COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 10TH , 2000


Council met in regular session Tuesday, October 10, 2000 at 7:30 p.m. at Mountain Grove with all members present except Doug Bearance.

Staff members in attendance were Judy Gray, Heather Fox and Bev Howes Irwin.

Rosemarie Bowick attended to provide an update on Villages Beautiful and to request permission to clear the brush at the site of the train station across from the municipal office in Sharbot Lake using the services of the Katimivick Group. The Committee will be conducting a "Festival of Trees" and a decorated tree was requested from the Township.

Bill Bowick attended to discuss the need for a non-vehicular trail for bicycling, running, etc. from Sharbot Lake to Harrowsmith. A resolution of Council was requested to agree in principle to a Trans Canada Trail and then Council is to form a committee to determine how the trail could be accomplished and alternate routes. It was agreed that the Township of Central Frontenac meet with the Township of South Frontenac after the election to determine if there is a will for a South Trail.

Logan Murray attended regarding the Elm Tree Hall and advised that Councillor Harwood would speak on his behalf. Mayor MacDonald stated that the recommendation could be ruled out of order, however he would not do so. Mr. MacDonald noted from the recommendation submitted that 5 members of Council, which constitutes a quorum, were in attendance while the other 4 members of Council were not advised of the meeting and felt this was in contravention of the Procedural By-law for a properly called meeting. The Clerk was instructed to forward a copy of the resolution to Bill Ireland, Director of Fire and Emergency Services and he in turn is to contact Derek Matson to carry forward with Phase I. It was decided that Phase II would be left until budget deliberations.

Paul Clark and Rick Beasley addressed Council regarding the proposed zone change submitted by Jackie Jarvis. Mr. Beasley advised that Mr. Jarvis had agreed to have all of the vehicles crushed on site, withdraw his re-zoning application and no longer conduct the type of business subject to the re-zoning from these premises. Paul Clark was opposed to this solution and wanted the cars removed from the premises prior to crushing to ensure no fluids were released on site. Council agreed to the crushing solution and authorized the Clerk to prepare a Letter of Agreement for Jack Jarvis to sign stating he will cease and desist operation after crushing and accept liability for any environmental contamination. There is also no refund of the application fee due to the expense already incurred on this property.

Lawrence and Muriel Villalta and Linda Hendrickson attended to listen to discussion regarding clarification of the minutes of June 27, 2000 whereby Council suggested to Mr. Villalta that the private road right-of-way be 20 feet. Council suggested the 20 feet would be adequate provided it did not contravene the Official Plan or Zoning By-law for Hinchinbrooke District.

Gerald Wilkes' request to have the fire department pump out his well was denied due to liability and prescient setting conditions.
