village at tended Monday evening council meeting to discuss the possibility of him opening a new road and dividing his property into five separate lots With him were members of the village tecs who had okayed the plans and sent him to the township council for their approval Councillor David explained he wanted to see the road built to tions and there would have to be room for winter snow re moval equipment to turn around easily Mr Thatcher said there would be a foot turn around at the end of the rood When council discussed the matter later In evening road superintendent Bob Hamilton told the group that he had known the resident all his life and If Mr Thatcher it would be done with the highest of standards Trustee Audrey had pointed out earlier in the evening that the man cannot expand any more than the proposed five lots because he does not own the land Were the doors opening into development of the village Deputy Henry Jr wondered For years they have fought against developers coming in and now they were considering letting a local person build Clerk Lloyd pointed out it was a different situation letting a local person build five houses and letting out of town people come in and build on entire subdivision Councillor Allan Burnett agreed and said the choice was between five houses and a possible 200 houses Mr Holman Jr said he thought Mr Thatcher de served to have a development such as he has proposed but pointed out there ore people in the village who would like to do the same thing He also pointed out that the proposed lots were doubles and the people pur chasing the lots could come to council and ask for a severance of the other half of their property Mr wondered why the trustees were in favor of the proposal when they usually objected to proposed development Council voted motion by Mr Masson saying council agreed if Mr That only built one house a year for five years and com pleted the road before house construction commenced Mr Burnett said the man should be able to build two this year one for his son and one for his daughter After much discussion the munbers decided to ap proach the village trustees and the committee of adjust ment and find out why they are in favor of the plan when normally they would be against it Tho Acton Free Press Wednesday Sept 21 1977 B7 NEW OWNER Basil Miller and son in law Murray stand behind the counter
