The village needed to have a secondary plan in place and also the properties should be submitted in a list to the MVCA instead of individually. The properties would then be evaluated by the Authority and an offer would be made to the owner. The secondary plan for the village is well underway with "special policies" for the plan still under discussion. However, the village intends to submit a list of properties in the flood plain area to the Authority for consideration "within a year's time", said Reeve Clark. Mrs. Glenn, who also attended the meeting, asked council if they could not establish a building on the property, why should they continue paying taxes on the land. "You've accepted our tax dollars for 18 years, but you haven't done anything about it (altering the flood plain designation)," she said. Councillor Ab Murray said the Glenns should appeal their tax assessn fnt. be. cause of the MVCA's policies preventing building on flood plain areas. "If you can't build on your property, then you should appeal on those grounds," said Mr. Murray.
