the township by laws for Rockwood One of the by laws say that you must have two full lots with a total of ft and a 100 foot frontage to build a house in The lots are supposed to be side by aide know because we went to permit last year and again this spring We wanted to build on the side that we had foot frontage and thty told us no wc build there It was facing the wrong way was wrong so went alone with and built our house with 1J2 frontage and used two complete lots to build the house and put In a septic system which the health department t let us put In front of our house We t have enough room the front so the health department said We had to use property which we wanted to use for a garden but now can t rhe health department is screaming to heavens about pollution control In and then the next person comes alone and they let him put a three bedroom on a of a lot 49 x It Is all squeezed in on BOO feet This Is not even half of the required sq ft and the frontage on this property is only 494 ft not 100 as It Is supposed to be by the by law I have to town council Era mesa Council Board of Adjustment had the health department out and still they permit it 1 he Inspector doesn t even bike the advice of the lawyer I have been talking to him too and il was advised not to build there Another by law Is A house must have sq ft of Floor space on main floor The house that he built is only 8 with a six foot open porch This leaves only which is only ft of floor space not ft Now do you think of our by laws Our building inspector Worst of all tills is a twostorey one Stop decimation perhaps improve local here Councillors too It had been at the inn committee level Unit two councillors mijht attend as well Deputy Reive David Coons is the only councillor who did not support amendment tilt trip to stuff members Georgetown Deputy Reeve Art Speight s ml the trip would be of littli benefit to the bet lust the elected officials not be on county council a from He agreed a staff member could 26 leld Hull Dec 15 I have just received via Air Mail the notice circulated throuJiout in protest of the proposed Hydro Transit line and I wish thost people organizing the protest every success My only immediate re is why object just to stop the Hydro line is being decimated by quarries Hydro and even the Conbervatlon people Our Council seems powerless even the lowly warden can circumvent those elected to represent as I would like to sic on organization formed to stop this slow decimation For on a one storey strut All the houses are onestony type and it out like a Bore thumb house is also built two feel down In a hole compared to tin othir houses and yet sticks out above too He only feet of drain pipe around It and for lo drain The building Inspector said he was going to sump pump tin water out to the ditch It so happens there no sump pump outlet put In when the floor was put in So where Is the water to go That hoase is going to have wet basement inspector says he has 18 months tot lose In six foot porch ho it will have enough floor spate Within If months that will be sold to someone else and again our by laws will be broken Myself and two neighbours on this street 1 been vcrythine to make town council I ramosa council and the department something about tills just tela if car from then all 1 tuisH its not what you know but who you km and your way through all I say by lawh are for everyone to follow and abide by Another point I like to at this time is there Is no well on this property piped from another properly I can understand why the heilth department wc water In Just drill well and run three houses from the one I would like to know what other people In think of our by laws our building inspector and our town and I count
