Inside, however, are all the amenities a modern family requires, including room for expansion, thanks to the bonus room and unfinished basement included with the plans. Entry is up a couple of stairs, onto a covered porch—always welcome in inclement weather—and into the foyer. A coat closet is situated to the left. Directly ahead is a niche for displaying collectibles and behind it, the den (or fourth bedroom), which boasts an extra-wide window sill, is ideally located for a home office. The great room is separated from the foyer by an arch, which is echoed by a second arch that extends from the kitchen. The gas fireplace in the great room is placed so it can be enjoyed from the kitchen and the dining area. Sliding glass doors from the dining area, which includes an optional built-out buffet, lead to a patio and the back garden. The cook will never feel isolated in the kitchen, which is open to the great room and, through a third archway, the dining area. The large walk-in pantry, which provides extra storage, will help reduce trips to the grocery store. Between the kitchen and the double garage is the laundry, which can double as a mud room and contains a closet for family gear. A broom cupboard is located nearby. Upstairs is the master suite, which includes a walk-in closet, as well as a window with an extra-wide sill. The four-piece ensuite includes a soaker tub, set into a niche with windows on two sides, with a tiled surround, the ideal spot for relaxing after a long day. The second bedroom features a built-in desk, while the third bedroom has a larger closet. The secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom with a towel cupboard. A linen cupboard is situated nearby, at the head of the stairs. Above the garage is an unfinished bonus room with sloping ceilings. This space suggests several uses, among them a playroom, a hang-out space for teens or an exercise room. Traditional touches on the exterior include partly mullioned windows, wooden shingles in the bonus-room gable and stone accents. This home measures 33 feet wide (because of the bedroom cantilever) and 57 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,980 square feet, excepting the bonus room.

V3R 8P8 OR SEE OUR WEB PAGE ORDER FORM ON: www.jenish.com AND E-MAIL YOUR ORDER TO: homeplans @ jenish.com Greener landfill proposal resisted by neighboursResidents living near theWingham Landfill site areconcerned with proposed changes tothe way the site is operated. North Huron Township Council met to discuss a draft of proposed changes to the landfill site prior to the regular council meeting on August 16. The proposed alterations include a relocation of the site entrance, an improved drop off site for the public, a storage and transfer site for hazardous household wastes, storage of construction and destruction materials for off-site recycling, storage of yard waste for off-site composing and amendments to the annual monitoring program for the site. The changes would see most of the hazardous waste at the site to be stored until it can be removed andtaken to a proper recycling facilitywhich would result in less materialbeing burned or buried, according tocouncillors.Neighbouring residents wereconcerned with many aspects of the proposed site changes, starting with the relocation of the entrance to Reid Road from Currie Line. The residents stated that this will provide problems with sight lines and cause a greater volume of traffic. Staff of both the township and RJ Burnside and Associates engineering firm stated that they do plan to lower the land around the entrance as a means of preventing any dangerous blockage of sight lines. Adjacent landowner resident Jim Taylor stated that adding more to the site was a decision made for the sake of the residents of Wingham, and not for the residents of the township as a whole. “Everything that has been donehere has not been done for the localsnear it,” he said. “Put the transferstation in Wingham so that some ofthe traffic from Wingham won’t begoing to the landfill.”Councillors and staff tried to explain to Taylor that the garbage coming in would have already been coming to the landfill site, but now it will be addressed differently, having more of it recycled if possible. Reeve Neil Vincent also stated that, for the size of the operation, there isn’t really any other place to put it in the township. Another concern was visibility, as none of the neighbours wanted to be able to see the landfill site, or its waste, which should be fixed by the new public waste drop-off centres, which are reserved for non- commercial drop offs. By using multiple bins, and a lined drop off point, the landfill site should maximize traffic flow andminimize the visual impact, as onlythe vehicles may be visible due to berms and sunken structures.Councillor David Riach said hebelieved that many of the neighbours concerns have already been addressed by the plan. “All of the problems Mr. Taylorhad seem to be covered in the newagreement,” he said.Council filed the draft and invitedall the residents to direct theirquestions in writing to the townshipto have issues dealt with when the draft comes forward for its final application. Continued from page 18 to keep in time, but they were doing well with it. The Young Company also agreed that being in the group requires complete dedication, and that is why they are able to tackle the dancing and singing to put on a great show at the end of their time together. Barnett stated that it requires complete dedication to the company. “It’s a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment,” she said. “But it’s not just commitment to the story, it’s commitment to each other. You have to be committed to doing a great job together, not committed to yourself.” The show will debut on August 31 and run through September 5.
