pr 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. October 30, 1984 Local council briefs BEI CM Lg HL Sr Et TOWEL at 1 IIe Se A ee sea HELP AT LAST A few weeks ago, Ward I councillor Neil Hunter told a council meeting that the worst stretch of road in Scu- gog Township is Region- al Road 6 which runs from Saintfield to Sea- grave. - At the meeting Mon- day, council was in- formed by letter that Durham Region has agreed to "up-grade this road in 1985"". AIR SUPPORT A request by Inter City Airways of Ottawa for support in a licence application for schedul- ed air passenger service between Oshawa and Ottawa, Montreal, Win- dsor and Buffalo was granted Monday after- noon by Township coun- cil. Inter City said in a letter it is applying now for a licence and would use the 39 passenger Dash-8 aircraft. In granting the re- quest for support, coun- cillors got a chuckle when Ward 1 rep Neil Hunter quipped that Greenbank Airport might be a good spot for a scheduled stop. GARBAGE A Saintfield resident has demanded that Township council take action to halt what he fears is the expansion of Timms Garage into a lot zoned residential. He told councillors that cars are already being parked in a fenced off area behind the garage which is a resid- ential lot. He said property val- ues of homes nearby could suffer. Council agreed to have the Roads committee talk with the garage owner to find out exactly what Country Oven Bread 'Beef Pies each 59 2 for $1.19 STOUFFVILLE BAKERY PORT PERRY PLAZA HWY. 7A - PORT PERRY - 985-2412 "Country Village Baking" CLOSED MONDAYS (until further notice.) is going on. The Township by-law officer will keep an eye on the situation and council said that if regulations are being broken, the Township would not hesitate to start legal action. GARAGE BID ACCEPTED The bid of Lake Scu- gog Lumber has been - accepted for construct- ion of a building at the Township Works depot on Regional Road 8. The bid, at $46,000 was the lowest of two received by the Township. The building will be used as a garage for Township snow plowing equip- ment. Work on the project is expected to get under- way in the near future and be completed in about four weeks. BOND ACCEPTED Township council has agreed to accept a performance bond rath- er than a letter for credit for the Borelia Co-operative Housing project, a 70 unit com- plex planned for the south side of Highway 7A, east of Carnegie Street. At the request of consultant Chris Smith, council agreed also to re-zone the property for the project, if the pres- ent owner agrees. But council wanted a one foot reserve placed around the frontage, just in case the co-op project falls through. Mr. Smith said munic- ipal approval is necess- ary for CMHC funding, and he said final app- roval is still several months away. Council has given app- roval in principle to the project. | Dump hours may have to be cut (From page 1) get rid of household garbage, but several councillors said Monday that non residents are using the site and there were suggestions that commercial garbage contractors were dump- ing there to avoid the tonnage fees at landfill sites. Information from the Township finance de- partment shows that up to the end of September of this year, Scugog paid $46,642 to dump the garbage from the sta- tion at landfill sites. While council wants the station closed at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, all day Sunday and at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, the final decision will rest with Durham Region. How- ever, it was the Region- al Works department that suggested to Scu- gog council that one way Bowling green is right on target (From page 1) between the Township and Carlan will actually change hands as council agreed to allow the development company to pay a similar amount towards up-grading streets in the residential subdivision. The Township council had been demanding that Carlan pay for a second lift of ashpalt on the subdivision streets before the streets are legally assumed by the Township. Negotiations between Carlan and the Town- ship for a site for a new lawn bowling green have been on-going for several months. Town- ship council has made a commitment to the Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club to pay up to $25,000 and joi --\ nthe funy ww «2 & (© *REFRESHMENTS - UXBRIDGE SMALL ENGINES LTD.

The successful deal for the new site comes not a minute too soon as far as the Lawn Bowling Club is concerned, as members of the Club's executive have express- ed fears that if a new site is not found soon, the Club could lose federal grants that will be used to off-set expen- ses for a new club-house and construction of the bowling greens. to better control the station would be a cut-back in the hours it is open. "The garbage is com- ing in to the station faster than it can be shipped out", stated councillor Lawrence Malcolm at the meeting Monday afternoon. In agreeing to ask for shorter hours of opera- tion at the transfer station, members of council acknowledged that a move of this sort may prove un-popular with residents of the Township, especially those in Ward 4 who do not have regular gar- bage pick-up at their residences. And councillors ag- reed that if people arrive at the dump and find the gates closed, some may just un-load their trash beside the road. That's a problem council is apparently willing to live with. At Scugog Island UCW Sales better than coupons The October meeting of Scugog Island W.I was held in Scugog Hall. This was "Resalu- tious" meeting conven- ed by Clara Dowson. President Barbara Ross opened the meet- ing with the Ode, and Institute creed. Roll Call -- Do you use store coupons? Fifteen members and two visitors answered this - admitting that most of us forget to take them to the store. The motto - Be it resolved, that consum- ers would benefit by lower prices rather than coupons on products they do not use.
