Two letters questioning
certain aspects about the
closing of Kitchener street
in Grand Bend were placed
before council Monday, with
one letter suggesting'that a
member of council would
benefit unduly from the
street’s closing.
In a letter to council. Mrs.
Mae Morenz stated that the
road allowance would "be
allotted to Wondergrove
Cabins for legal fees of ap
proximately $500 of which
the village taxpayers were
to pay a portion and Deputy
Reeve Simpson the balance.
"Does this suggest a conflict
„of interest? ... I would think
this is a valuable gift at the
taxpayer’s expense."
A letter from Jeanette
Gordon Glazier also ob
jected to the turning of the
road allowance and said that
the land should be appraised
and then be sold to Simpson
at the appraised value.
Prior to the reading of the
letters. Reeve Bob Sharen
and Simpson declared con
flicts of interest and retired
to-the back of the village
hall.
Following a brief discus
sion. council turned the
matter over to planning
board since objections to the I
closing were raised.
#The closing of Kitchener
street has been an ongoing
process for many years with
Murray Dougias. the |
previous owner of I
Wondergrove Cabins first
requesting that Kitchener
street be closed, in 1973.
Council at that time
agreed to proceed with the
closing but the lawyer for
Douglas who was also the
village's solicitor failed to
complete the necessary
legal work.
In 1970 Don Smart
purchased the roller rink
from Eddie Odbert and at
that time Odbert requested
that Kitchener street be
either closed or opened so
that access to the house on
the property could be made.
Late last year Smart re
quested that road be closed.
The request went to plan
ning board in February and
it was approved.
According to the
Municipal* Act when a road
allowance is closed, the land
reverts to the abutting
property owners with the
owners to pay for the
municipalities legal costs in
closing the street.
According to clerk
treasurer Louis Clipperton
the $500 for legal fees which
Mrs. Morenz mentions is not
valid today as the survey
costs and other legal fees
have not been determined at
this point.
Bylaw 445 of the municipal
act states "A person in
possession of and having
enclosed with a lawful fence
that part of an original
allowance for road upon
which his land abuts that has
not been opened for public
use by reason of another
road being used in lieu of it •
or of another road parallel
or near to it having been es-
tablished by law in lieu of it
shall, as against every per
son except the corporation
the council of which has
jurisdiction over the
allowance for road, be
deemed to be legally
possessed of such part until
’ ’ Ml' ~ ” *
a by-law had been passed by
such council for opening it.’’
At no time has Simpson
requested the roads closing
and whenever this issue has
been brought before council,
he has declared a conflict of
interest.

An expenditure of $8,900
• has been approved by the
council of the village of
Grand Bend to prepare an
annexation need study.
Reeve Bob Sharen said
this week that the an
nexation study will be
conducted by .the municipal
planners who have prepared
other plans for the village.
The study will indicate
whether Grand Bend should
continue its efforts to an
nex parts of Stephen and
Bosanquet townships.
Sharen continued, “We
will be pretty well forced to
accept the results of the
annexation study.”
“We could annex ac
cording to the Municipal Act.
The Act states for a
municipality to achieve
annexation all they have to
do is pass a bylaw claiming
the land in question. A copy
' of the bylaw is then sent to
the Ontario Municipal Board
for a ruling,” added the
summer resort reeve.
Sharen said he expects to
call further public meetings
on annexation in April. He
added, “There are two sets
of feelings involved in this
proposal factual and
emotional. We want the
factual feeling.”
Reeve Sharen attended a
recent meeting of Bosanquet
township ratepayers. He
said he was there because
Grand Bend has to be aware
of zoning so close to its
borders.
