Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff Lakeshore North residents do not have to worry about the possibility of seeing, or smelling, a slaughterhouse in their immediate backyard, a Woolwich Township official promised last Thursday. T ce neice . eCmm LoE L. uols d Speaking at a public meeting in Breslau, township planner Brian Hunsberger teld Waterloo planning department representative Don Roth that Woolwich planners would review their proposed â€" consolidated comprehensive zoning byâ€"law and address concerns made by the city and a number of individual residents. "We will likely have to make a few changes," said Hunsberger. At last week‘s meeting of Waterloo City Council, planning director Tom Slomke raised concern about the Woolwich bylaw because it would allow medium to heavy 131st Year No. 6 ‘Don‘t worry,‘ Woolwich tells planners Wednesday, February 12, 1986 Waterloo, Ontario 25 cents at the Newstand industries such as abbatoirs, feed mills, livestock distribution and artificial animal breeding enterprises to locate only 150 metres from homes in Lakeshore and within 30 metres of the Martin trailer park in the townâ€" ship vAr! that méeting, Slomke urged council to object to the bylaw as far as the Ontario Municipal Board.

The facts will come this summer when a survey of possible riders in the Beechwood North and Upper Beechwood area are tabulated to see if the numbers indicate a need for the new proposed bus route in 1987. At least one Waterloo alderman feels he knows the facts now, and questions the need for an extra route in 1987. “I’ wo;I;i’ ‘I.Ev:;zwn;y';és;};r;t‘ifohs”as to whether that route would ever reach the expected level of operating costs recovery," said Ald. John Shortreed. â€" He said all routes must be able to recover 30 per cent of operating costs and suggested that possibly other areas of Waterloo might be better served by a new route. When later questioned by Mayor Marjorie Carroll as to where these routes might be, Shortreed listed Sunnydale, Lincolin Village and Lakeshore North as "just a few." Although no firm decisions were made at Monday‘s meeting of council, aldermen took the time to listen to a number of resident concerns with city engineer Jim Willis‘s fiveâ€"year transit program forecast. aooa _, 2 To n ol C P 1 uons nen e e e e mL_LiL.L P‘vsl“lll PR SADIIPTT Beechwood resident Barbara Sivak disagreed with Shortreed and suggested that parents are being forced to drive teenaged children to school because of the lack of transit in the area.

Next month‘s public meeting is being squeezed in two weeks before the city‘s 1986 budget is passed down. For route 5, Willis would like the route reâ€"aligned as well as extending service to 10 p.m. from seven. The net 1986 cost would be $10,700. For route 12, a $48,200 price tag would cover the extension of services to Conestoga Mall during offâ€"peak hours and every 45 minutes during the evening. 1112114 . 14 50 l chaiediaades ~ Stsicisttiihedb ib o.~ id Similar to the city‘s five year capital forecast, no items are "etched in stone," meaning changes can always be made to the annual report.

He pointed out the legal separation distance between an abbatoir and residence, as determined by the Ministry of the Environment, is 300 metres, twice the distance the zoning would require. The Waterloo planner also made it known that the city opposes dog kennels or veterinary clinics in the area close to the subdivision. â€" Roth recommended Woolwich zone the area for "restricted industrial usesâ€"like the industrial areas adjacent to residences in Elmira and St. Jacobs." mlifinsbéréer told Roth it would be a couple of weeks before township council looked at the comprehensive bylaw and the concerns of Waterloo will likely be put to rest.
