T-A photo An "E" for effort and excellence By TEb ROWCLIFFE Arftvlini-Ywp. • Ni.,,,N.-vro,qN NOTICE VILLAGE OF GRAND BEND At the request of the Council of the Village of Grand Bend, the Ministry of the Environment has investigated the possibility of installing within the Village a sewage works project, to be owned by the Province of Ontario, consisting of a collector system and treatment facilities which will provide a major part of the Village with sewage service. It is now proposed to construct such works at an estimated cost of $3,117,328 of which an estimated $2,337,995 or a rate of 75 percent of the estimated gross capital cost, will be provided by the Province of Ontario as a financial spbsidy, For services provided from these works, it is proposed to impose an estimated service rate of 63.3 cents per 1,000 gallons of sewage accepted from the municipality, together with a frontage rate, connection charge, and a mill levy as set dut in the third paragraph hereof. The project will consist of the following works initially. The installation of sanitary sewers to be constructed as follows: STREET FROM Road "F" Road "E" Road "E" Road "F" Road "G" Road "F" Road "C" Road "E" Road "D" Road "B" Road "B" Road "0" Road "A" Road "B" Dietrick Street Eilber Street Eilber Street Main Street Morenz Street Eilber Street Alberta Road Lake Road Orchard Street Lake Road Lake Road Highway #21 River Road Highway #21 Highway #21 River Road Sunset Street Highway #21 Lanca'ster Road Sunset Street (Proposed Sewage Pumping Stn. #4) Sauble Road Deviation Road 81 Crescent Highway #21 Deviation Road Sauble Road Gill Road Deviation Road Main Street .Highway #21 Pavillion Lane Main Street King Street Pavillion Lane Pine Street King Street Centre Street Pine Street Huron Street Main Street Park Avenue King Street Beach Lane Beach Street Hill Street Centre Street Beach Street Huron Ave. Oak Street Beach Lane Walker Street Huron Ave. Huron Ave. Centre Street Woodward Ave. Main Street Elmwood Avenue Main Street Warwick Avenue Main Street Queens Street Main Street Highway #21 Main Street Lane Highway #21 Lane Highway #21 Kitchener Avenue Main Street TO Road "G" Road "C" Road "C" Road "D" Main Street Road "A" approx. 250 ft, south of Road "B" Eilber Street approx. 400 ft. south of Main Street approx. 400 ft. east of Eilber Street River Road River Road Alberta Road Alberta Road (Proposed Sewage Pumping Stn. #2) approx. 1400 ft. south of Lake Rd.

It is proposed to raise the necessary annual revenue for the services provided from the Provin- cial sewage works as follows: a frontage sewage rate of 30 cents per foot per annum for 40 years on all lands which front or abut on or connect to the sewers described above, a connection charge of $35.79 per annum for 40 years on owners or occupants of lands for which a sewage service con- nection to the sewers is provided; a 150 percent surcharge on the water bill of domestic users of the system, and a surcharge of 150 percent on the water bill of commercial and industrial users of the system; and a mill levy of 4.0 mills on all assessable property in the Village of Grand Bend. In instances where there is a connection to the proposed sewage works but there is no connec- tion to the water works, the charge for sewage service normally recovered by the water bill sur- charge is to be recovered by the imposition of a foot frontage rate of $76.50 divided by the fron- tage of such lands. This foot frontage rate does not reduce or eliminate any other frontage rates imposed on properties for sewage or water works. In computing the frontage charges, provision shall be made'for the exemption or partial ex- emption from a foot frontage rate and for the determination of such exemption or partial exemp- tion in the following manner: a) A reduction in the case of corner lots at the junction or intersection of streets of 100% of the flankage and a reduction or increase in the case of triangular or irregularly-shaped lots may be made in the foot frontage rate that otherwise would be chargeable thereon, sufficient having regard to the situation, value and superficial area of such lots as compared with other lots, to adjust its frontage charge on a fair and equitable basis. b) Where a lot is for any reason wholly or in part unfit for building purposes, a reduction may be made in the foot frontage rate that otherwise would be chargeable thereon sufficient to adjust its frontage charge as compared with that of lots fit for building purposes on a fair and equitable basis. c) Where a lot, other than a corner lot, has two limits that abut on streets described above and the size and nature of the lot is such that any or all of the works in such streets are not required, a reduction in respect of the works that are not required, so long as they are not required, may also be made in the foot frontage rate that would otherwise be chargeable thereon, sufficient to adjust its frontage charge on a fair and equitable basis. d) In the case of lots that because of the nature of the terrain or the elevation of the sewer, do not derive the same benefit as other lands abutting on the sewer, a reduction may be made in the foot frontage rate which otherwise would be chargeable thereon, sufficient having regard to the benefit derived, as compared with other lots, to adjust the foot frontage rate on a fair and equitable basis. e) The reduction shall be made by deducting from the total frontage of the lot liable to the annual foot frontage rate so much thereof as is sufficient to make the proper reduction, but the whole of the lot shall be charged with the annual foot frontage charge as so reduced. On the basis of these levies, a home connected to the water works and having a lot frontage of 60 feet and an assessment of $2,750 would pay the following amounts annually after connec- tion has been made to the proposed sewage works: 60 ft. lot frontage at 30 cents per foot $ 18.00 Connection Charge $ 35.79 150 percent surcharge on $51.00 water bill $ 76.50 4.0 mills on assessment of $2,750 $ 11.00 Total $141 29 A home not connected to the water works and having a lot frontage of 60 feet and an assess- ment of $2,750 would pay the following amounts annually after connection has been made to the proposed sewage works: 60 ft. lot frontage at 30 cents per foot $ 18.00 Connection Charge $ 35.79 ($76.5,9) 60 ft. frontage at 76 - •per foot $ 76.50 4.0 mills on assessment of $2,750 $ 11,00 Total $141.29 The connection charge may be prepaid in the calendar year in which such sewage service con- nection is installed at a cost of $350.00. Similarly any owner or occupant who desires to com- mute the frontage rate on his lands may,prepay the frontage charge at a cost of $2.93 per foot of frontage. Any ratepayer may, within twenty-one days after the first publication of this notice send by prepaid post to the Clerk of the Village of Grand Bend, at the address given below, a notice in writing stating his objection to such approval or to the imposition of the sewage rates. The Ontario Municipal Board may approve the entering into of an agreement between the Village of Grand Bend and the Crown with respect to the provision of the sewage service and may approve the imposing of the sewage rates, but before doing so it may appoint a time and place for a public hearing when any objections will be considered, but notice of such hearing will be given only to those persons who have given notice of objection as provided for above, Plans and estimates may be inspected at the office of the undersigned during business hours, DATED AT Grand Bend and first published this 12th day of June, 1975.

To sum it up in a word, "Wow"! The first annual Buffaloburger Fest at Grand Bend is over. Although it hasn't been an- nounced by the sponsoring Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce, I think it's safe to say "annual" because with a success such as last weekend, it just has to happen again. , It's all been said by Chamber president George Kadlecik in a "thank you" ad in this edition, in an editorial and a news report but again it was a great weekend. The fact that 11,000 bottles of beer can be snapped open in a couple of days without so much as a harsh word being heard is a truly remarkable feat anywhere. And it's a feather in the hats of all concerned, both organizers and imbibers, that all went so well. No doubt the success of Buf- faloburger Fest will just be the launching board for many more activities and projects by the newly rejuvenated Chamber of Commerce, And if the effort put forth for last weekend is any indicator, we should be in store for some great happenings, + + + With barely time to catch one's breath, the annual Huron Country Playhouse Women's Guild dance takes place Saturday night and then on Wednesday the opening night celebrations as "Barefoot In The Park" is staged for the first time in the new playhouse. Anyone who has been over to the Country Playhouse in the past fewweeks would have been hard- pressed to believe the new building would be ready for the June 25 opening. A few weeks ago I was there and a slab of cement and a few uprights was all there was to be seen. Don't be fooled. Somebody's working hard! A quick visit Monday showed tremendous progress had been made and if they keep up at that rate, the new playhouse will be ready. Staff at the playhouse are in a frenzy getting ready for the opening. One way you could help smooth out the final few days is to report your season ticket sales to those in charge in the Guild or on the Board. Or, if you plan on buying tickets, do so as soon as possible to let everyone know where they stand. Why not drop out to the new playhouse, buy your tickets, and take a look around at the same time. Might be an idea to wear a hardhat though! +++ A Bert Reynold "he ain't"! Would you believe a certain Grand Bend resident got a rejection slip from Playgirl Magazine. The tip we got here at the T-A was that the mysterious hunk of man whose body didn't quite come up to Playgirl stan- dards was fairly well known and was pictured in last week's paper. We checked a copy and thought about Reeve Sharen but after Saturday',s performance we all know Playgirl would jump at the chance.There were a few sad looking specimens among the Lions executive . . . I wonder. + + + BITS 'N PIECES . . . We un- derstand Reeve Sharen is still trying to collect his 'booby prize' from the physique contest. The prize . . . a congratulatory buss from Louise Clipperton. . . . One of the most interesting aspects of thn Buffaloburger Fest, apart from that black and white bikini, was the horseshoe tournament. Seems the hot bed of interest must be up Tuckersmith way as Kippen, Mitchell and area figured in the main prizes. A dark horse for the honors next year is Harold Green who says he'd love to take up the game if he could get some practice in before he has to compete in public. There just may be a few horseshoe pitches appear in the park near the Legion Hall. . . . Despite rumours to the contrary, this column is proof that I actually did survive the weekend.Earlier reports in- dicated that some movement was seen about midnight Friday and the pancake breakfast certainly was delicious. Housing project in Bosanquet A construction project in- volving 500 to 800 detached single family homes and condominiums is planned for Bosanquet Township may have a far reaching effect on a recent study by the Sarnia-Lambton area planning committee. The committee decided last month that if a project is large enough, the committee may review the plan and recommend whether the plan is compatable with the planning study. The project is said to be in the $50-$100 million range and would be located at Cedar Point in Bosanquet township. Times-Advocate, June 19, 1975
