In light of the current problems problems with dried up or contaminated contaminated wells in the Courtice Urban area, councillors councillors voted against the staff recommendation in order to safeguard the property property owners surrounding the already approved subdivision. subdivision. Kingsbcrry Properties' recent request to remove the holding symbol, which would allow registration of the lots and construction of 34 homes to begin, comes at a time when Newcastle council has called a halt to further development in the Courtice area until the water situation is solved. The decision to halt development development was made at a council meeting on July 27, and the Kingsberry Property Property subdivision had already already been approved. Presently, there arc already already approximately 100 homes built on the parcel of land between Darlington Boulevard and Townline Road, in Courtice. Of the 34 additional planned planned homes, 23 already have the required water and sewage sewage installations, with the remaining 11 lots slated for the same work. The removal of the holding symbol means that construction work could begin. Kingsberry Properties manager, Mark Foley, says that the company must now decide if it is economically , sound to put in sewer and water pipes for the 11 lots when they can't go ahead and build. Mr. Foley, in his presentation presentation to council, assured members that the developer developer was watching all area wells for potential dewatering dewatering problems. In the immediate area of the sub- divsion,' there are four homes under observation. Two of the residences are connected to the municipal water system and two more homes on Townline Road are being watched. The Orono Fish and Hunt Club held at turkey shoot on Sunday, September 12.
