DEPUTATIONS
Moved by Councillor Waller, seconded by Councillor Chat ten,
that Mr. Delaney be heard.
Mr. Delaney appeared before Council at Council's request
on the matter of a fence erected on Municipal property.
Mr. Delaney, responsible for this fence being built,
appeared with the hope that Council might permit him to
leave the fence at its present location, indicating that
he would be willing to enter into an agreement with the
Corporation.
Mr. Delaney submitted to Council a petition signed by seven
(7) property owners whose properties abut the watercourse
affected, indicating their desire to use the adjacent
property to the rear of their homes, guaranteeing that
the land would be kept clean.
Mr. Delaney advised Council that he had arranged for con-
siderable fill to be dumped on Township property on which
he has located his fence and has landscaped the area. To
remove the fence would mean eventual erosion and possible
damage to his swimming pool.
The Council had occasion to view the situation during a
road tour of the Township and as a result became familiar
with the problem.
See Resolution #235/67
2. Moved by Deputy Reeve Mrs. J. L. McPherson, seconded by
Councillor Waller, that Mr. S. R~, representing

Council made reference to some problems that exist, namely

(3)
The swail at the rear of lots abutting Hill Crescent.
Drainage problem on Douglas & Haller Avenue
(Mr. Greenoway).
Sidewalks do not conform to agreement in front of
three homes - Lots 141 - 143, Hillcrest.
Mr. Rumm explained that the property owners affected by
the swail have signed a petition indicating they are
satisfied with the job it is doing, and with its
construction.
The drainage problem on Douglas and Haller Avenues was
corrected by providing a storm outlet into Frenchman's Bay.
The sidewalk problem was not a problem with C.B.C. but
rather with the building contractor. Refer to Resolution
#233/67.
Mr. Rumm made reference to Plan of Subdivision, Block HZ,
Plan M-13 and Block P, Plan M-12, and tendered the actual
documents in reference to these plans, requesting that
Council instruct the Clerk to write a letter to the
Minister of the Department of Municipal Affairs advising
that all conditions as laid down by the Minister have
been met by the subdivider.
The Clerk advised Council that he, along with the Township
Engineer, and Planning Director, are reviewing the conditions
as set out and will report to Council when this has been
completed.

more in line with the residential assessment; and whether
or not the Council is going to allow further residential
development, and if so, that he be put on record as
opposing it untrl tbe ratio of industrial and residential
assessment is more in balance.
