Among other things, it reviews complaints from citizens. I am happy to review your pres- entation and advise on it if so desired. From a Planning perspective, current severances are granted where all requirements are met, including ade- quate frontage on a year round serviced road. You can potentially be granted a building permit for anywhere on your severed parcel of land, but it will be your job to figure out how you are going to get to the year round road. If you drive around the County, you may notice gateways that seem to lead to somewhere, but you cannot see the home. This is very common in North Marysburgh . There are beautiful home sites sitting on the water with private or shared driveways of up to a kilometre in length. They climb down the sides of steep cliffs making travel by an ambu- lance or fire truck potentially very difficult. These are magnificent places to live but those citizens must accept the risk that goes with their choice of location. Seasonal roads are not intended to be personal driveways. I have been challenged regarding what one's tax dollar delivers to a citizen. I invite anyone interested to call me and I will be pleased to go over the most recent budget with you. To re-build a one (1) kilometre section of gravel road to year round standard costs approximately $75,000, Hicks' General Store Milford 476-5258 Groceries Gasoline - Ice ATM Video Rentals etc., etc., etc. WINTER HOURS MON. - SAT - 7:30 am to 7:00 pm SUNDAY - 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Interac, Visa, MasterCard accepted or a.5 % tax increase for all taxpayers in the county. Per- haps South Marysburgh should have less seasonal roads. It would generally happen at the expense of losing work on some other road in our township and taxes would go up be- cause additional year round maintenance is now required. So what do you think? I'd appreciate your input. Monica Monica Alyea, Councillor South Marysburgh 476-8045 malvea@pecounty.on.ca p.s. sorry, there was an error in my e-mail address last time.
