HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1986-10-08, Page 21Lions pay $10,368 Problem At their regular session Monday, Grand Bend council met with two deletions. Firstly, they reached an agreement with the GB Lions Club, and secondly gave permission to a11oW more dockage along the river. Representing the GB Lions were Ste�a Kadlecik and Paul Johnson. CotSr�ci1 went behind closed doors with Kitdlecik and Johnson to discuss the recreation property located beside the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 498. When the lights and standards were installed at the diamond several years ago, council had the understan- ding that the GB Lions were to pay this account. On the other hand the Lions thought the village was handl- ing the bill. CIDER DEMO The youngest students at McCurdy school, Huron Park, had a very in- teresting shdw and tell Wednesday morning. Philip and Roberta Walker, of Grand Bend brought their cider press and a supply of both wild and orchard apples, to demonstrate the process of cider making to the children. Students from Kindergarten to grade 3, including the special educa- tion classes, each got a chance to throw their own apples into the fruit grinder. Then they watched with delight as the pulp was squeezed into that delicious brown nectar with the special tang that only fresh cider has, and they each enjoyed a taste of the results. Yummy! of recreation field resolved As a result of this meeting, council received a cheque from the Lions in the amount of $10,368.00 for this recreation property. The balance is to be paid by the village. Lonnie Gower, the second delega- tion heard from, is owner of For Goodness Sake store located beside the bridge on Highway 21 on Ontario Street South. After having his pro- posal for docks recommended by the GB Harbour committee previously Gower wished to obtain a final deci sion from the village. Gower learned after meeting with Robert Cornelieus, of property section of ministry of transportation and communications, London, that part of the property con- cerned in his proposal belongs to the village, and has since 1965. Council gathered around to view' Gower's map of the bridge area. Deputy -reeve Dennis Snider sug- gested that council give Gower a one year lease with the right to renew, and he must pay a $50.00 fee. If and when the bridge on Highway 21 needs widening, this portion of Gower's docks would have to be removed. Gower wished to go ahead right away with the installation of steel pil- ings, as the company is already in the village working at the Thirs- ty Fox docks. Council advised him to wait for their final decision later this week. The actual docks would not be built until spring, Gower explained. It was also found that the width of the river at this point presented no pro- blem to river -navigation. In correspondence, council receiv- ed a letter from the Patio Motel owners, requesting assistance in a drainage problem. As this property is not in the village limits, clerk Dianne Mollard was advised to reply in the negative. "Grand Bend does not have the capacity to drain his property," stated Snider, "and most of the water is coming from the nearby farmland." It was suggested that a municipal drain be installed along gill Road, and the cost shared among those ratepayers. A questionnaire regarding a disaster plan will be completed and returned to the Lambton District Health Council. Under the emergen- cy health services study, Reeve Harold Green felt that Grand Bend's main disaster could be flooding. He explained that council would obtain assistance from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority in that regard. In other business, village secretary, Christine Smith, was authorized to at- tend a ministry of municipal affairs planning conference on November 5. Council agreed to pay the $50.00 registration fee. Support of council was given for two different minor variance applica- tions. Eleanor Delion, Woodward. Ave., and Leopold and Donna Pomes, 18 Oak Street, were granted permis- sion to extend footing adjacent to their property for building requirements.

Sea Hawk Homes Inc. asked council to give them the names of three area contractors to assist Sea Hawk with their building in this area. It was decided that the clerk would mad the firm a copy of Grand Bend and area yellow pages, to be fair to all contractors. Sign permits were granted to Wondergrove, which will now be known as Queen Street Place; and to Kadlecik Construction for their new office property downtown. Councillor Barb Southcott confirmed that both cases had been properly inspected. Don't Forget This Saturday is the annual Farmers Market in the village of Grand Bend.
