McClelland * Port Perry Star Hockey legend Bob Baun made an appear- ance before Scugog Township council' last Monday afternoon. But the former Toronto Maple Leaf great was not there to discuss the thun- dering body checks he used to dish out, or the time he scored a winning playoff goal on a broken ankle. He was part of a dele- gation of Toronto busi- nessmen who bought recreation land in a remote area of Scugog Township's Ward 1, and became embroiled in a dis- pute with a neighbour upset that an old vehicle and two trailers have been parked on the land in view of his house. Scugog Township - became involved in the dispute when it was dis- covered last year that improvements in the form of gravel had been made to the wunopen road allowance that accesses the property, and some. trees on the road allowance had been cut down. Plan for used roof shingles draws fire Scugog council heard last Monday from a man who wants to grind up asphalt sin- gles to use as a base for a road and pathways on his rural property in the Blue Mountain area of Scugog, west of Hwy. 12. The property at one time was a gravel pit - - it remains zoned for gravel extraction -- and more recently was the proposed site for a training college for heavy equipment oper- ators. Residents in the area objected vehe- mently to the training college and the plans were dropped. Now, Bruce Foxton of Pickering owns the land and wants to return it to its agricul- ture zoning. Residents appeared with him at Monday' s council meet- ing to express concerns about the shingle grinding operations. His permit from MOE allows up to 100 tons of shingles each day to be trucked to the proper- ty. d He assured the meeting this will not become a commercial recycling business, or dumping ground. He agreed to set a time limit of June, 2000 to grind enough shingles for use on the property. He said there will be no wood brought to the property. Mr. Baun, along with C.B. Ross, Jim Shier and Roger Davidson, owner of a car dealership in Scarborough, agreed Monday to plant enough trees in front of the trailer to block the view nearby resident David Spiro has from his home. It is 537 yards away, according to Mr. Davidson, who said 25 trees were planted last fall. And they also agreed to move a large 40-foot trail- er so that it can't be seen from Mr. Spiro's property. Mr. Spiro told council that had he known the land beside his property would be bought by the Davidson group and the changes made, he would have looked elsewhere for a rural residence. He said an old vehicle was removed eight months after the initial request. "If I don't have to look at it, that solves 90 per cent of my problems," he told the council. He agreed to the tree planting program as a way of buffering his prop- erty so long as he's kept fully informed during this process. Mr. Baun warned that Mr. Spiro may never be satisfied, no matter how many trees are planted. He asked for a limit on the number of trees and that allowances be made for adverse growing condi- tions such as the dry weather.
