and the feasibility of permitting pcrr manent housing along its Lake Simcoe shoreline According to Donald McKay planning board secretary treasurer the board wants the watertront study in order to revtcw and update the town ships official plan todetermlnc the most desirable planning strategy for the Simcoe shoreline area Mr McKay said the town ships official plan presently deSignates large part of the shoreline for resorts and does not permit permanent residen ces Planning board he said consistently approves only seasonal housing develop ments IIARI IO ENlORCE But the board has found it dif ficult to restrict housing on the lakeshorc property to cottages and resorts he said because of the high cost of land He added that some reSidents along the lakeshorc have con verted their cottages for full timc use in Violation of the of ficial plan gUidelines Mr McKay said both the ministry of the enVironment and the Simcoe County Health Unit have adVised the township that sewage treatment facilities may be needed if significant permanent housmg development is permitted on the lakeshore One of the goals of the water front study he said Will be to determine how much develop ment should be permitted before the sewage treatment is reqmred OMIROMISE If the study concludes that permanent housing should be permitted in the area Mr McKay said the township Will either have to restrict the num ber of permanent housing units or install full serVIces He said the final resolution of that question would probably be compromise between developers the provmual regulations and the townships

completion perhaps as early as next June However Mr McKay stressed that the completion date of the study depends on the cost If you are talking about $30000 to $50000 for the study this muniCipality could not un dertake it in one year he said But it you are talking about $25000 the muniCIpality may be able to cut back somewhere and dmt inoneyear The township he added might not have to pay the
