded fuse panel summoned the Seaforth Fire Department to the Seaforth Meat Market on Monday, but when they got there everything was under control. Don Kelly, owner of the business smelled something burning and the lights in his store went dim. He went downstairs to the fuse panel to find it literally glowing hot. He call- ed the fire department, but by the time they arrived the power was out and there was no danger of a fire. Mr. Kelly bought a new fuse and had the power back on in minutes. No serious damage was caused because of the incident. DEERE SEASO Cash Discounts Up to $200. If You Hurry Spring is here. And so is our terrific lineup of John Deere lawn and garden equipment.
