Mayor Taylor said the Township is prepared to discuss construction of a new race track, and Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm said the cost of this construction must ~ be justified, and it must get more use than just three hours of rgting , on Fair weekend Monday night's meeting came about as a result of a request three weeks ago by the Durham Board of Eduction that council and the Fair Board re-open negotiations on re- locating the Fair so that seven acres of the present Fairgrounds could be used as the site for a new elementary school in the com- munity. If the Township (which owns the present grounds) and the Fair Board can reach agreement on re- location, the Board of Education Scugog Township's new minimum standards property by-law has been on the books for a couple of months now. Although the Township has not yet used the by-law to prosecute, it is a tool at the municipality's disposal which covers a wide range of issues relating to the visual and structural appearance of buildings and vacant land in the Township. The by-law essentially gives the municipality the authority to order a property owner to clean up a yard, make repairs to buildings, remove junked machinery or old cars, trim the grass or other vegetation, and even keep fences in good repair in- cluding paint. The by-law covers the condition of buildings, inside and out, roofs, stairs, porches, loading docks, win- dows and doors, heating, plumbing and electrical systems, and can go so far to force an owner to remove vermin or termites.

The school would be ready for students in the fall of 1968. However, in making the request for reopening these delicate negotiations, the Board of Education stated that it must have an answer one way or another on the Fairgounds site for a school by the end of October. Several times during Monday's meeting, Mayor Taylor and coun- cillors stressed that the Township is going ahead with the plans to develop the 60 acres of land north of the arena as a multi-purpose community recreation facility which ultimately may include a second pad of ice for the arena, a banquest hall on the arena and sports fields for soccer and baseball. If the Fair Board agrees to one that covers draining, cleaning and clearing of vacant lots and land, gives the municipality wide powers over landowners, Township ad- ministrator Earl Cuddie said last week it is not the intention to "go out on any witch-hunts" and force pro- perty owners to paint over every patch of wood on the porch or the backyard fence. But it (the by-law) can and will be used in the case of obvious and flagrant eye-sores that are a cons- tant source of complaints by neighbours or other residents in the Township. One of the provisions of the by-law calls for the appointment of a '"'Pro- perty Standards Committee" to be made up of three ratepayers. The . Township has yet to advertise for committee members, but this will be done in the near future. This committee is to act as an ap- peal board when a property owner is not satisfied with request made by the by-law officer to comply with the terms of the by-law. The committee can hear the ap- peal, quash the by-law officers wove, the new site for the Fairgrounds would be part of this community recreation facility and leased to the Fair Board for the period of the annual three-day Fiar each labour Day Weekend. Mr. Jameson said he hopes the Fair Board members and directors will react positively to the offers put forward by the council, but he acknowledged that some members have doubts about making a move to the proposed new location. This issue has been bubbling in the Township since last January when the Board of Education and the Township began negotiations to turn over seven acres of the present Fairgrounds for a school site. That deal fell through in May when the Fair Board members voted not to give up the lease it has with the Township for the present Fairgrounds. Minimum standard bylaw will upgrade Township order, uphold it, or grant the proper- ty owner further time to comply. If the property owner is unhappy with the decision of the committee, it may be further appealed to the County Court level. Once the appeal period is over or the appeals have been rejected, the Township has the authority to force the property owner to comply with the order. The Township has further authority to do any necessary work and tack the cost onto the property tax bill. If a property owner fails to com- ply with an order and is found guil- ty in court, the fine could be $500 for each day in contravention. The minimum fine is $5 per day. The need for a property standards by-law in Scugog has been kicked around by members of council for several years. Scugog's by-law con- tains portions of similar laws from several other municipalities. Like most by-laws, it will be used with discretion, but it gives the municipality the legal punch, if necessary, to clean up eye-sores in the Township. {9 Pid ww dade JEWELLERY & TANNING INC.
