Water topic of Hay Water - in municipal ana private - drains, in barns, in the lake or from the tap - spurted up in every discus- sion beween Hay township councillors and various delegations at the coun- cil's first May session. Ten affected property owners and Bob Fisher representing the village of Zurich sat in on the reading of the final report on the Truemner dram. Engineer Bruce Holdsworth gave a brief history of the drain. and pointed out on a map some of the severe ero- sion problems to be corrected when the drain is repaired. The estimated cost of $56,100 which includes $26,000 for labour and $27,070 for materials will pay for straighten- ing where the drain has been meandering, and stop erosion at vulnerable sites by cutting off one bank and protecting the other with riprap, clearing brush, and other remedial measures. The drain affects 4.20tf acres. Holdsworth said he is recommending a buffer strip six feet wide on each side of the ditch. He said everyone should be watching for erosion pro- blems on their own property, adding that OMAF grants will pay up to 55 percent of,krosion control measilreson private property up to a maximum of $7,500. The date for a court of revisiion on the Truemner drain has been set for June 3 at 8:30 p.m. Tendersmillbe called if there are no appeals. Richard and Mary (Sloan) Ewasek drove from Dearborn, Michigan, to be part of the discussion concerning the Ron Overholt zoning amendment re- quest for Lake Road West concession. lot 6, from recreational to restricted agriculture. County planners Patty White and Wayne Caldwell. and Warden Paul Steckle were there for the same purpose. The diagram with Overholt's original application last year showing the creation of three lots was turned down, as the minimum/size is one acre. The number of lots was reduc- ed to two, and Overholt applied to sever one. An application to sever the other followed last month. • - Neighbouring cottage owners have told Reeve Lionel Wilder they are concerned that there is no access to the beach from the two lots. They fear loss of privacy that would likely result i( )1 I I'1.1.1� (?

Overholt indicated he was willing to change the land use designation on the property behind the two lots from its current recrea- tional to restricted agriculture. The two planners said council could stipulate in the secondary plan that only the two lots in question could be .severed, or could encourage Overholt to proceed by the more formalized plan of subdivision process where conditions governing matters such as lack of beach access would be part of a developer's agreement. Steckle, as a member of the coun- ty planning committee, spoke in favour of the latter course. He said the plan of subdivision would give future councils the least problem. ad- ding that applying a bandaid solution or changing designation doesn't resolve the problem. Council was divided on how to deal with the situation, as Overholt was not present. Claire Deichert moved a mo- tion, seconded by Murray Keys, that a decision be deferred until Overholt has an opportunity to discuss the mat- ter with council. He will be invited to attend the next regular meeting on May 21. Rosaire Bedore came to council because spring runoff had flooded his property at lot 21. concession 14. He said he had two feet of water in his barn, and had to do his chores in hip boots. His cattle were in water up to their knees. Bedore said he has had serious problems ever since the township raised the road, preventing water from running across: . Bedore requested another culvert be installed to solve the problem. Wilder -promised that he would ac- company road superintendent Ross Fisher and Councillor John Elder. commissioner of drains in that end of the township, to. make an on-site in- spection and bring a recommendation to council. A complaint of excess water from the Co -Op property was received from Mrs. Ruby Neeb. Wilder doesn't think the township can do anything until the Zurich south drain is cleaned. Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard reported receiving "a lot of flak" in the past 10 days from people "hungry for decent water." John Elder pointed out that the :33 percent of the 800 affected property owners in the Highway 21 area who are willing to put up -front money in- to a pipeline project are too few. Without government backing, the twonship can do nothing, as $2.5 million would be required to build the system. The new government might be willing to listen, but if they opt for a summer recess, the legislature will not sit again until September. Ted Soudant brought a fence pro- blem before council. He explained that part his family's portion of a fence in heavy hush between themselves and the Ray Rader pro- perty had been damagedin the winter 6)0 (j(impiei Monday evening the movies shown were "Music Box" and "Wedding Bells"- This will conclude the movies for the season until (he shorter days in the fall.

Rader wants the fence repaired im- mediately, so he can put his cattle out to pasture. Soudant said he is most willing to fix the fence, or provide money for stakes and barbed wire, but right now his first priority is planting $60,000 worth of seed potatoes. Wilder said if Rader makes a for- mal complaint, the fence viewers will be called in to establish responsibilities. Council will take no action on a re- quest by Dashwood for a further $1,500 for repair of the Community Centre roof until the work is tendered and they are supplied with figures.
