berry council discusses
and expropriation procedure
Solicitor Robert Anderson
Qf15t. atford attended last
Tuesday evening's meeting
(if . Turnberry council to
discuss the procedure to be
followed for expropriation of
land for the Eadie Bridge.
The township has been
authorized to expropriate
one-quarter acre from Lorne
Baird, Lot 16, Con. 10, for'
road diversion, highway
widening and bridge con-
struction.
• Reeve Brian McBurney
said now that the ex-
propriation has been ap-
proved the lawyers may go
ahead and draft ,The ap-
propriate papers. Mr. Baird
will receive a $200 com-
pensation for his legal fees,
although no price for his land
has been arrived at yet.
Reeve McBurney said it
could be up to 90 days before
construction on the bridge
can commence, but he added
that tenders have not yet
been called for, and it would
be Sept. 1 before actual work
is started.
Mr. Baird was concerned
that the construction would
destroy the cool water
springs which service his
trout pond. A• hearing of
necessity was held April 22
which stated the proposed
road work will have minimal
negative impact 'on• Mr.
Baird's land. A hydrology
report also was submitted
which said the construction
should not harm the trout
pond's springs.
BLUEVALE HALL
In other business, council
went into committee -of -the -
whole to discuss the Bluevale
Community Hall. The muni-
cipality has been torn
for several years whether it
should construct a new hall
or make repairs to the
existing one.
A meeting was slated for
June 8 at 9 p.m. at the hall to
discuss the question. Council
was expected to make some
monetary commitment
toward the ' hall at that
meeting.
Following some discussion
in committee -of -the -whole,
council agreed to match.
funds with Morris Township
up to $5,000 for capital ex-
penditures
on the hall.
Council also proposes to
enter into a long-term
agreement with Morris -to
cover one-half of the hall's
operating deficit.
Council was informed that
Fred Brewer intends to erect
a fence between his property
and the hall property. The
hall committee wanted
council to be aware of the lot
line to ensure that Mr.
Brewer fences in the right
place. This matter also was
to be.discussed at the June 8
meeting.
Council members were
urged to attend the meeting
and present their position to
the hall committee.
CLEAN-UP BILL
Turnberry Township
received a bill for $195 from
Bruce Foxton of RR 3, ,
Wingham for moving stones
for Lynn Hoy on Highway 86
just west of Wingham.
Mr.. Hoy had asked the
township to remove the
stones approximately one
year ago, but it was never
done.
He employed Mr. Foxton
to clear the area and billed
the township for the use of a
truck, a loader and Mr. Fox -
ton's labor.
Deputy Reeve' Doug
Fortune said if that were the
case, "anybody can clean up He added there are
and bill the township". -._.. possible lots - available in
Councillor ..John Cox
argued Mr. Hoy deserved an
answer after one year and
the matter should have been
looked into long ago.
Following some discus-
sion, council decided against
paying Mr, Foxton's bill
since it had not previously
been authorized.
Council also ' decided
against paying $250 to Bill
Melton for damages to his
tractor when it hit the side of
the Eadie Bridge.
The insurance company
looked into Mr. Melton's
claim and refused to make
payment because it said he
should have been able to see
the railing on the bridge.
CHURCH SCHOOL
BYLAW
Council authorized the
establishment of a site plan
control bylaw and a zoning
bylaw to allow construction
of a Baptist school on Lot 57
of the B-line.
The site presently is zoned
developmental -industrial;
the proposed zoning change
will make it institutional.
Council also discussed
Harry Sjaarda's proposal to
sell two acres of land on
Highway 86 to 'the.Wingham
Pentecostal Church for the
construction of a new church
and parking lot.
Mr. Fortune expressed
reservations over the
proposal, stating that the
township secondary plan
recommends that in-
stitutions such as schools
and churches be located in
urban areas
Lower Town, and to the north
of Wingham
Mr. Cox said that he
"couldn't see hindering a
guy" from selling -apiece of
property if he has the
chance, since most people
are finding it hard to make
ends meet today
Mr. Fortune said it was
zoned restricted agricultural
land in the secondary plan
and in order for a severance
even to be considered the
property would have to be
rezoned for institutional
purposes.
He said it "wouldn't have a
prayer" of being granted a
severance under the
provisions of the secondary
plan.
Reeve McBurney said
since no formal application
for a severance has been
made, there is nothing for
council to do about the
matter .at the present time
anyway.
WINUHAM RESOLUTION
Council endorsed, after
brief discussion, a resolution
put forward by the town of
Wingham for a private
member's bill which would
enable an alternate to sit on
county council in the absence
of the reeve.
Mr. Fortune said it is up to
the community to elect a
reeve who will attend county
council on a regular basis.
Mr. Cox said a
municipality should have a
representative at county
council at all times to report-
back
eportback to the township council..
Reeve McBurney told
council most county council
business is conducted in
committee. Anyone who
walked in cold to -a meeting
of county council would be
totally lost if he were not
acquainted with its
procedures.
Council received a request
for an alternate school bus
turnaround for the children
of Ben Dekker of Lot 29, Con.
12. The existing turnaround
location is considered
dangerous because the
approach to the turnaround
point is not within clear view
of motorists.
M.r. Fortune said council
has been approached many
times in the past by residents
wanting the township to con-
struct new bus turnaround
sites.
It was decided the
Dekker's should put in a new
gate entrance, on their
property for easy school bus
accessibility.
Ross Doll of RR 2,
Wingham, attended to ask
council if he could build an
entrance from the road into
Lots 135 and 136 in Lower
. Town.
Mr. Doll explained that he
hopes to build a home on the
property one day, but he
must make improvements to
the area first, and to do SOW
4 eqU reS an entranceway for
easy access.
Council offered to sell NSC
Doll the a road allowance:
" adjoining the property. If he
owned the road allowance he
would be able to build an
entranceway wherever he
wished. The road allowance'
would be his for whatever
the legatees might be.
Mr. Doll was agreeable to
the offer and promised to
return when he had clear
- title to the property. The
road closure then must be
advertised for three con-
secutive weeks before tike
transaction takes effect.
GIANT TO
HOMEMAKERS
Council granted $500 to the
Town and Country
Homemakers of Wingham.
The group needs funds for a
down payment on the hotlke
which contains its offices.
Mr. Fortune said the
homemakers provide a:,,
worthwhile service to the
elderly and the infirm. The
group relies on operating
grants from the county and
the surrounding municipal-
ities.
Reeve McBurney said he
could not understand why
the provincial government i
does not subsidize ,the
homemakers. He said the •
services and care provided
by the group probably keep
many people out of the
hospitals.
Council received and
accepted rive applications
for building permits: Grant
Wilton of Lot 8, Con. 8; a
garage and storage shed;
Charles Acheson of Lot 12,
Con. 1, the demolition of a
barn; Murray Hall of the
south point of Lot 5, Con. 7, a
garage; Elliot Mair of the
south point of Lot 16, Con. 12,
a trailer home; and, Harry '
Vollmer of Lot 18, Con. 10, a
laundry and mud room.
