Counicil tentatively approved a plan for a topsoil blending operation on Sixth Line, south of Lower Base Line. The approval cornes with some conditions, includ- ing a requirement to post a bond in the event roads need repair due to heavy traflic, and a monitoring of the construction plans. Sixth Line resident Peter West said locals had neyer been properly notified of the application, likely bccause even the closest residents live outside the I 20-meter notification zone. Mr. West predicted the road would neyer stand up to the heavy truck trafftc required by the topsoil blend- ing operation. "I intend to hold the mayor and counicillors account- able for not following the notification procesa, and allowing extra tonnage on those roada," Mr. West told counicil. "If I have annoyed counicil you should look at what we in Homnby have had to put up with." He pointed to Eugene Cummins' farru, where dumping was allowed to occur, Scots Farm, where problema with a composting operation caused severe odours, and the Rhada Soami Society Beas so-called 'barn', a structure which opponients say is intended to be a large-scale meeting hall. According to a report by municipal staff the opera- tion will not include a retail segment, nor will there be any composting on the site. In addition, Mel Iovio, Milton's director of planning, said that in the rural "We have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money fightiag problemis with some degree of success."1 ares the notification zone is 300 meters, extended iroru 120 meters in the urban ares. Ares councillor Rick Day took somne umbrage ai suggestions that counicil has slipped on the Cummins dump, Scott's Composiing or the Rhada Soami Society Beas 'barn'. He said council reacted in each case and was able to secure modifications in plans to satisfy local concerrus. Mr. West was not mollified, warning Mr. Day, "We may lose this battie but we will win the war at the nexi election." Mr. Day said notification distances in the rural ares were extended at bis request. "We have spent countless hours and thousands of' dollars of taxpayers' money fighting problems with some degree of success," Mr. Day said. Councillor John Challinor agreed, saying counicil has a track record of fixing problems when they arise and following up with documentation to prevent them in the future. Councillor Colin Best suggested a site monitoring committee be appointed. Council agreed. ro Mitnht ro i* *,getwPht Acton * *t Milon a Gergeow Maket 35 QeenSre Plc Plz A:nO If you have flot requested a Patt-time Discover the cbv.r-tocused or personal Studios Calendar or registered in a interest opportunities awaiting you in part-time course in the past 18 months more than 800 evening and weekend and want toi get on aur priority mailing courses and workshops.
