) v © ¢ 3 ' - Legal Action Threatened Trailers Moved Almost -a week after Scugog Township. Council issued a 48-hour ultimatum, two tailers parked illegally at Goreski's marina were moved June 19 to another location. : But the confusing issue of the parked trailers on the Scugog Island campsite owned by Mr. Phil Goreski will ;amost certainly be raised again at the council meeting June 27, as the Property Committee has been asked to come up with a report on the 'trailer locations. As of June 20, two issues involving the trailors had still not, been completely resglved. The first is whether the lots onto which the trailers were moved June 19 actually. still exist as designated trailer lots as some of the land has been allegedly excavated away to provide for more boat slips. And the second is whether there are 25 tailers now parked in an area where the site © plan between Mr. 'Goreski and the Township allows only 24 trailers. The controversy over the two illegally parked trailers has been simmering for more than a month, and heated up at the council meeting June 13 when the councillors gave unanimous support to a resolution threatening legal action if the trailers were not moved by 9:00 a.m. June 16. On the evening of June 15 Wednesday, June 22, 1977 To New Sites | four members of Scugog Council, Richard Drew, Jerry Taylor, Vern Assel- stine and Don Crosier, - made a personal inspection of the site and found the two trailers in violation of the Township's site plan agree- ment. They agreed then that if the trailers were not moved by 9:00 a.m, the next morning the Township would press charges against Mr. Goreski.

More photos and ing without the trailers being moved, it was agreed that no "fegal action would be taken unless the trailers still remained in the same location by Monday, June 20. Mr. Goreski asked the Township for this extension beyond the June 16 dead- line, claiming that to move the trailers without their owners being present could cause damage to dishes and other items inside the trailers. But Councillor Vern Asselstine was not happy with this extension. "As far as I'm concerned," he said in a telephone interview last Thursday, "he should have been charged after the (original) 48 hours. If he (Goreski) had lived by the site plan agreement, there would have been no prob- lem. But he hasn't. MORE MODERATE Councillor Richard. Drew, on the other hand, took a more moderate stand say- ing "I can go along with giving Goreski until Monday (June 20) to move the trailers. He does have a point concerning the people who own the trailers and the possibility of damage." But Councillor Drew was adamant that if the trailers were not moved by Monday 'he (Goreski) would not be able to use the same ex- cuse". (possible breakage during moving.). The trailer sites in ques- tion are located on the west side of a water channel which runs through the marina property. Accord- ing to the site plan agree- ment, 24 trailers can be located along a fence separating the marina property from the proper- ties of Platten Island resi- dents, and two trailers can be located on lots beside the boat house on the west side of the channel. The two trailers have now been moved to these lots beside the boat house. But some of the land of these two lots has allegedly been dredged to allow for boat slips and it is not known at this time whether each of the lots contains the necessary 1600 square feet required by Ministry of Tourism regulations for a parked trailer. The site plan agreement with the Township has no dimensions for lot sizes marked on it. MINISTRY The Ministry of Tourism has been involved in the controversy since the middle of May when an inspection of the trailer park was carried out. The department officials found that the location of the two (continued on page 15) Grant for Borelians ape Borelians Society has awarded a $700 grant for the purpose of hiring resource persons to conduct a series of workshops dur- ing the 1977-78 season.
