; (Cuncil Briefs NESTLETON PLAN lt 2 A section of the proposed district plan for Nestleton Station was amended Monday night to allow for lot develop- ment in residential areas not specified in the plan as development areas. .The problem came up on an application for a lot severance in Nestleton which probably would not have been « approved by the Land Division committee of Durham Region because the property is not in the three areas designated in the District Plan for future residential development in Nestleton, Council agreed that the intent of the Nestleton plan was not to exclude in-filling of lots outside the specified develop- Jment areas, and on this basis proceeded with the amend- ¢- ment. A second amendment made by council struck out the three-quarter acre minimum lot size requirement for lots outside the proposed development areas. MOBILE HOMES ! A tentative proposal for the development of 50 acres on 4 lot 18, concession 7 in Ward 4 as a mobile home park was made to council by Michael Brod of R.R.1, Nestleton. Mr. Brod told council he would like to provide lots for an initial ten mobile homes and then add more in the future. The lots would be services with water and sewage holding tanks, and leased to the owners of the mobile homes. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm told Mr. Brod that mobile home parks are presently not permitted in the Township, but o the region is now considering a proposal for a 700 lot development in the Newcastle area. Stating that he had no objection in principle to mobile homes in the Township, councillor Richard Drew suggested that Mr. Brod should first find out if his specific development proposal would meet Board of Health standards, and Mr. Brod said he would take steps to determine this. 1 4 FIRE HALL ROOF A bid of $125 for the repair of the fire hall roof in Port Perry was accepted by council. Building Inspector Bob Kenny presented several esti- mates ranging from repairs to the areas of the roof which are leaking, to a complete roof repair including new plaster on the ceiling inside, at a price of $1540. Council agreed to accept the low bid of $125 from Ron's Roofing and Sheet Metal of Whitby, despite an objection from councillor Neil McLaughlin who stated that the job should go to a local contractor. Ron's Roofing of Port Perry had submitted an estimate of $300 for repairs to the roof. (continued from page 1) that the Township has not collected the $1000 fee on similar severances in the past. Councillor Vern Assel- stine stated that the Town- ship is bound by provincial legislation which says that adjoining properties owned Legality questioned by one owner are considered to be one property. While agreeing to seek a legal opinion, Mayor 'Lawrence Malcolm caution- ed that this would not decide the legality of the lot levies. This, said the mayor, could only be decided in a court of law. Poor Growing Weather PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug, 24, 1977 -- 3 Difficult getting crops out of the fields "It's not a disaster by any means, but it is getting un- comfortable." That was how John Finlay of the Ministry of Agricul- ture office in Uxbridge described the affects of the abnormally cool and wet' August on farm crops in the area this year. Mr. Finlay said that the yield for grain crops such as barley and oats is ex- pected to average about 60 bushéls an acre. This yield would probably have been 10 to 15 bushels an acre higher if the weather so far in August had been hotter and drier. In cash terms this difference will amount to about $30 an acre for the growers. Even at an average of 60 bushels an acre, this year's grain crops will yield con- siderably higher than last year when the average was between 30 and 40 bushels. The corn crop looks good so far, according to Mr. Finlay, but will need some warm temperatures before the first frost, usually about the third week in Sep- tember to bring the corn to pedk maturity. Many farmers are having difficulty getting on their fields because of the muddy conditions. Usually, most farmers would have their grain crops taken off by now, but this has been the case this year, For vegetables, the quality appears to be good this year, but the poor weather - conditions will probably mean less than average yields in quantity. Kinsmen president (continued) he would encourage the ex- pansion of Kinsmen through- out Canada so that every 'community would be able to enjoy the benefits - not only in its service to the com- munities but also to its citizens who can become members. He further stated that the two major emphasis programs will be: (1) Build- ing over 200 Participarks across the country and, (2) raising over 100,000 units of blood from the many Kins- men sponsored blood donor clinics and called upon all Canadians to join Kinsmen Clubs in achieving these two very worthwhile and ambi- tious goals.
