Turnberry assessments will be adiusted6in 1980 Property assessments in Turnberry Township will be based on 1975 market values for the 1980 tax year, township council decided at its July_ 3 meeting Council made the move to eliminate the inequities in the current tax base among prop- erties within certain categories. Building business played a large part in the meeting. The Huron County highways department requested that the township building inspector inform all building permit ap- plicants they will not be allowed to outlet floor drains or overflow septic tanks into county roadside ditches. The department 'also asked that a coDv of building permit applications go to the department before permits are issued. Bryan Brebner received a permit for a $40,000 house, Herb Doerr's application for a permit for a $5,000 pit silo roof Was ap- proved and Jack Ross received a permit for a $10,000 implement shed. Council decided to send Solomon Steckley, RR. 1, Bluevale, a letter explaining that the provincial planning act prohibits it from issuing a buildin¢_ permit for a sprnnd mobile home • for a lot which already has one mobile home. No decision was made by council on a wage increase request by Les Greenaway, building inspector. Council decided to call for tenders for tarring and chipping the B line development road from Highway 4 east to Highway 87.

Mr. A group of residents from Hutton Heights has agreed to withdraw its objection to a zoning bylaw permitting construction of an agricultural -commercial enterprise on a five -acre lot adjacent to that subdivision. A delegation of residents at- tended a meeting of East Wawanosh Township council July 3 and, after discussion with council and township solicitor, Robert Campbell, agreed to drop its objection to the bylaw. The residents had objected to the bylaw permitting storage of two school buses on the property. Construction of a building on the lot, which is part of a farm owned by Mrs. Harold Congram, is well under way. Council has not yet acted on a severance application which would permit the sale of the lot to Keith Montgomery of Wingham. In other business at the meeting council approved a severance for James Coultes on Lot 38, Con. 10, subject to the land being zoned agricultural. commercial. Zoning of the land is intended to prevent the severance from interfering with nearby agricultural operations. Council also gave its approval to severances requested to permit a land exchange between Garth Walden and Douglas and Lynn Smith on Lot 33, Con. 4. Building permits were issued to Adrie Bos for an implement shed; Peter Chandler, an im- plement shed and grain storage; and Harold McClinchey, a silo, and council passed a bylaw making Building Inspector Jim Taylor the township zoning ad- ministrator as well. This makes him responsible for enforcing the zoning bylaws. A grant of $600 was given to the East Wawanosh Recreation, Parks and Community Centre Board to help pay for fire in- surance on the arena. In compliance with an engineer's reccomendation council has requested the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to supply and plant grass seed along the open portion of the Johnston Drain as an erosion control measure.
