Lambton Shores, Beach O'Pines and Huron Woods (LS, HW, BOP) are attempting to resolve the outstanding road issues related to the private road system, Beach ()'Pines has been a gated commu- nity for more than 80 years. 'this community has paid for road maintenance, insurance and utilities since the beginning. Two por- tions of this road system are the issue at hand; one being Huron Place, a road deemed to be a public road in the 1980s as a means to allow for development. The designation was never withdrawn following the construction of the homes. Beach ()'Pines Association continued to maintain this road throughout the years. The second section of Beach 0' Pines Road that is a "public road" is at the very end of that road adjacent to the Pinery Provincial Park boundary. This portion of road was owned by Ausable Estates Limited and was sold to the Municipality in 2009. Again this section of road was acquired because of the owner's reluctance to sell it to the Beach 0 Pines Homeowners Associa- tion unless certain other issues were resolved relating to the Huron Place section of road, the granting of utility easements to the Municipality etc. The BOPA has agreed to those other conditions and has agreed to reimburse the Municipality for its costs (purchase and legal) associated with its acquisition of this property. In order to correct this situation it recom- mended that the "public road" designation be removed from these two locations and the road revert back to its "private road" status. One of the issues they needed to address in implementing this change was to ensure that the access rights of residents of the Huron Woods subdivision, Beach 0 Pines he protected. The lawyers for all three parties (LS, E3OPA and the MCA) have all reviewed and agree to the proposed transfer, Not so cut and dry Councilor Doug Bonesteel said this has been a controversial issue and now the two communities want to work together.

Deputy mayor Elizabeth Davis Dagg asked what the value of these roads are to Lambton Shores and also what were the legal and survey costs during the negotiations. CA() John Byrne said a nominal fee -one or two dollars- was paid. "Nothing signifi- cant", he said adding BOP will reimburse the transfer costs. Ile said there is no change in value since it was transferred. The costs come to under $7,000. Davis Dagg asked if this included the beach access. Byrne explained the access was not part of this negotiation. They were highlighted only as a general reference on the map in the council agenda package. l le explained the legal fees during this time were for municipal pur- poses for both communities. "The legal advise was shared by all three," Byrne said referring to HOP, HW and the municipality. Ile said this was not part of any kind of adversary litigation. Councilor Lode Scott asked what the value of the unopened road was. "'There is no assessed value. It is built on sand with a thin layer of asphalt," said Byrne adding its being transferred back the same way. "It is a piece of land- how much is it worth?" she asked. Mayor Bill Weber said there is no access to this road. Scott feels they should he mak- ing money on this transaction. Bonesteel said they should defer this resolution until the September so they can get all the "strings tied up" 1le said this would give them the opportunity to meet with the two groups. woo wisest* owe Councilor Martin Underwood said value of land can come in many ways and having public access to the towpaths is invaluable. Davis Dagg said there are obvious benefits to Lambton Shores and to Beach 0 Pines. She asked if BOP would be involved if sewers come to zones 3 and 4. "I want to know these answers," she said. From Huron Woods Community Association President Lily Pinarello reported to coun- cil stating at a special meeting held on Friday, August 5, the Huron Woods Com- munity Association board of directors received unanimous direction from the membership in attendance to support the option of Blanket Authorization to register on individual deeds, (the same pedestrian rights of way as we have over other Beach 'O Pine roads) over the proposed private Huron Place, including the small section at the Pinery Provincial Park boundary, referred to in the Byrne's report, at no cost to the individual nor the association. Furthermore, we request an opportunity to present a proposal to the Council members regarding legal costs incurred in researching this issue. "Should Council move forward with the conveyance, we would continue to facilitate this process and look forward to working with the Municipality to make sure every- one in our community has been notified," she said. Beach 0' Pines Association president Peter Coleman declined comment regard- ing this meeting.
