GRAND BEND — Will the public be able to use the South Beach at the end of Lake Rd. this summer? Council has scheduled a meeting with the North Shoreline Property Owners Association (NSPOA) .for May 14 to discuss the issue of public use of the popular stretch of beach. "Ability of public access is still a concern," said Coun. Bob Mann, who brought the lingering issue to Monday's council meeting. "The question remains for us whether there will be further conflicts between users and land owners." For the past two summers, the six property owners who belong to NSPOA and have title to the beach, have posted a `Private Beach' sign citing public misuse as a problem. Mayor Cam Ivey told council he received a letter on April 20 from Frank Butterworth, a member of NSPOA, requesting to set upa meeting with council to discuss �N g g the issue. Ivey commented however that despite' attempts to set up a meeting "he doesn't appear to be coming to the table." "We have to take the bull by the horns and set up a meeting ourselves," said Ivey. "The issue is public use," said Ivey. "We want to work out an arrangement." Grand Bend has never made a claim to the land in question. The land located in the Lake Rd. South Beach area is the original Southcott family lots purchased in 1900. When Southcott Pines was established in 1944, this area was not included because it had been already sold to private investors and is not part of the subdivision.
