September 10, X980 DONATION—Jeff Hurst, representing the Belgrave Co-op, presents Allan Bridge and Ken Hopper of the Belgrave Kinsmen Club with a $500 donation for the new Belgrave Park. The presentation was made during a lottery dance last Saturday evening in Belgrave. Mr. Bridge and Mr. Hopper are co-chairmen of the Kinsmen building committee. Town council turns down developer's plea for land Wingham council has re- jected an appeal from de- veloper Hans Kuyvenhoven to add a strip of land to river - front loin in the Maitland Estates subdivision., The land is pare& a tract of bush along the river which, under the terms of the subdivider's agreement, had been turned over to the town as park land. Mr. Kuyvenhoven wanted a strip of it returned to enable him to deepen 10 river -front lots and make them more at- tractive to purchasers. However the town plan- ning board at - its July meeting recommended that the land be kept in the public domain, and council agreed Monday night to follow the board's recommendation. Mr. Kuyvenhoven was represented at the meeting by . his solicitor, Robert Ctm pbell, while from . the :other side planning board members Bill Crump and Anil Bodasingand Huron County Planning Director Gary I Davidson also at- tended, and discussion of the . issue became quite heated. Mr,. Campbell told council his client needs the extra land tohelp hitit sell lots and get -him through a bad year. He reminded council that the town. stands to gain through increased taxes once the lots are developed, and also offered that in return Mr. Kuyvenhoven would develop a, small "tot lot" set aside as a playground at the end of Highland Drive, in Maitland Estates. He said the developer has had the land in question appraised at ,$3,000 and of fered council two options:: it could sell the whole plot to Mr. Kuyvenhoven at some- thing close to the appraised value or it could agree to give purchasers of those lots an option to purchase the additional depth at a set price. He said he was "sitting right now with three offers (to purchase) in my offi6e, and they're -all contingent on getting the extension". However he got into heated arguments with Mr. Davidson over the extent to which the town has' already gone out of its way and given up revenue to assist the development, and with Councilor John Bateson, chairman of the property. committee, over the fair value of the land. Mr. Davidson said that by not taking the five per cent Ievy on land, to which it is entitled, and instead taking only about one-half of one per cent, the town had given up about $80,000. Mr. Camp- bell claimed the planner was using the wrong basis for valuing the land and that the actual figure is only about $4,500. Mr. Bateson called the Goderich Power Squadron A UNIT OF CANADIAN POWER SQUADRONS ANNUAL COURSES in Boating, Seamanship, and Piloting for Power and Soil REGISTRATION AT Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton Wed. - Thurs., Sept. 17, 18, 8 - 9:30 p.m. Canadian Power Squadrons will teach safe boating to over 10,000 Canadians this year. Will you be one of them? offer of $3,000 for the land "ridiculous" and said he was insulted by it, and he wasn't mollified by Mr. Campbell's claim that the figure was just an offer to get things started. "If I wanted to buy your cottage I'd offer you $1,000 just to get you talking," Mr. Campbell explained. "You offer me $1,000 and I won't do much more talking!" Mr. Bateson retorted. "Yon just don't talk to that kind of people ! " Mr. Davidson also denied the claim that it is im- possible to build decent houses on the lots as they are now. They can put reasonable houses on there with the existing lots, he said. Mr. Crump said the planning board's concern is that the proposal would "take a nice, public, wooded area out of public hands. This is the place to stop it, right ,here,1 he declared. "This is the foot in the door and the next thing there won't be a tree down there!' 2' Enrolment is down There was a moderate de-„ Cline in enrolment in the schoolsunder the Huron - Perth County Roman Catho- lic Separate School Board, Bill Eckert, director of edu- cation, reports. Total enrolment for the two -county system is down by 19 students, or 0.7 per cent, over a year ago.
