Ai) RRA 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Oct. 26, 1977 Must spend *24,000 fo A Scarborough couple who have purchased a parcel of land on an unimproved road in Scugog Township were told Monday night they can- not get a building permit. They were told, however, that one could be issued if the road was brought up to mini- mun township standards, which would cost them about $24,000. Agboatwala learned the grim news when they ap- peared before Scugog Town-' ship Council at the regular ing of October 24. Mr. Agboatwala told members of council that when he purchased the land he was not aware that a building permit can only be issued for a property on a road meeting minimum Mr. and Mrs. Edel Township standards.

Councillor Vern Asselstine told the couple there are many miles of unimproved. roads throughout the Town- ship and the Council cannot establish a precedent by issuing a permit in this case. Councillor Asselstine said it is up to the buyer to establish that a building permit can be issued before any land pur- chase is made.

This loss of control could lead to what Dr. Michael called "an eyesore'. Councillor Drew main- tained that the Township would keep control over the kind of industry through any individual site plan. agree- ment. And he added that the council has already given assurances to the owners of the land that a present appli- cation to change the zoning to industrial would be sup- ported by the council. Once the Durham Plan becomes official, getting the zoning change will require approval of an amendment, Dr. Michael suggested that in light of the fact that Carlan Industries has been granted several concessions on other parcels of industrial land, the area in question should be left as open space for the municipality. He also said that there is no need to zone the land industrial at this time as Carlan already has 11.2 acres of industrial land im- mediately to the south. Dr. Michael suggested that Car- lan should get on with the development of this indus- trial land first, and some time in the future the parcel to the north could be re-zoned, if the council feels more industrial land is needed. Change in bylaws for chip truck operators Several changes in the by-law governing the oper- ation of chip trucks in Scugog Township were made Monday afternoon at a special meeting of council. One truck will be allowed to operate in Palmer Park in Port Perry from May 1 until October 31 each year for a $10. health standards fee. And the Palmer Park chip truck concession will be put out to tender next year. In the past a flat licencing fee of $50 had been charged chip truck operators on municipal property such as Palmer Park. Several coun- cillors suggested that this amount is not high enough, especially with the trucks in direct competition with per- manent restaurants which pay a regular business tax. A second change in the "by-law deals with chip trucks that may be parked on priv- ate property. They will be required to pay a food licence of $10, and a further licence fee of $15 per month. They cannot operate on municipal roads or streets, and only on private property in non-residential zoning areas. It was agreed during dis- cussion on the matter that the Township has the power to control chip truck oper- ations on private property, but not the power to ban them completely. Cuncil Briefs TAXIS Taxi operators in Scugog Township will be required by law to carry at least $300,000 liability insurance on each car. The change was made during a review of the by-law governing taxis, Monday afternoon. The present regulation in the by-law permits taxis to carry a minimum of $50,000 liability on each car. NESTLETON SPEED LIMIT The speed limit on Highway 7A through Nestleton Station is to be lowered to 60 kmh. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications asked for and received a resolution from Scugog Township agreeing to the proposed change in the limit. Several weeks ago, residents of the area sent a petition demanding the change to the provincial government. The present limit through the community is 80 kmh. ' EPSOM STREET LIGHTS Following receipt of a petition with 13 names, council is looking into the cost of replacing the street lights in Epsom with the mercury vapour kind, There are presently eight street lights in the community, and Epsom is thé only area in the Township where the old-fashioned bulb lamps are still used. .
