Mr. Jackson has been to Council several times regarding his parking problem. Recently, the land in front of his home has been turned back to him and the telephone pole that existed in the centre of the proposed driveway has been moved. Some time ago the intention was to expropriate his house and two others for road widening. At that time, the road was raised 3 to 4 feet higher than his laneway, making it impossible to establish a driveway. Over the years, his family has received many parking tickets. The cost of installing the driveway will be $1,080.00. He asks that the Town assume one -half of the driveway costs. Mr. Joe Mark, R.R. 1, Newtonville, LOA 1JO, was present to ask the Council to have the Public Works Department install a used or new culvert in a section of the unopened road allowance in the 3rd Concession of Clarke, abutting his property; then dump 1 or 2 loads of gravel fill onto the road in this area and level it off. He also requests that the Town make a used culvert available to him and a supply of gravel fill. He has the equipment to install the culvert to truck the gravel and level off the road. Mr. Mark is making this request because this unopened road allowance is the only access he has to approximately 45 acres of woodland at the back of his 200 acre farm. This land is separated from his main farm by Foster Creek. The lumber, firewood and fence posts derived from this land is vital to the maintenance and building plans of his farm. Approximately 100 feet of the road allowance extends through a low swampy area created by water run�.off from the hills. Improvement of the unopened road would make the right -of -way more passable for his farm equipment and any fire equipment if the need arises. Mr. Ron Armstrong, Jones & Jones, Solicitors, 130 King St. E., Oshawa, was present on behalf of Ray Abbott & Murray Marchant, Tyrone. Mr. Jones referred to item #11 of the General Purpose and Administration Committee Report. Presently, his clients have 5 different applications submitted to establish their proposal. An application is before the Land Division Committee which has been tabled. Applications have been submitted to Amend the Hamlet Plan; to amend the__Offici.a1- fiPlan to extend the Hamlet of Tyrone; to Rezone the lands to conform with the Official Plan, and to create the proposed subdivision.
