Gives permission to erect modular home in Reach The door has been opened, at least partially, for modu- lar homes in Scugog town- ship. Council passed a resolu- tion Monday night allowing a Toronto couple to bring a used modular home to a 53 acre site they own in Reach township, if the home meets the specifications of the Scu- gog building code. Another motion was passed asking the clerk and building inspector to draft a section to add to the building bylaw to cover factory built homes. Mr. C.E. Watson asked permission to move a 24 foot by 52 foot modular home to Concession 7, lot 11 of Reach from Barrie. Councillor Neil Hunter said there is nothing wrong with a factory built house as long "as it meets building code specifications. With the price of houses today, he suggested, this might be a way ~to get lower priced housing. Council was told the modu- lar home in question met all Canadian Building code standards. 3 again next season. REDMAN'S FISH & CHIPS © CLOSING e SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6th until Spring We would like to Thank our customers for their pagronage and look forward to serving you The Redman's Residents of Highland Beach who complained they get no township services except fire protection were told they have a long compli- cated process ahead even for minimal services. A 30-signature petition which strongly protest increases in taxes and refu- sal by Scugog council to grade oil and properly main- tain Highland Beach Road, - was received by council. The petition stated that the property owners on the beach, located off of Coulter Street received no road maintenance, no garbage pick up, no water, no sewers, no street lights, no mail delivery and no fire and police protection in the win- ter as the roads aren't plowed. Coun. Bob Kenny said the road in question is a private road and would have to be assumed by the township before any work could be done on it. But Clerk Neil Brodie ex- plained that the road would first have to be brought up to Ministry of Transportation and Communication stand- ards by the residents before it could be assumed. The residents would have to pay for the work required to bring it up to standard. This could be done under the Local Act, but this would require Ontario Municipal Board approval, courts of revis- ions hearings and other com- plicated procedures, Mr. Brodie said. Coun. Don Frew said that Improvements although the Highland Beach Road had received summer service in the past, this couldn't be done now. Mr. Frew said there were other similar roads in the township and if council star- ted with one, it would have to maintain them all. Mr. Brodie was instruc- ted to send the Highland Beach Property owners Association a letter outlining the steps they would have to take and to point out that they would have to pay for improvements themselves. Council did approve a Mc- Laren's Beach Property Owner's Association request to start proceedings so the township could reconstruct Mary Street to township specifications. Mr. Brodie explained that these ratepayers have al- ready acquired an estimate of the cost of bringing the road up to standard and would now proceed under the Local Improvements Act.
