Mr. Hodgson spoke briefly on conservation and its affects on
the many areas in the municipality. He also objected to the
wholesale take over of much of the water shed areas and water

reasons the township did not submit a brief to the Select
Committee on conservation.

Select Committee were aware of this municipality's position on
these matters and that already through his efforts steps are
being taken to sell certain table lands back to the public
for building purposes.

that Mr. A. Wattman be heard.
Mr. A. Wattman appeared to report to COuncil his objections to
any issuance of a building permit for the building of a home
on Lot 41, Plan 284t due to the insufficient lot area. He
was assured by Council that this application would have to go
before the Committee of Adjustment and that the possibility
of the issuance of a Building Permit was remote.

that Mr. G. Devonshire be heard.
4.
r~. Devonshire appeared before Council more for the purpose of
information with respect to the township requirements re
services and payments in connection to subdivision developmeqt.

standard form of subdivision agreement which could quite
possibly be available within a month or two. He also reques~ed
the right to re-submit his application on certain development
of single family and semi-detached dwellings in various areaj.
5. MOVED by Councillor Chat ten, seconded by Councillor Spang, tbat
Mr. C. McTaggert be heard.
Mr. McTaggert appeared before Council to discuss and to advise
Council of his intentions to proceed with building a home on
part of Lot 18, Concession 9, Claremont Village, since he had
received all the necessary Planning Board approvals and a
Building Permit prior to the township realizing that the roaµ
abutting his property is not the 66 foot standard width. .
Consequently the township (Police Village of Claremont) would
only realize a 25% subsidy from Department of Highways.
-2-
The Council's decision will hinge on the Solicitor's opinion
on this matter as to whether or not they will permit Mr.
McTaggart to commence building.
