er LR ALE . Township to get tough with owners of park Scugog Township council is going to get tough with the owners of Cedar Stone Park on Highway 12, north of Greenbank, if the operation of the park contravenes Township zoning by-laws. Council Monday afternoon heard a long list of com- plaints about the park from a resident who lives near the 50 acre property. Lillian Truax told council- lors that last weekend there were overnight campers in the park, and sparks from camp-fires created a fire hazard. She charged that last year, there were 400 vans camped at the park for three nights, there was loud music going until late into the night, and some of the language was, in her words, 'very excess- ive." Ms. Truax told council she has learned that a similar affair is planned for this weekend, and she demanded that some kind of action be taken. Council agrees to 4 day beer garden The Port Perry Canadian Tire Mens Softball team has been granted permission to operate a beer garden on Township property for four days during the annual soft- ball tournament held over the August 1 holiday week- end. While granting permission council has asked that a refundable $100 deposit be put up by the team to cover any damage to Township property or clean-up. Gravel complaints Acting on complaints from several residents of Ward 1, Scugog council will ask Durham Region Police to watch for speeders on Con- cession Two, west of High- way 12. A delegation of residents from the area led by Robert Camazzola told council that gravel trucks on their road appear to be exceeding the legal speed limit, and the trucks are creating a serious dust problem. In addition to asking the police to patrol the road for speeders, council (Turn to Rage 21) also The request for the deposit is a new policy by council and will apply in future to all groups or organizations seeking to operate a beer tent on municipal property. Team representative Doug Scott told council Monday night that the team has worked out an agreement with the local minor softball association to pay half the cost of up-grading the wash- room facilities at the Joe Fowler Memorial Ball Park, essentially putting in hot water services. This is demanded by the Health Board before approval is given for a beer garden. Councillor John Wolters voted against the motion, saying he is opposed to a beer garden on Towaship property on a Sunday. Mr. Scott said he still is not sure if the Liquor Licence Board will approve the application for a Sunday beer garden at Fowler Park. One requirement is that hot food must be served on that day. . Mr. Scott also told council that last year when the beer tent was closed on the tourn- ament Sunday, there was a problem with people drink- ing beer outside the baseball park. Councillor Wolters was the lone objector to the motion. This is not the first time there have been complaints to council about the opera- tion of the park. In fact, Ms. Truax said she has 'had problems" over the park going back as far as 1964. Council was told Monday that approximately ten acres of the park fronting on High- way 12 is zoned open space, which permits'use as a park, but not over-night camping. "The remainder of the land is zoned agricultural, in which any recreation use is not permitted. After listening to the complaints; council passed a resolution to have the by-law enforcement officer carry out an inspection on week- ends, if necessary, to deter-- mine if Township zoning laws are being broken. Council also agreed to send the owners of the park a registered letter informing them of the zoning restrict- ions. Council has asked, as well, that Durham Region police officers assist and accomp- any the Township by-law enforcement officer when he makes an inspection of the park. During discussion on the issue, Ms. Truax indicated to council 'that she might go along with a site plan agree- ment between the Township and park owners if it includ- ed such things as a proper --fence -along her property line. When similar complaints were registered last summer council asked the park owners to apply for a re- zoning on the property, which is the only way council at the same time could negotiate a site plan agree- ment. However, no application for re-zoning has been sub- mitted to the Township by the park owners. Ms. Truax told council she is getting tired of having to lodge complaints. "I just don't see why I should have to struggle against this all by myself," she said.

LO8 INO An Ontario court has ruled that chickens can be legally raised on the former Peels Poultry property on Simcoe Street in Prince Albert. The court May 22, ruled against Scugog Township, which had charged that chickens being raised on the property, contravened the Township zoning by-law. Earlier this year, council had received complaints from neighbours living near- by about the fact that chickens were being raised on the property, and council agreed on February 8 to proceed with charges and let I= PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 28, 1980 -- 3 Court rules chickens can be raised in Prince Albert the courts settle the matter. Court was told that although the property is now zoned residential (R1) it has never ceased to be used for agricultural purposes since the re-zoning. The Township's argue- ment was that the specific agricultural use of raising chickens had ceased for a period longer than 12 months and thus could not be now considered a legal non- conforming use. The court ruled however, that there was never an intention to stop raising chickens on the property. LT TE TE TEE TTT A.W. BROCK DEPARTMENT STORE QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY - 985-2521 This was brought about by outside factors, namely the fact that Peels Poultry went bankrupt and sold the prop- erty in 1975. The present owner, Hubert Schilling, has the right to continue the legal non- conforming use of the prop- erty for raising chickens, the court ruled. In presenting a report on the court case to members of council Monday afternoon, Township solicitor Michael Fowler recommended that the Township not lodge an appeal of the court decision, and councillors accepted this. = FLOOR COVERING 4 yds wide - 2 patterns SPECIAL $4.95 SQ.YD.
