Community Newspaper Vol. 14, No. 29, Folio 58 Wednesday, July 22, 1981 Lighting -|problems resolved? If all goes well a Transport Canada temporary suspension of Huronia Airport's night licence could be dropped and the airport's night licence reinstated. More than a month ago the DOT lifted the airport's night licence following an annual inspection of the tri-municipal | airport which turned up problems in the | runway lighting system. | Since then, an official at the airport | Said yesterday, efforts have been made to correct-the problem of runway lights | blowing out. During the past 24 hours the lights have been left on all the time and so far none of the bulbs have blown. Since the DOT's action, NOTAMS (Notices to } Airmen) have been published advising of the | DOT's action in the matter. Ken Stacey, an official with the airways branch, in a telephone interview this week said he planned | to be in the area this week to review the lighting | and if "'it is now found to be reliable I'll recom- | mend that the temporary suspension be lifted. Putting ona show A group of experienced water skiers from Farlane Lake put on a show for patients at the Penetanguishene Mental Health be Centre, Monday afternoon just off the Centre's beach. Judy Halliday, left, and Jim Stacey were two of the performers. Next step Penetanguishene town council at its next meeting will receive a recom- mendation from the town planning board that council support in principle an application of Mary Garthside to have the designation of land at 205 Fox Street changed in the town's official plan to allow a marine and oil burner repair service to be established there. In the town's official plan, 205 Fox Street is designated as neighbourhood residential; a marine commercial designation is needed for the operation of the proposed business. Amendment of an official plan is subject to the approval of both the provincial government and of the district health unit. If the town council supports the project, the owners can then gather the documentation needed to ap- proach the provincial government to ask for the provincial government's approval of the change of designation, town planner Paul Hodgins said yesterday. Neighbours around the property were invited to attend a planning board meeting in June to offer any objections they might have to the Garthside proposal. Only one home within 400 feet was represented at the meeting, and its residents did not 32 pages, 30 cents object to the proposed change. All property owners within 400 feet of the Garthside property were notified of the meeting. At its June meeting the planning board was told that long term plans for the property include the building of a two-car garage, and a 40 foot by 60 foot workshop. Council will not be receiving at its next meeting a recommendation from the town planning board about the application of Grew Boats for rezoning of its Nelson Street property. Grew Boats wants a change in the local zoning to allow the building of bigger boats. But since fibreglass is used in the construction of the boats, Ministry of Environment approval is needed, as well as the town's ap- proval. Since Grew Boats first appeared before the town planning board, the board and the town Industrial Com- mission have met to discuss Grew's application for rezoning. A verbal report was made at Monday's meeting of the planning board. Town planner Spearn said Tuesday that a large amount of data has been collected and that it remains to be analyzed. Special events have been planned for the patients for the whole of this week. Today is track and field day.
