Times -Advocate, July 23, 1986 Page 15 Pipeline comes one step closer The pipeline to bring water from the pumping station in Grand Bend to Drysdale along Highway 21 is another step closer to reality. Included in the agenda of the second regular monthly meeting of Hay township council was a letter from the project engineering branch of the ministry of the environ- ment providing details of payment procedures to be followed to obtain the grant promised by the provincial government to help pay for engineer- ing fees and construction of the water system. Mail -outs giving details of the cost to property owners will go out to 1,700 ratepayers by July 25. The deadline for registering appeals to the pipeline bylaw is August 15. MTC has authorized a supplemen- tary subsidy allocation of $22,500 toward the $30,000 estimated cost to repair the deck on the bridge which spans the Ausable River on Conces- sion 2-3. • After representing Hay at a court of revision in Exeter on the Beaver drain, councillor Murray Keys said he felt "the way the assessment was done wouldn't stand up in court." He also advised the township to make clear to the engineer that if the open ditch is closed in the future to become part of of Exeter's storm sewer system, Hay should be charged as it will receive no benefit. Reeve Lionel Wilder reported that the preliminary meeting on the Ex -NHL player at Dashwood UC Dean Prentice will speak at the Dashwood United Church on July 27 at 10:00 a.m. He is from the Canadian Hockey Association Hockey Ministries. A special film called "Break - Away" will also be shown. Music will be by Janna Lyn Rutledge, who has sung on 1000 Huntley St. and is a professional ac- tress and singer. This is a special Sun- day and an excellent time to invite anyone and everyone, especially youth and friends. Zurich drain was "a complete waste of time," as the engineer had not look- ed at the drain, and knew less than the 50 people in attendance who wanted answers to their questions. A favourable report was received from the ministry of the environment on the township's landfill site. The on- ly criticism was the failure to erect signs forbidding the burning of domestic waste. The site supervisor will be sent a copy of the letter and asked to comply with the ministry's request. An application by Larry Regier to sever a house, shed and barn at lot 22, concession 9 was approved provided it conformed to all provisions of the township's secondary plan. One sec- tion states that such severances are only granted if accompanied by a manure disposal agreement with an adjacent landowner registered on title. Councillor Don Weigand said that as the proposed property was 510 feet from the road, the severance would create a free-standing lot in the mid- dle of the farm. Keys moved approval of the severance, saying he was concerned about keeping tax assessment in the township. Wilder, who is chairman of • the Huron County planning and develop- ment committee, said - more severance applications have been brought before the county in 1986 than in the previous five years, because "everyone is trying to get on the band- wagon before (agriculture minister) Jack Riddell puts the freeze on severances." Jake Peters' petiton for a municipal drain at lot 13, concession 8 to carry water now being dumped in his field to a satisfactory outlet was approved, subject to ABCA approval. W.J. Bartlett will be asked to bring in an engineer's report. Kathy Hayter wrote to inform coun- cil that the building of a senior citizens' apartment in Dashwood has been shelved for the time being, as too few people were ready to make a commitment to move in right away.
