From the Smoky Lake Signal, July 9, 1980. Volume 3, Number 10. Editorial: - Good plan - but too late by Lorne Taylor One of the things that the Smoky Lake Town Planning group may have to look at the final meeting on July 10 is the commercial zoning of the strip of 855 on the south entrance to town. Although the zoning shows good planning and no doubt would make for a good commercial development into the town, it should have been planned for years ago. There are now just too many nice homes, gardens and acreages along the road, to make a commercial district out of it. Why not allow the area to gradually infill with more houses rather than legislate businesses to pop up between them. The new zoning change doesn't mean the present houses can't stay, they will probably to the year 2050, but that no more houses can be built, only stores. Wouldn't the planners be better off to annex more land and start the commercial strip a little farther down the road?
