NIeJewcastle to pay $1000.OO reward The Town is taking part in a Region-wide plan thiat $1000M0 reward will be paid to a person when information is provided that leads to a conviction of any party who hais dumped garbage along the roadside. The plan is to be advertisedI in the local press and as well Region- wide by thie Reg ion. An unanimous vote of council on Monday night turned aside a proposed 13 single homne condominium proposai by Bowling Green Developments in the Village of Newcastle. The proposed condominium was slatedi for a 2.29 acre parcel of land on the east side of Regional Road 17 and directly soutb of the CP rail line in the north of the Village. The proposai has been the subject of objection from neighibouring residents mainly on the density of the proposai which does mecet the requirements of the Town's Officiai plan. Further objection has been received from the CPR as being too close to their ight of way. Then proposai had been before councîl at a public meeting on January 6, 1992 when four area residents spoke in opposition to the proposai. IL was recommended at the time that the developer meet with neighbouring residents to iron-out objections. On Monday the developer stated that they had meet with residents and had answered their questions but did state that not al were satisfied with the proposai. On Monday Counc. Hooper ohjected to the drop in size of frontage and further stated that neighbouring residents were not satisfied with the development. Counc. Hannah said it was a poor location for such a proposal and feared for the safety of children that close to the rail line. Counc. Scott pointed to the objection from CPR and said counicil would be only asking for problem in approving the development. Counc. Dreslinski asked if at some time wouid the road become a town road to which the planning director said the road would not revert to the Town and that the maintenance and care of the road would be the responsibility of the condominium company (the thirteen owners of the homes).
