A section north of Sideroad 5-6 on Cone. 2-3 al Lot 6 is being built up as well as a portion of the Sideroad. The road had to be surveyed because the previous survey done in 1965 allowed only 25 feet for the road which does not constitute a roadway (by today's standards). Mr. Elston expressed concerns that the building-up of the conces­ sion would affect the natural flow of the river which runs along the road, and that the overflow of the river would affect the Elston land. Councillor Keith Johnston advised council that he had spoken to Rick Steele of the Maitland Val­ ley Conservation Authority and was informed that the proposed construction would have a very minimal impact on the upstream or downstream properties. The MVCA had no objections to the work proceeding. Steve Killare of the Ministry of Transportation advised council, through Reeve Doug Fraser, that the MTO was of the opinion that the township had investigated the project and should proceed as the reconstruction would benefit all residents. Mr. Elston informed council that he would hold the township respon­ sible for any damage done to the Elston land at Lot 7, Cone. 3. Council will consult a solicitor regarding Mr. Elston's request for a letter to address his concerns about damages. R.
