planning tool says Rick Jones city planner Mr Jones told the Barrie planning board Tuesday the bylaw should be rewritten soon as possible The bylaw is getting old and becoming very complex he said Because it is complex it is beginning to break down He said the instances of the bylaw breaking down will in crease as it becomes more com plex But the planning board decided to refer the matter to the 1977 planning board The board has scheduled only one more meeting this year Dec 14 as social night Mr Jones said there are two possible courses to take to solve the problems in the bylaw He said the board could delete some of the existing zon ing controls or could start using impact zoning In report to the board he said the bylaw has reached the point where it is no longer reliable He said if it was revised in its present format it would not alter its essential unwieldiness which perhaps is its greatest weakness DELETE ONIROLS The board could simplify the bylaw by deleting some of the existing zoning controls he said As an example Mr Jones said the city does not need four residential zones for single family houses Zones to control development of small frontages lots are enough he said Larger lots with 55 or 60foot frontages will be developed as the demand and market die tales he said Mr Jones said the other pro blem with the bylaw is the Use of minimum standards for de District plan waste planner tells board Barrie planning board is not going to prepare major de velopment plan for Residential District The board adopted recom mendation Tuesday from the planning and development department to send brief policy statement to the ministry of housing The statement will explain the citys reasons for not preparing the district plan Rick Jones city planner told the board in report district plans are needless waste of time and energy They the lans add little but delay to tie planning pro cesshesaid The ministry told the depart ment he said the city does not have to prepare the district plan if it sends policy state ment The district plan is require ment in the citys official plan for changing stage land to stage Land in stage is considered not ready for development usually because city services of water and sewers are not available The stage land is ready for development Mr Jones said the policy statement could serve the same function and be prepared in shorter time District is in the citys east end and has about 200 acres of undeveloped land Last year the city approved two plans for Residentia Districts and velopment of vacant land He said superior approach is negotiable or impact zon ing This technique he said bases development on the envi ronmental physical and social capacity of the site and not predetermined zoning allow ance The utilization of impact zoning would not only ensure more rational development but reduce the frequency of re zonings he said It would eliminate the need for secon dary plan amendments Mr Jones told the board the two amendments are major changes and should be included in the citys new zoning bylaw In the interim would sug gest that the board adopt more flexible interpretation of existing zoning regulations in anticipation of more flexible zoningbylaw he said program wood up on the bandsaw to cut another playing board Examiner Photos the program for the first time this year But he decided to

sent at the meeting sponsored by the Barrie University Womens Club at Hillcrest Public School complained snow plows going up and down Bay field were causing damage to private residential areas She said her family had fought and won case against the City of Barrie for damages caused last winter to front lawn and asked if the same problem would come up this year Ald Archer public works chairman admitted there have been problems both with small sidewalk plows and road plows in connection with damage to private property He said however the cost of removing snow rather than pushing into the curb lane was prohibitive and would be called wasteful by some residents With the snow falling so far this year we will be going over our budget estimates already hecommcnted When one woman claimed the claring of sidewalks was noth ing but an irritation he said it has historically been done in Barrie Mayor Dorian Parker spoke up in praise of the present stem as did planning board airman Graydon Richardson ROSS ARtlIER also present at the meeting She said the Toronto policy supported by one person speak ing out of each resident shovelling their property was not necessarily applicable to Barrie Toronto sounds great but they dont get the snow we get here she reminded the au dience of over 100 Older peo ple cant be expected to shovel their own snow She did say if shovelling ser vices

schedule for the plan now before city development committee after failing to get through council Mr Kinzie refused to es timate cost figures while Mayor Parker jumped into the gap with figures she said amount to $700000 price tag on the project She said that while fill re mains free commodity as it did when Mr Kinzie was in volved in the development of Centennial Park the costs of trucking and shaping the fill were staggering Ald Archer was quick to point out Mayor Parkers fig ures were based on estimates compiled when the city was in vestigating the possibility of crash program to get the Ian through He said the cost oad would be alleviated by federal assistance he felt Barrie would be eligible to receive Mr Kinzies holdings came under fire as another member of the audience questioned how he could perform as mayor with as many land and business in terests as he had Mr Kinzie said 800 acres referred to that he had owned south of Barrie were sold before the start of his campaign

St Mr Kinzie es timated some 600 to 700 new jobs will be needed each year to handle graduates from Barries high schools according to figures he received from Sim coe County Directory of Educa tion Jack Ramsay He said present industry must grow and new industry must be attracted to rovide employment both for stu dents and commuters dis satisfied with travelling Highway 400 to and from Toron to each day He also favors the widening of Bayfield St to include left turn land that would operate in both directions saying the city would Cprobably receive provin cial ai because Bayfield St is part of Highway 26 27 Parking in the downtown core raised the ire of Mayor Parker who said money should be put into decking garage now owned by the city on Collier St for parking She maintained meters

efficiency of the ci tys administration Mayor Parker speaking at mayoralty candidates meetinr held Wednesday night at Hill crest Public School said she hopes to create council com mittee to look into management of City Hall She said members of the com mittee possibly working in co operation with city admin istrator Gerry Tamblyn would review departments and in dividual positions to see what needs changing Establishment of the com mittee would be part of her stand that city hall is to be run by the elected rather than the appointed iMOre and more we have tended to lean on the ad ministration for policy recom mendations she stressed Im in favor of city No lights for Holly MTC tells Innisfil By JOHN BRICE Examiner Staff Reporter BAXTER Innisfil township council Tuesday night criti cized roadway lighting stan dards set by the provincial ministry of transportation and communications as being too high and too expensive The criticism was made dur ing discussion between coun cil and three ministry represen tatives about councils request for street lighting on Highway 27 at Holly Earlier this year residents of Holly petitioned council for lighting after pedestrian was struck and killed on the high way at night They felt improved street lighting would prevent another accident Bob Hunter of the ministrys regional traffic control office in London told council that pro viding lighting to meet min istry standards would take 38 lighting units At an estimated cost of $2000 unit he said the total cost would be $76000 Those figures he added were based on lighting proposal prepared by Ontario Hydro NO SUBSIDY Mr Hunter also told council that the ministry would not sub Innisfil township council Tuesday night told delegation from the Lefroy branch of the Royal Canadian Legion that council must have more in formation about the Legions request to rent the former Le my school building before making decision Council said it must have more information on any renovations the Legion would make to the buildin but was primarily concernct that Le froy residents approve of the Legion branch moving into the former school building before decision can be made The former Lefroy school building was bought by the township earlier this month from the Simcoe County board of education for$1 Legion spokesman Kenneth Wilkinson told council that lanned renovations to the ilding have been estimated at $12030 though that figure is not fullyfinalized That figure he said includes $500 to replace broken windows and $2000 to install new sep tic tank to bring the buildings sanitary system up to health board standards All estimates he said are from businessmen and contraclt tors who are Legion members Mr Wilkinson said the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario LLBO will grant liquor licence to the branch if it moves into the former school building PEIITIONED He said branch members as requested by the LLBO peti tioned all residents living sidize part of the cost because it does not agree that the lighting is needed Prior to 18 months ago the ministry would have subsidized 50per cent of the lightin cost he said We dont that anymore because of economic restraints Reeve William Gibbins was HILLGIBBINS Council asks information about Legion plans for SChOOlwith areas developers within 400 feet of the building to find out if they objected to the branch moving into the building Coun Bill Tipple said the en tire community must have chance to voice its opinion on the Legion move Are you really wanted in the community That is the impor tant thing he told the Legion delegation He asked the Legion mem bers to clarify the LLBO posi tion on the poll because he found it hard to believe that the LLB would want opinions only from residents living within 400 feet of the building Coun Grant Andrade cri ticized the legion for getting price estimates on gravel for the parking lot before con tacting the township planning office How can you get estimates for gravel for the parking lot before you contact the planning office that will tell you how big the parking lot has to be he asked ASKED SUBMISSION Coun Tipple said council had asked the Legion to make written submission after it had contacted all concerned provin cial and munici al agencies and had final pans and es timates for proposed renova tions to the former school building Until he sees that written sub mission he said he is unwilling to make decision on renting the building to the Legion branch delegation from the Lefroy highly critical of the ministrys lightingstandards think you have got your standards way too high he said Its out of the reach of peoples ability topay Ministry representative Len Feron replied that the ministry thinks its lighting standards are average for North Ame rica Mr Hunter said that 38 lights would be required on the mile long section of Highway 27 to provide continuous lighted area without hazardous dark spots Ile said the human eye can not adjust fast enough to mov ing from lighted area to dark area and into lighted area again It is better to have it all lighted or all dark he said Coun Grant Andrade sug gested council call public meeting in Holly to discuss the lighting situation and he wanted the ministry represen tatives to attend and explain the ministry standards He said ministry officials would face hostile reaction if they attend such meeting Council decided to arrange public meeting in Holly and the ministry representatives agreed to come to the meeting BILL TIPPLE United Church told council it is opposed to the Le ion moving into the school buil ing because the Legion is commercial enterprise which gets most of its money from the sale of alcoholic beverages The church group said the site of the former school building would be better used for senior citizens centre or the land could be subdivided in to lots for houses There are times when decision must be made in favor of the minority spokesman Earl Gilmour said and we believe that this is one of them V1 government run by the elected with the administration there to carry out established policies she continued There is no way want the city run by management and administra tion Mayor Parker running for her third term against Ross Ar cher and businessman Willard Kinzie said similar council committee was established in Sudbury three years ago with good results Ten key department posts were discovered to be redun dant she said THREE MONTIIS Mayor Parker estimated the time the committee would need to come up with recommenda tions would be three months The issue arose when Mayor Parker commented during the initial stages of the meeting that she opposed present use of workmanagement system in city hall in the public works and parks and recreation depart ments The system which cost 540000 to implement and has another $6000 budgeted for this year for the final stages is three years old Under the system the workhour efficiency of each work crew and department is determined and any inefficien cy is spotted and erased through adjusted workloads Both Ald Archer and Mr Kinzie came out after the meeting attended by over 100 residents and sponsored by the Barrie University Womens Club in favor of some manage ment and administration system DORIAN PARKER Ald Archer pointed out just two departments in City Hall are now affected by the system and said Mr Tamblyn was ablyl running the rest of the administration He maintained the role of mayor over an administration is that of chairman of the board aware of what is going on in the administration and speaking out if city policies arent followed Mr Kinzie who has taken business management courses in the United States over fiveyear period said he was generally satisfied with the pre sent administrations organiza tion He did say there could be some changes if he became mayor and had the time to in vestigate the working of de partments and possible pro blems Industry asked to sponsor buses By SUE ROUTLIFFE Examiner
