Change in county plan advised for subdivision A subdivision proposed in Turnberry Township, on land designated as agricultural, was discussed at the council's July 5 meeting. Purchasers of the 19 lots, Greenvest Holdings Ltd:, sent a representative, Van Heemst, to inquire about building permits on the land. The Lots include 17-20, 42-46, 71-75, 90-94, Plan Two, Con. 14, the townplot of Wingham, Turnberry Township. Single family dwelling units are pro- posed. George Penfield, from the County of Huron, told Mr. Heemst the homes built on the land would not conform to the , county plan unless the plan was amended. Tice property' owner applies for the amendment. When asked if buyers could get services and build homes without amending the plan, Mr. Penfield said, "It's a gamble. For exam= ple if a .house burned down, the owner could run into problems of not being able to' rebuild. Mr. Heemst said the Health Department approved individual well and septic ,,tanks in .1974. He decided to take the information to Greenvest Holdings and return to the Aug. 2 meeting to present the proposed subdivision. Councilis requesting an itemized bill on the Abraham Drain from 'E. W. Shifflett of Ganisby and Mannerow and an explanation for the long time taken to complete the Fortune Drain specifically and all other drains.

"We should have a completion ..date," Reeve Don Eadie said. The Ministry of Transportation has asked council for comments on a contractor using the McGill gravel pit, lot 15; con. 9. The pit is on a list of bidders for resurfac- ing contracts on. Highway 21. • Council passed a motion that stated it would be poor policy to allow gravel to be taken out of the township that could possibly be needed In the future. Len Baird, road superintendent, pointed out that gravel is scarce and council should buy the pit itself. There was' another appeal on the assessing. of the, Doerr Drain by Cliff Helfer. Mr. Heffer at- tended the council meeting and said in the change of assessment, he seemed .to get the major por- tion of the cost. He was assessed at $149 more. Council is contact- ing the engineer to investigate. Council passed a motion to bill owners of the Bluevale Award drain as presented at the meet- ing, plus bill Elsie Smith's three- quarter lot and that it be the last bill with no further amendments allowed.
