Mr. Grant Brooks, 14 Walton Street, Port Perry, L1A lN5,
Solicitor for Gordon Barrie, addressed Committee regarding
problems associated with a parcel of land located on Providence
Road. He stated that Mr. Keith Barrie had purchased a building
lot from Sam Turner and, prior to completing the purchase,
inquired of the staff in Hampton whether a residential
dwelling could be constructed thereon. He was apparently
advised in the affirmative, completed the land purchase,
and subsequently was advised that a building permit could
not be issued. Mr. Brooks suggested that evidence could
be provided that would show the subject road had been
maintained for many years. It falls within the category
of maintained roads he claimed, and the record should be
corrected to reflect this, and Mr. Barrie permitted to
construct a new home on the lands purchased by him on
