Turnberry allocates
its remaining 36,000
Turnberry Township council is
allocating its $6,000 for tile drain-
age work to three residents who
have reported completing their
tile drains. The amount of work
completed is $24,547.30 resulting
in only 24.44 per cent of the total
cost being allocated to each ap-
plicant at this time.
In order to allocate 75 per cent
of the total cost, $18,410.48 is
needed. Council is hoping that
more funds may be available to
make up this amount but before
applying for more the $6,000 that
is remaining must be spent.
Council came to its decision
Nov. 1 after Clerk -treasurer Dor-
othy Kelly was instructed at the
Oct. 3 meeting to find out who
was proceeding with tile drain
work this year arid the total cost
of work.
Turnberry was alloted $20,600
this year although a previous
questionnaire indicated that
Turnberry would need $65,800
and $72,000 had been °requested
by residents.
MPP Murray Gaunt had told
council that the funds are based
on past requests and Turnberry
didn't have many. The township
had $20,000 alloted last year that
was not used.
Council endorsed a motion
made by the Township of
Charlottenburgh that capital
punishment be placed on the next
voting ballots to be used as a
national referundum.
GREENVEST HOLDINGS
Council discussed an agree-
ment made by Greenvest Hold-
ings Ltd. for a 19 lot subdivision
proposed in Lower Wingham. B.
M. Ross and Associates of
Goderich advised against signing
the agreement until some of the
wording was clarified.
Council passed a motion that
before any more work is done on
the agreement, Greenvest Hold-
ings Ltd. be asked to write and
sign an agreement to pay all fees
pertaining to the agreement
incurred by the township for
• soliciters and engineers.
It also decided to ask Green -
vest if they would agree to B. M.
Ross and Associates writing an
agreement including 'the points
which were omitted from the
original and bring the subdivision
to urban standards.
Mr. McBurney commented
that council has the final say any-
way and that it is setting the re-
quirements, not Greenvest.
Council decided to pass the mo-
tions to protect itself after hear-
ing Greenvest does not intend to
map a plan off the subdivision
until after the agreement is sign-
ed because it would be a big,
expense if the agree ent were
not signed.
Graduate s dents from the
University of Guelph ''affiliated
with the Rural Development Out-
reach Project (RDOP) propose a
microdrainage study of Turnber-
ry to be completed in six months.
The 'students propose to locate,
map and estimate the efficiency
of drains, map poorly drained
mineral soils, identify sensitive
areas . of the township and map
the woodlots and establish the ef-
fect of improving the drainage
ditches on the well-being of town-
ship residents. They would also
set up a continuing monitor off the
drains.
In a letter from Professor D. W.
Hoffman r.,° the university the
students request $500 for ex-
penses. Council passed a motion
that they can do the study if they
wish but council won't pay the
$5000.
Mr. McBurney pointed out that
the RDOP has stated projects
would be free of charge to the
municipality and "now the first
thing they want to do, they are
asking for money."
POST OFFICE
Council is looking further into
the post office situation, in Blue -
vale. The suggestion to buy a
mobile home that postmistress
Marie Walker could live in and
use for postal services was
discussed..
Mr. Malda suggested that if
Miss Walker bought the trailer
the township could charge her
rent for the land. He did not think
it would be a good investment for
council to buy the trailer.
The proposal by Miss Walker
did not include the library.
Council fears the library might
be closed if not kept open for
longer periods than proposed by
Miss Walker.
Council originally agreed that
it build an addition onto the lib-
rary but rescinded the motion
after deciding the cost is too high.
Council had received an estimate
of over $5,000 to build the addition
and put new siding and a roof on
the library.
Council also passed a motionto
notify Goodall and Campbell that
they are no longer required as
township solicitors. A new so-
licitor has not yet been officially
hired.
Septic tanks were approved for
H. Kenyon, G. Patterson and J.
D. Newell. A trailer permit was
approved for Mrs. Lillian Patter-
son on part lot 6, conc. 8 and
building permits were approved
for David Weber, part lot 6, conc.
4; Ron Wingfield, part lot 40,
conc. 1 and Ross McKague, lot 4,
conc. C.
Council agreed that Turnberry
Estates be charged for trailer
permits as homes are sold and
not when they are moved only nc-
eupied.
Council read a letter from R. F.
Preston, real estate manager for
United Co-operatives, of
sauga which objected to a
ance request by John Melton, lot,
20,, conc. 9. The severance would
be for the Wingham Baptist
Church.
Mr. Preston wrote . that the
severancewould be contrary to
good and orderly development to
mix the cooperative busineea
with the church. The church
would be located adjacent to a
plant united co-operatives pro-
poses to build.
He explained that the grain
elevators operate seven days a
week and the silo aeration is
continuous throughout the year.
He said there would be noise and
air problems.
He wanted council to know that
he would be objecting to the
severance at the Huron County
Land Division hearing for this
severance.
Council also received notice of
a change in the Tile Drainage Act
that will be effective Jan. 1, 1978.
No debentures will be purchased
when sold for the purpose of mak-
ing tile drain loans for work
which has been inspected by an
individual who also acts as clerk -
treasurer.
The policy does not apply when
two people fill the positions of
clerk -treasurer and one is also
the drainage inspector. Turn -
berry will not be affected by the
policy because they have a drain-
age inspector separate from the
clerk -treasurer position.
Road and general accounts
were passed by council.
