2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 5, 1988 Predicting a banner (From page 1) concerning traffic flows, parking re- quirements, and construction of water and sewer services. He said it may be possible for the development to start late in the vagr } Mayor Jerry f(aylor Another area of the Township that may experience some growth in 1988 is Prince Albert as Durham Region is committed to up-grading the water system there. Once that work is done it will allow for construction of new homes in subdivisions, something that has been held back because tie water system was not adequate. Some of the other issues that will face the council in the coming year include the problem of traffic lights at the entrance to the Highway 7A plaza. The Mayor and a delegation from Scugog will be meeting this month with the provincial transpor- tation minister Ed Fulton to try to get approval for those traffic lights there. And the contentious issue of a seniors citizens apartment building on land owned by the Catholic Church in Port Perry will come up again. The council turned down a proposal in 1987 for a 42 unit building. The Mayor said by-law enforce- ment will continue to be a priority for the municipality. The Township currently is involved in several cases of alleged infractions of local by-laws. "People expect this from the Township. They want the rules and regulations enforced," he stated He said the municipality won't be going on any "witch hunts" when it comes to by-law enforcing, but "I "can predict that we will be acting on enforcement and not just reacting to complaints from the public."

But Mayor Taylor said it was a year in which there were a lot of smaller issues that divided the coun- cil. On several occasions, he was forced to break 3-3 tie votes. And with a municipal election up-coming in November, he expects the coun- cil will continue to have its share of "split decisions." Jerry Taylor is now entering his 10th year as Mayor of Scugog Township, gnd his 16th year as a member of a local council. He ad- mits that the pace and the respon- sibilities over those 16 years have been gruelling at times and hinted strongly that he's probably ready to retire from public office at the con- clusion of this term. Boaters may benefit from removal of four stone cribs In a move to further enhance the Port Perry lakefront as a haven for boaters during the summer menths, Township council is askinggfor estimates on removing four 1 stone cribs from the lake this winter. The stone cribs, which at one time were the foundation for the old railway line many years ago, now sit at the bottom of the lake roughly off from Palmer Park. Boats and motors have been damaged when they strike the cribs, including one of the demonstration war canoes last fall, and the Township council has agreed with a proposal from the local Chamber of Commerce to remove them. At the first meeting of the New Year on Monday afternoon, council agreed to ask local contractors to bid onthe job. But since the sugges- tion for removing the cribs came from the Scugog Chamber of Com- merce just before Christmas, coun- cil wants the Chamber to contribute half the cost. If the project to remove them goes ahead, the work will be done this winter. Holes around the cribs will be cut in the ice and heavy equip- ment used to pile the stones on the ice where they will be removed by truck. At the suggestion of Roads superintendent Ronn MacDonald, council also agreed that if this pro- ject goes ahead in February, the heavy equipment will also be used to break away damaged portions of the concrete sea-wall at Palmer Park so it can be replaced. The four stone cribs, which are in excess of 50 feet in length sit in an area between the government dock and the beach just south of Palmer Park. Last summer, divers were able to clearly locate the cribs, which are only about two feet below the surface of the lake. Council doesn't want road change Scugog Township council will not support any move on the part of the provincial government to redesignate Durham Road 21 as a provincial highway. A committee of Uxbridge Township council wants to look in- to the possibilitfls of redesignating Durham Road 21 as a provincial highway to help stop the flow of gravel trucks through Uxbridge. But Scugog councillors Monday afternoon said they are not in favour of this because it would mean more heavy truck travel on Durham Road 21 through Utica, especially during the spring half-load restriction period each year. Scugog council said that instead, heavy trucks should by-pass the downtown of Uxbridge by travelling south of Durham Road 23 and then west on 21. Scugog council fears that if Durham Road 21 from Highway 12 to Goodwood is redesignated a pro- vincial highway, heavy trucks will use this route year-round. Present- ly, during the half-load restrictions, trucks using 7A from the east must travel north on Highway 12, then south through Uxbridge via Highway 47.

Scugog council felt it should not be encouraging any more gravel truck travel through Scugog since virtual- ly none of the gravel is found here and the Township derives no benefits from the trucks hauling gravel. , "PORT PERRY PLAZA 985-8054
