The Citizen, 1998-09-09, Page 9Flying high It was fun and good times for the 40 to 50 racers who gathered near Walton on Sept. 5 to take part in the first Supercross under the lights. Riders from beginners to Pro-Ams raced heats during the afternoon, then took to the tight-cornered, multi-jump track at the farm of Chris and Judy again after dark. Organizer Chris Lee said this was a trial run to work out any bugs with the lights and may be back next year as a series of evening races.

The amendment would change the zoning from D (development) to VR1-3 (village residential low density-status zones) for the 2.9 hectare property. The status zoning recognizes the 15 metre frontage on Mary Anne Street, thereby allow- ing the south easterly lot line which abuts Lot 42 to be deemed the front lot line of the property. As the lot includes part of St. Helens Creek, it is subject to fill and construction regulations of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. An agreement has been reached between the township and the prop- erty owners regarding the upgrad- ing of Mary Anne Street. It is proposed that a single family dwelling with accessory buildings be constructed on the lot. The amendment was approved. Council agreed to sell gravel to Wayne Todd from Johnston's pit at the going rate less 25 per cent due to the inferior quality of the gravel, for the upgrading of Mary Anne Street. A quote for a new truck from Suncoast Ford Sales Ltd. was accepted by council provided the $1,500 cash back is available. Councillor Neil Rintoul had previ- ously declared a pecuniary interest on the issue. The old truck will be sold to H.J.'s Used Cars and Truck for $1,250. Grant Thornton was appointed to provide audit services for the town- ship beginning with the year ending December. The fee for disposing of tires under 20" at the landfill site will be reduced to $2. Road and general accounts were approved for payment in the amounts of $22,899.63 and $95,005.61 THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1998. PAGE 9. W.
