adjustment the committee will not be allow ed to make decisions on manual variances until it is law in fact this means they could not mike exceptions to the rules set out this would allow them to give an individual permission to build on a lot where the frontage did not meet requirements but all other aspects were met or in any case where only a minor variance was deemed necessary two quarrying companies dufferln materials represented by r w chlsholm and domtar represented by w hcraugio teamed up to give the bylaw its most rigorous criticism both attorneys charged the by law discriminated against their companies and if left as it was would tone them out of existence they objected to the increased setback the bylaw forbids any excavation on or within 300 feet of the niagara escarpment with in 1000 feet of a village xono boo feet of an existing dwelling bo feet from a property uno or 100 feet from a pablic road allowance both attorneys argued that the 80 feet from the escarpment as

which they hold rock rights in nassagaweya near milt on heights which were not mark ed as such on the map accom panying the bylaw this is not fair to us or to the potential homebullder he suggested that if the area was not marked as quarry holding potential home owners could build there and later and a quarry operation in effect counsel for dufferln materials charged the bylaw was only a stopgap measure and offered no real solution to the problem still arguing about the oh zones not being marked around every quarrying operation ur chls- holrd said this should not be led to the discretion of successive councils representing project planners ur deke said because all holdings are not marked you think the whole thing is wrong this is not correct if you need- ad room to expand council would entertain an amendment when questioned following the meeting reeve william coulter supported planner deke you have to start somewhere he said ur coulter explained large areas were marked agri cultural or rural because this was the easiest way to allow for change you have to make it something and that is what it was tto begin with reeve coulter explained some areas were toned oh quarry holding to warn potential house- builders other areas were not marked because there was no anticipation of expansion under the present provisions in the bylaw everything thai is not toned as village industrial or commercial as sand and gravel or quarry or quarry hold ing is aoued rural or agricul tural in the event a quarry company had to expand into an agricultur al tone it would have to apply to council

similar problem they bought land in nassagaweya before the bylaw cane into ef fect last april but the deed was not processed until some time after the bylaw requires them to build a house of 2000
