MEMORANDUM A to
MR. B. TINK, CHAIRMAN OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
J..DUNHAM, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
LOT 21, PLAN 693 - ORONO, ESTATES
SEPTEMBER 29, 1976
The above subject was tabled at the September 9, 1976,
Public Works Committee Meeting until the next meeting.
Apparently this lot was witheld from being built on
by former Clarke Township, pending the possibilities
of vehicle access.
In 1974, the Ministry of Transportation and Commun-
ications would not approve of vehicle access, being,
it did not meet their criteria for set -back from
35 and 115 highway, without acquiring additional
land from the existing cemetery.
In 1975, Mr. Best and myself met with the Cemetery
Board on site, and did discuss this matter, at which
time the Board did oppose quite strongly conveying
of any land to the Town for road purposes, due to
their limited amount of land. Further to this, 'I
think such a proposal would not enhance the
appearance of the cemetery. I have discussed the
lot size with Mr. Wightanda copy of his report
is attached. It appears that if a 10 foot public
walk -way was retained, the balance of the lot
would not be sufficient in size to build on.
To conclude, I would recommend that the Town decide
what would be in the best interest to all concerned,
example - a public walk -way or vehicle access
remembering that, the latter would be sometime in
the future. If it is decided to do anything, it
would appear that the entire lot would have to be
acquired.
