REPORT:
uI- GCS)
About the time Council was considering the initial approach
from Mr. Walter Hengstberger for use of a road allowance in
Concession 9 of the former Township of Darlington, the Works
Department was approached by Mr. Peter Caspari for similar
considerations pertaining to the road allowance between Lots
18 & 19, in Concession 5, of the former Township of Clarke.
Mr. Caspari was advised to await the outcome pertaining to
Mr. Hengstberger since his was a similar situation.
Council ' s decision was conveyed to him, however, he wished
to proceed with a formal request. Accordingly, this report
is being presented.
Although Mr. Caspari ' s letter suggests minor clearing, he
has verbally indicated a desire to take actions to allow
vehicular access to the lands owned by Becas Developments.
The history of problems associated with such an approach is
well known, therefore, no actions should be taken to allow
it to proceed.
In this specific case, discussions which lead to Council
action took place in 1977 and a copy of the decision is
attached for information.

REPORT NO. WD-48-85
We have no reservation about clearing of brush to facilitate
access on foot to the subject lands, therefore, issuance of
a road occupancy permit for this purpose would be
appropriate. However, concurring with major alterations to
accommodate access by cars, trucks, etc. , should be avoided
especially in view of Council 's previous direction.

I refer to our various discussions when I requested on behalf
of my clients, Becas Developments Limited, permission to
clear a path 20ft wide in the centre of the road allowance
lying to the West of the captioned Lot.
Without such path the Parcel is landlocked and can not be
approached. A caveat on the title assures that the road
allowance would be opened when required. At present there
is no intention to develop the Parcel nor to construct a
road to approved specifications .
My clients did construct a pond on the property at the time
they were owners of all 5 parcels of the captioned Part Lot
and its personnel would like to enjoy such pond during
the summer months and have the benefit of the beautiful
hardwood forest located on it.
It would therefore be much appreciated if you would issue
the requisite occupancy permit to allow the path to be
cleared of growth.
Youk very truly
