Turnberry Twp. Council. considers openin new roadway in Bluevale Turnberry council mem- bers have taken the first step in providing for the future development of the hamlet of Bluevale by considering opening a new road there. Council will forward a site plan of the area in question to the Ministry of Transpor- tation and Communications for its comments about the new road and its access onto Highway 86. Dan Campbell of Bluevale attended the June 7 meeting of council to request the road be opened. Council told Mr. Campbell to come back to last Tuesday evening's meeting for further discussion, but he was unable to attend. Councillor Randy Scott declared a conflict of interest in the matter. What Mr. Campbell proposed was to open the road from Lot 25 in Bluevale to Highway 86. Or, if that were not possible, he said he would be satisfied to have the street opened to the third lot where his home is located. Opening a road would make it possible for more rMRS LEWIS STONEHOUSE homes to be built there in the future. The estimated cost of opening the road to the high- way would be $3,500, said Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson. Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune said earlier he had been undecided on the matter, but after some consideration, he said he thinks the road„ should be opened to encourage development in the hamlet. After all, he said, Turn - berry's secondary plan states development should occur in the built-up areas, rather than throughout the countryside. The other members of council agreed with Mr. Fortune. Councillor Joan Wright said having a roadway built there may encourage others to locate in Bluevale. After further discussion, council decided to forward a site plan of the proposal to the MTC for its comments and consideration. • Still with the roads, council was forced to rescind a motion made at the June 7 Belgrave Personal Notes l Mrs. Willard Armstrong visited last weekend with her sisters-in-law, Mrs. Law- rence Armstrong of Windsor and Miss Martha Armstrong of Beaconhill Lodge, Wind- sor.

Tim and Bill Tolton at- tended the last meeting of council to discuss the possibility of the township obtaining ownership of the street past their garage. The street belongs to the Toltons, but they were willing to sell it to the township for the sum of $1.00 in order for it to be paved when the rest of the street is surfaced this summer. Council agreed at the last meeting to purchase the roadway for the amount requested, as well . as agreeing to shoulder any costs of the road closing. Since then, Ross Jackson of the MTC has been in touch with township officials and said his ministry closed the road several years ago and it cannotbe opened again. In fact, Mr. Jackson implied that the MTC possibly will want the street barricaded. The previous motion was rescinded by council since the closing Was done at the request of the MTC. DUMP INSPECTION The Ministry of the Environment did a random inspection of the township waste disposal site June 7. A ministry official phoned the municipal office about the dump site with several complaints: the gate was unlocked; no sign was posted showing hours; no covering of refuse had been done for some time; the road into the dump was rough; and there was an accumulation of fence rolls and scrap at the dump. Mr. Fortune reported the garbage had been covered by a bulldozer operater later the day of the inspection and Mr. Nicholson said all of the ministry's other requests have been taken care of, except for the road grading. In other business, council decided to charge 50 cents per copy, up from 25 cents, for photocopying with a maximum of 20 copies per. customer. "The township can't run opposition with the printing companies," said Mr. Fortune and the other council members agreed, adding that Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly has better things to do than run off photocopies. The discussion arose after Mrs. Kelly reported a local church group recently had over 1,000 copies run off for a special service. Originally, a church representative said he thought only 180 copies would be needed, but due to a misunderstanding it turned out to be over 1,000 and Mrs. Kelly drew the matter to council's attention. Council decided it would not charge the new 50 cent per copy rate, but it will charge the group $85, the cost of a service call to the machine which probably will need to be looked at after doing so many copies, said Mrs. Kelly. Walter Gmetrick attended the meeting to get council's permission to build on a lot in Lower Wingham which is on the fringe of the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity's floodline. Mr. Gmetrick said he is not intending to build in the near future, but he said he wanted council's feelings on the matter. Council members said they had no objections to his request, but cautioned that since he will not be building in the near future, they cannot commit another council. The next meeting of Turnberry council is scheduled for July 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the municipal office in Bluevale. WA ; D ,, PTI.G R Listowel (519) 291-3040 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS VE COME TALK MONEY!
