14<.TfleCanadl8si haion'Ffld89.Ndvembbr 5, «' 999 /Ninth Line man tells counci to stop sitting on fencej By IRENE GENTLE The Champion A burlap fence may shield a line of cedar trees on Bill Hill's Nintb Line property from winter sait spray. But it won'( protect Ninth Line residents from the encroachment of a booming city on onc aide' and a growing town on the other, warned Councillor Rick Day. Instead, Ninth Line, which straddles Mississauga and Milton, should he zoned as a development arca, he suggested. 'Mm'h solution is to get Mi. Hill and bis neigh- bours out of being the hamn in the sandwich," said Mr. Day. Concerns over the heallh of a line of cedar trees near bis property has made Mr. Hill a repeat visitor ta council chambhers over the last few years. The trees have been ailing due to winler sait kicked up by Nînth Line traffic, which has dia- matically increased due ta development on the Mississauga aide. To prevent further injury ta the cedars, the Town agreed to erect a protective burlap fence each fali, to be taken down once spring arrives.* But a series of severe snow falls.jast year fol- lowed by snow remnoval proceduoes demoliâhed the fence before wintcr wrapped up. With the cold season fast approaching, Mr. Hill made another trek ta council chambers ta ask the Town's community services commitcee for belp. 'II want to save these trees," he said. "I would appreciate a solution to this problem." A new burlap fence should be erected pronto, advised Councillor Bnian Petiman. "We have an obligation and it is not an expen- sive obligation, I don't thinkc," he said. "Mi. Hill should flot have to corne back every year for a few hundred dollars!" But Ninth Line's unique position between the two municipalities has caused delsys in the past as issues cati sometimes bounce from one court- cil to another hcfooe being resolved. And burlap is flot the answer if it can't survive the winter, Mr. Hill poinled out. "Burlap is flot going ta solve the problemn if we have a snowstormn like we did last year. Snow remnoval wiIl just tear if down," he sasd. "Cati you guarantee we won't have another snow storm?" Since Iast year's stontis were unusually heavy, burlap fencing could be given anotlser shot, said the Town's community services director Jennifer Reynolds. 'Il think we'd like to sec how it withstands this winter provided we don't get the amount of snow we dld last winter," she said. a se BURLAP page 15 Date/mne Dateline is a fiee listing of coming events only.
