Huron Expositor, 2001-07-25, Page 15News THE HURON EXPOSITOR. August 1, 2001-3 Future of road allowance and development of properties, unkown sy Scott Hllg.ndorff Expositor Editor The fate of a Church Street road allowance in Egmondville remains unknown as council seeks more answers before it will decide whether or not to sell part of the road allowance to re§ident, Marlene Smith. Before Peter Jansen would consider council's possible compromise to sell half the road allowance to him and half to Smith, Jansen questioned whether or not it would matter if there were drains on that property. Smith would like to develop two lots on her property and her lawyer, Frank Cameron, explained to council at its July 24 committee meeting, that owning half the road allowance would give better room for proper septic systems on the lands. Cameron said the Huron County Health Unit recommended having the extra 33 feet of land would be a benefit to constructing the systems. Jansen was concerned Smith's plans would end up landlocking a parcel of his land and preventing him from considering any kind of future use for the property. While he has no immediate plans for the land, Jansen told council if it became land -locked, it would be worthless to him. Cameron suggested dividing the road allowance Adamson appointed Bonnie Adamson, chief executive officer of the Huron Perth Hospitals Partnership has joined the Canadian College of Health Service Executives (CCHSE) Board of Directors.

The vision of the College is to "lead and promote the profession of health services management." in half, if council was willing to sell it, would allow Jansen room to have a laneway that could reach that parcel of land. "She simply wants to develop as sensibly as possible, two Tots to the west," said Cameron. However, Jansen was not happy about the idea of having to purchase the land in order to keep his property accessible. Jansen also pointed out the drain issue. "That's not just 33 feet of nice dry land," he said of what would be his half of the road allowance. "We can't make a decision until we know," said Mayor Lin Sterner of the concern about whether or not there were drains under the road allowance and what function they served. McKillop Coun. Sharon McClure asked if Smith could go ahead without the extra land and still be able to put in a weeping system. Cameron said the health unit recommended the extra land would be ideal but when pushed by McClure, said the unit did not say it had to be there. Council decided to wait until they could get more information about the possible drains on the road allowance before making a decision about what to do with the remainder of the Church Street extension. The road allowance runs from the end of Church Street to the Bayfield River. ytie(inesd 2) hkirsday '' Saturday , �� y (At. e; Sun(ia M(indnY; (/N 1 ' \-4)C ke rc; 1 Village of Dublin On - 45-2250. 1-800"265-65M . .
