Roll call was answered by 15 members, telling, "Little things that make life beautiful," Worship service on Thanksgiving theme was con- ducted by Mrs, Katie Vincent, Retirement subdivision is becoming community the one in Grand. Bend, Named Sandy Cove Estates, And located just south of 13arrie,it now has 700 occupied retirement homes, two clubhouses and two pools. "It has woked eut extremely well at Sandy Cove and people seem to really enjoy the lifestyle," said Mr. Rice. "We started on Grand Cove Estates here in Grand Bend two years ago and it's well along the way to completion, We recently acquired approvals for two more similar developments, one in Newcastle and one in Bramp- ton," At Grand Bend, Mr. Rice related, his firm, in a 50-50 partnership with the Royal Bank of Canada, bought 140 acres of land, Ninety acres are in Stephen township and 50 in the village of Grand Bend. Work started on the property in April of 1974 including grading, water and sewage in- stallations and the installation of considered by law to be an ex- tension of the homes and private alcohol can be brought to the building by residents. Bingos, dances, instructional classes, in fact just about any activity imaginable takes place in the clubhouse according to Mr. Rice. Right now, only about forty of a projected total 700 homes are sold and occupied. About forty more have been sold but the owners have not moved in, Mr. Rice expects to hit a sales total of 150 by Christmas. Mr. Rice is confident that the idea will be popular and it's not just a hunch he has. His firm of Rice Construction Company Limited of Brampton has been in business for 61 years, building homes, subdivisions, industrial plants and shopping centres. Four years ago the firm started working on a project similar to Sidewalks, curbs and paved roads. Right now, with about 150 homes erected, Mr. Rice calculated that about five million dollars has been invested in the development, Grand Cove Estates is being built in two stages. The first stage, the 90 acres in. Stephen Township will contain over 400 houses eventually, The second stage, in Grand Bend, will bring the total to about 700. Approval for 215 homes in the Stephen Township phase is the limit currently set by the Ministry of the Environment. Grand Cove Estates has its own sewage system including lagoons but the Ministry demanded a commitment from the developer that once sewers were installed in Grand Bend, the Grand Cove Estates would hook up. This would fulfill requirements for the completion of the entire 700 home subdivision. Grand Bend Reeve Bob Sharen said that Grand Cove Estates made a lump sum payment to the village of $93,000 for over- sizing of the pimping station and lagoon. About 1,000 feet of main from Grand Cove to the pumping station, inside the village limits, will be paid for entirely by Grand Cove, The only restriction for residents at Grand Cove Estate's is a "no children" clause. GRAND COVE — Home owner Jack Owen chats with Lou Rice of Grand Cave Estates just north of Grand Bend, Mr. and Mrs. Owen are one of forty couples currently living at the new retirement subdivision, T-A photo Nestled behind some large trees that line highway 21 north of Grand Bend, a bold new concept of retirement housing is taking shape at Grand Cove Estates. Lou Rice, energetic developer of Grand Cove Estates, admitting that the concept may be somewhat bold, claims that it really isn't that new, Grand Cove Estates is basically a housing subdivision where the resident buys a home but rents a lot and depends on the developer to provide all services, including snow removal from a private driveway "The concept appeals to a lot of people," claims Mr. Rice. "For anywhere between $18,000 and $30,000, a couple can pick out the home of their choice from four models available. From then on a monthly rental ranging from $123 to $150 is the total cost of living at Grand Cove Estates," "At first glance this may seem expensive to some people but compared to owning a con- ventional home elsewhere it really isn't," says Mr. Rice. He explains that the rental does away with taxes, water and sewage charges, snow removal and some lawn maintenance. In addition, all residents of Grand Cove Estates have complete access to a"clubhouse" which serves as a recreation and social centre. But perhaps the biggest "plus" of Grand Cove Estates is its sense of community. Since a large portion of the residents are retired and have an abundance of free time, a camaraderie develops very quickly and the plushly appointed clubhouse, which includes an outdoor swimming pool and community laundry facility soon becomes a busy spot. Couples gather for a game of cards or a friendly chat and the weekends often include a community get-together such as the one residents enjoyed on Thanksgiving. The clubhouse is Children may visit of course. If a younger couple moved in and had children later, they would be required to sell. Mr. Rice said the firm would not sell to people whose lifestyle would not be compatible with the concept of Grand Cove Estates. The four homes available at Grand Cove Estates are manufactured in Hensall, only about 15 miles away by Bendix Home Systems. They are ap- proved by Ontario Hydro and meet Canadian Standards Association demands. The homes are placed on small lots which are rented on a 20 year lease. Mr. Rice pointed out that the tennant can break the lease at any time but the developer is required to stick to the lease for the entire period. The depreciation in value on homes such as are in Grand Cove Estates is a myth according to Mr. Rice. He stated that there were instances of homes at Sandy Cove going up 100 percent in only four years, Completion of construction at Grand Cove Estates will likely require three or four years work.
