2-Qrono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 13th, 1979 Orono Weekly Times WILL IT BECOME A DUMP SITE The west entrance into the Orono Estates at the north of the Village could ; soon become a dump site if council doesn't take some action within the next few months. It is most unfortunate to see the area at this entrance deteriate week by week with the dumping of dirt and even now some debris. If the Town allows this to continue it can only get worse and the area will, end up nothing more than a garbage dump. It is time to take some action. Those residing within Orono Estates do take a pride in their property and the sub-division always presents a neat and tidy appearance. It would be unfortunate that this will be offset with a possible no-man's land at the west entrance The Town council last year and prior to that did make some commitments to make some improvements to this entrance and to the walkway at the south. No action from council has resulted in any improvements being made. Surely they should not have to wait until the next election before some action is taken, In the original plans for the sub-division the entrance wps to have been one hundred feet wide but this has grown to many hundreds of feet in depth due to the area being üsëd for a dumping site. A simple ditch or berm along the roadway would stop trucks entering the property and even a planting of a row of trees along the roadway would be an improvement and in the future would present an avenue entrance to the Orono Estates. The solution is simple and inexpensive. Perhaps that is the problem, its too simple. It does not require the services of a consultant nor does it require great sums of money.

COUNCILLOR HOLLIDAY FIRED UP On Monday at the Planning and Development committee meeting Counc. Holliday came in with a full head of steam when the committee had before it a proposal for a Maintenance and Occupancy by-law. He was strongly opposed to the terms of the by-law and said it would affect everyone property owner-in the Town and it would take at least five officers to enforce the 'rediculous' conditions of the by-law. The Maintenance and Ocqupancy by-law is to give the Town some teeth in the use of property as well as the condition of property and buildings,at the present time they find their hands tied to take any action of any kind when they receive even valid complaints as to the use of property or the safety factor of the property. The Finance Committee has reçommended to couribil that such a by-law be prepared and the recommendation came to the planning committee as information. GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE FINANCE DEPT.

' (Continued from page 1) Controversy » over 2-4-1) the chemical was a cancer- causing agent. Two parents in the Hasting area said their children had suffered symptons characteristic characteristic of herbicide poisoning. They said their children suffered from nausea, headaches headaches and sore eyes after contact with a school yard. In speaking with W.H. Carman, trustee for this area, he said the Board had completed spraying school yards in this area. He said he had not received one phone call opposing the spraying program. ' Carman pointed out that the Board had received a direct ive from the Ministry of Environment to hold-off on spraying until -they again contacted the Board. This directive was adhered to'but the Ministry has since given clearance to 'undertake the spray program. Carman said he understood that the residue disappears /within one to two minutes after spraying. The matter is again to come before the Board of Education meeting this Friday. 1 Al 'q previous meeting Trustees George Cameron, Brian Gibbs and Russell Walker voted against the program of school yard spraying with 2-4-D. and the intrusion upon the rural character of the area. In his conclusions Don Smith, planning director, said he could not support the applicants request for the amendment of the official plan to allow the mobile home development. He said that if council saw merit in the proposal that he would recommend recommend that a public meeting meeting be held. In his recommendations he advised that the Town object , to the proposed amendment and that the Region of .Durham be so advised. Mr., .Gleiberman, speaking on behalf of the developer, said that people in the area of the development appeared to feel the proposal was a trailer park. He said it would be a proper mobile home park and the only mobility of the units wquld.be their transportation to the site. He suggested to the committee that the proposal', proposal', be sent back to the planning department in order that hé could have further input and discussion with the planner. He also suggested that perhaps it would be advisable to hold a public meeting so they could point out that it .was a mobile home park ■ not a trailer' park proposal. A motion was made to refer the matter back to staff in light of the possible confusion .between a mobile park and a trailer park. This motion passed. Counc. Barr prior to voting on the motion said he was against the motion. "If you would read the report and the result of the circulation there is enough information to turn this proposal down", he said. "I would suggest we should accept, the recommendation of the director of planning," he said. He said the site should remain as it is and there are too many things against the development of the site. He spoke of the headwaters of the Wilmot Creek and the .existance .existance of the woodlot. His attempt to approve the recommendation recommendation failed and the matter has been turned back to staff. In the background information information provided for the committee it was pointed out that in September, 1975 an application was placed before the Regional council seeking an amendment to the official plan which would have designated designated the lands from Rural to Mobile Home Park, Regional council at that time deemed the application unnecessary and refunded the application fee. ' The issue is now expected to come before the next meeting of the planning committee. gg&dft " ~ ^ ^Balmoral Çàüer^% Kirby, Ontario Hwy. 115 and 35: Bus. 983-5476 (Kirby Store) ARTISTS ; Maiireen Remington Jessie Slemon Eileen Van Nest Shirley Wilcken Peggy McKenzie - Pottery Doris Roberts Open Daily 10-5 Box 220, Orono * Closed Tuesdays LOB 1M0 -- 983-5948 > and Sundays.
