MRI CR a Lo ASR TT IR EA I TI SN ai ie Coat tal 1 Hee | i rn att Recreation study okayed The Township council has approv- ed preparation of an extensive study into municipal recreation programs and facilities in Scugog Township. If the provincial government will come up with half the money for this study, it could get underway this summer for completion in the fall. Total cost of the study could be in the $25,000 range, with the picking up half the bill. The provin- cial government is expected to an- nounce soon if it will foot the bill for the other half of the total. Initially, the preparation of this study was to iocus on the Scugog Arena to determine if there is a need for a proposed banquet facility and second pad of ice and whether these things are financially viable for a community like Scugog.

If the study gets underway this year, the final document will be presented at two public meetings in the Township and be presented to the Township council by this September. Island opponents take fight all the way to the Supreme Court Opponents of a proposed develop- ment on Scugog Island have asked the Supreme Court of Ontario for a ruling on whether the subdivision re- zonings approved by Township con- form to the Durham Official Plan. The Supreme Court has set May 8 as the date for a hearing into the matter which was launched by Stephenson's Point resident Brad C. Heintzman and William L. (Bill) Williams, who have bitterly oppos- ed development of 22 residential lots along the east side of the Stephen- son's Point Road.

Lawyers for the Township and the sub-dividers will argue against any request to delay the OMB hearing until after the Supreme Court has ruled on the issue. Opposition to the proposed 22 lot development has been long and bit- ter and surfaced repeatedly during the municipal election campaign last November.

He disclosed his in- terest publicly when the proposal first came in front of local council, and declared interest each time the matter was discussed or voted on by the council.
