ith road
program
Lucknow Village Council will proceed with
its entire road program this year as the
town's engineer has decided' storm sewers
will not be required at this time on Havelock
Street.
Councillors were concerned they would
not be able to complete all of the
construction slated for this year because the
engineer's report prepared by Burns Ross
and. Associates, Lucknow's engineering
firm, had indicated storm sewers would be
necessary along the Havelock Street section
which is to be reconstructed,. Council
considered storm sewers unnecessary be-
cause there is considerable gravel content in
that area of town and drainage is good.
The engineer's final 'decision says a storm
sewer is unnecessary at this time and a dry
well can be installed instead. •
Construction will bring Havelock , Street
from Ludgard Street to the railway tracks up
to MTC standards. Ludgaid Street from
Haveclok Street to New Delhi Street will also
be reconstructed and a new water main will
be installed along Ludgard as well.
Reconstruction will include hot mix paving
and storm sewers where necessary and a fire
hydrant will be installed on Ludgard at the
New Delhi street. corner.
The total cost of construction and road
maintenance in the village this year will
amount to a total of $114,000. Half of the
amount will be MTC grants and the other
hUlf will be funded by the village. Of the
grant portion, $25,200 will be spent On road
construction and $21,800 on maintenance.
Construction is scheduled to begin soon
and the work on Havelock Street is to be
completed in time for this year's tractor pull
in July.

A dumping, area for scrap located 111 afield at the south end
of • Bob Street is treating considerable headaehes • for
Lucknow village council. George NeWbold,••adMinistrator of
• 'Pineciest 'Manor,' has • requested council tohave the scrap.
removed because it IS a non-conforming land use An a •
residential area. l'iewbold said the natural view •was one of
. the reasons he btillt • the nursing home in that section of
from page 1 r would be obligated to prove the site was
creating a health problem.
Councillors Ab Murray and Eldon Mann"
who had visited the, site earlier in the day
commented no raw garbage was dumped
there, and it did not appear to be a. breeding
ground for rats and , vermin. All of the
refrigerators had their locks removed so the
site did not present a hazard to children
. either.
"It's net really a dump," said Murray.
--
"It's hard to look at, but that's really all."
Mr. Brophy suggested council has two
avenues under the planning act. They could_
spot zone the -property residential. The
dump site would be classified a non-con
forming land use and would not be permitted
to grow but council ^would not be allowed to,
close down the site, because it was in
existence prior to the zoning.
Council indicated their hesitation to spot
. zone the land use of the property..,
"You can't, pick on one property when
there are three or four others in town that
are worse," commented councillor Eldon
Mann. •
Council's only real alternative' according
to the town solicitor is to pass a property
standards by-law. "One you pass the thing,
however," observed Brophy, "you get right
into it."
"Property standards by-laws create, con-
flict," he added. "Those who have it, there
isn't a moment they don't wish they didn't
have it."
David Newbold told council a resident on
Bob Street recently had his house appraised
and there are four places in that appraisal
where the dumpsite is mentioned, as devalu-
ating his property.
Councillor Murray said he and councillor
Mann looked over the site and then walked
across ;the backyards between Elgin and
. Willoughby Streets. He commented he
would rather look out on the dump site than
the view of the Lyons' backyards on
Willoughby Street.
He said council has to try and work along
with Jim Lyons.
"We have to go to him and say, "Jim, you
have to clean up your act." He told council
he and Mr. Mann had attempted to speak
with Mr. Lyons that afternoon but he was not
at home and his wife did not know where he
could lie located.
Councillor Murray and councillor Mann
agreed the problem is not only the duinpsite
in the field beyond Bob Street, but the yards
surrounding the two Lyons' homes on
Willoughby Street and their barn and
property across from their homes.
Murray said he would attempt to find Mr.
