A Bluevale couple’s application
for a zoning change was approved
by Morris-Turnberry council at its
Dec. 4 meeting.
Peter and Carol Rose were
granted the change for part of lot 32,
concession 1, Turnberry. The
amendment was a condition of a
previous severance which creates a
new lot.
In addition, council had to legally
assume and open a portion of
Orange Street that, according to
administrator clerk-treasurer Nancy
Michie, the municipality has been
maintaining for years but had never
officially assumed.
Without the street being officially a
public road, there would not be
access to a public roadway for the
new lot and it would not be approved
for a zone change.
While none of those present at
the meeting beside the Roses
opposed the zoning change, that
didn’t mean it all went smoothly.
Myron Shwadchuck complained
that the municipal road crew does
not maintain the extra portion of the
street, stopping and backing up and
leaving him snowed in in winter. He
suggested construction of a cul-de-
sac that would allow the snowplow
to turn around, not back up.
“My feeling is that we get on
with this (the zoning amendment)
and deal with the services and the
road later,” said mayor Dorothy
Kelly, while promising to explore
the issue of road maintenance.
Another neighbour, Bill
Armstrong, owner of a nearby farm,
asked for council’s help in keeping
ATVs and snowmobiles off his land.
There had been a good line fence
there but it had been taken down in
several places by those wanting to
drive through, he said. It had been
posted with no trespassing signs but
they had disappeared. “I guess
they’re adorning a recreational room
someplace,” he said.
Councillors suggested he would
need to work with neighbours, and
perhaps police, to deal with the
problem.
