Times-Advocate, 1983-06-29, Page 13Hay, Huron Farm agreement nearer proceedings seemed to move as slowly as water through a clogged drain when members •of Hay township council met for their second regular June meeting in the hot, muggy atmosphere of the council chamber on Thursday evening. Appropriately. drains were one of the first items on the agenda. Stanley township councillor Clarence Rau and Hay township resident Gerry Flanagan attended the ses- sion to question township engineer Bruce Holdsworth about certain aspects of the Drysdale Municipal Drain repair and improvement report. Flanagan wanted to know why his wife Irene's assess- mentwas so high. Holdsworth explained that part of the figure representedthe cost 01 trucking away the spoilage: He said Mrs. Flanagan had the option of accepting an allowance to compensate her for crop damage, and then taking responsibility herself for having the dirt hauled away. Flanagan said he wish- ed to get further legal advice, and would contact the engineer as soon as he had done so. in the meantime. Iioldsworth will prepare ex- act figures on the allowance. Rau said the total assess- ment to. Stanley and Hay of S4.620 each seemed quite high. but realized nothing could be done about it. Municipalities do not qualify for the agricultural subsidy grant. They receive only a 50 percent maintenance subsidy. The date of a court revision on the Drysdale drain has been postponed until Mrs. Flanagan makes her decision.. Earl Long and Chris Little appeared before council to discuss the development agreement for Huron Farms. Council and the developers agreed the two streets would be named Beaver and Snell, after the two previous con- secutive owners of the property. Little said approval had already beenreceived for separate wells and septic tank systems on each property. A hydrologist's report showed good ground water was available. Utility lines will be underground, and no easements will be required because the roads will be public. The developers wanted to know if council would hold one lot as security in lieu of the two percent parkland or cash equivalent of the raw value of the land.. When 80 percent of the lots are sold and the roads are ac- ceptable by MTC standards. Hay will take over maintenance of the roads. Clerk -treasurer Joan Ducharme made a list of the points to be''discussed with Huron County planner Gary Davidson before the agree- ment is drawn up. Reeve Lionel Wilder assured the 'nen Hay council would do everything possible to facilitate matters. A pro- sperous industrial park will benefit the township too. Cromarty By MRS. ROBERT LAING Rev..

Hensall and Community Horticultural Society are having a Most Improved Property Contest for the 1984 Hensall Centennial Anyone interested in entering contact Eileen Rannie by July 15, 1983 Phone 262-2005 NOTICE Water Consumers Village of Hensall Lawn watering restricted until further notice. Hensall Public Utilities Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA' 4827103 A letter from Bayview pro- perty owners asking for first. right .of refusal if Smith Brothers ever decide to sell the Bayview Water Distribu- tion System was discussed. At present each property owner pays $80 per year, and fear was expressed that under a new owner they would have no control over costs. Wilder explained that because of the terms of the subdividers' agreement with. Hay township, the present owners would first have to come to Hay council if they did consider selling. Council moved to take no further ac- tion until the matter was discussed with the present owners of the water system. After someone ran into an open culvert on a road mark- ed with "closed" signs and barricades while a private - drainage outlet was being in- stalled, road superintendent Ross Fisher was instructed to have a township employee on hand during similar opera- tions in the future. The municipality has full in- surance coverage for such ac- cidents, but the presence of a township employee will en- sure that adequate safety measures are being taken by the contractor, and that the work is being done properly. The roads department was given pelrmission to shorten their lunch hour to thirty minutes. The men will now work from seven a.m. until four -thirty p.m. Two severance applications were approved, one for lot 5 on Lake Road West owned by Barbara Rau, and the other for lot 23, concession two, owned by Peter Ond. The Oud property containing the facilities for the turnip plant will be severed from the rest of the property, which will continue to be used for cash crops.. The latter severance is subject to compliance with Hay's secondary plan, and removal of a trailer from the property. Wilder commented that it would be much easier if all severances in Hay were denied, as "we are creating future problems." He men- tioned the fact no severances are allowed in Stanley at present. After a meeting between Wilder, Claire Deichert and Ausable Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority representative Tom Prout about the increas- ed charge for cleaning the Visscher dram, the Authority agreed - to return to the originally agreed charge of 15 cents per Tile drainagfoot.e applications totalling ;16,800 were authorized at a special meeting on June 2. A special meeting on June 9 was held to sign a resolution giving Earl Becker. lot 7, concession 14, permission to cross the road with a drain. The township will supply the culvert, and Becker will pay all other costs. The next regular tneeling of council will be on July 4 at 7:30 p.m. tta,.
