Council discusses subdivision The developer planning a new subdivision for East Wawanosh Twp. just south of Wingham on Cty. Road 4, near Hutton Heights received important information at the Aug. 3 session of council. Developer John Beldman, engi­ neer Andy McBride and Joy Rutherford of Duncan and Duncan attended the meeting to discuss council’s position on water and sewer systems. The meeting was held so that Beldman would know what was expected of him prior to submitting a subdivision plan. The proposed development would include IO lots with five pri­ vate wells, each serving two homes, and a Class 4 sewage sys­ tem. McBride said hooking into the Wingham sewage plant or using the municipal water system would not be feasible. A pumping station for 10 lots would also not be cost effective. The property would support a Class 4 system, he said. Rutherford added that fill would I. Mason hosts WMS The WMS meeting was held at the home of Irma Mason. Alice Nicholson read a call to worship.

The lots would sit slightly above road level and be higher at the rear than at the front. During discussion on a commu­ nal well or fewer private wells for the subdivision, councillors ques­ tioned the effect on the well at Hut­ ton Heights. Rutherford said if a communal well was installed it would have to be as far as possibly from the exist­ ing well. The private wells would have no real effect, she said. Beldman added that a communal well would make the development Wescast Industries meets with Team North Huron With construction of the new plant well underway, Wescast Industries has requested a meeting with Team North Huron to ensure the keeping of promises. When the group from Wingham and Turnberry, Morris and East Wawanosh Twps. convinced Wescast the Morris Twp. site was right for expansion more than a year and a half ago, certain com­ mitments were made by the munic­ ipalities. A letter forwarded by Paul Hamel, plant leader of North Huron Casting plant, to all councils involved askeg for a meeting scheduled for Aug. 9. While noting that several of the commitments have been met, Hamel outlined areas for discus­ sion which resulted in unbudgeted too expensive for him and one well for five homes often did not work well. McBride said a communal well is better suited to larger plans such as 20 lots. Reeve Don Schultz noted that council had already agreed on the two homes per well plan provided there was approval from the min­ istry. East Wawanosh Clerk-Treasurer Winona Thompson said the pro­ posed subdivision is still in the developmental stages as the proper­ ty has not yet been rezoned, a developer's agreement must be signed and ministerial approval is needed. one-time costs for the company. According the Hamel, there had been a commitment to waive site fees", including the cost of the building permit. Morris Twp. was unable to waive the fee, costing Wescast $42,120. The extended water service did not meet flow requirements, forc­ ing the company to spend more that $150,000 to build a reservoir and pumping station. The water rates are also 150 per cent higher than at Wescast’s exist­ ing facility. The sewage rates are also higher, $800 more than the north Wingham facility with a similar discharge rate. All issues raised at the closed Monday meeting will be taken back to individual councils for discus­ sion.
