Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 26, 1986, page 3 Schreiber Land Use Plan outlines townsite history This is another in an ongoing series of articles provided by Conlin Engineering and Planning Ltd. regarding the prepara- tion of an Official Plan for the Township of Schreiber and the existing land use as well as the extent and con- dition of municipal services.) Existing Land Use For planning purposes, the Township has been broken into two distinct areas: the rural area and the townsite. Within the rural area, the key aspect of the existing land use pattern is the development adjacent to Walker's Lake. General- ly, the rest of the rural area is in a natural state. The key aspects of the existing land use pattern within the townsite are as follows: The townsite is bisected by the TransCanada Highway and the CPR and, as such, is divided into three parts: (1) The southernmost part, south of the CPR line, contains a mix of older and newer residential develop- ment and two schools; (2) The middle segment of the townsite, between the Highway and the CPR line, is composed primari- ly of older residential development and the com- mercial core; (3) The northern seg- ment, north of the Highway, contains relatively recent developments and is presently being prepared for additional residential growth. Several Occurrences of theft were investigated by the Terrace Bay Police Force over the past two weeks, a news release from the police station noted. The occurrences includ- ed attempted theft from an automobile in the Terrace Bay area, theft under $1,0000 reported by the Kimberly-Clark mill, and theft of a snow machine from a local resident. The last two are still under in- vestigation, the release added. The attempted theft of a wallet by two young of- fenders was reported to police. The matter was settled between police and the parents of the suspects with no charges being laid. Over the past two weeks there were also two motor vehicle accidents reported, with damages over $700 in each, plus one mishap with damages under $70Q, One of the accidents was a hit and run, and one resulted in a charge being laid under the Highway Traffic Act. Schreiber Ontario Provin- cial Police were assisted in two other motor vehicle accidents. In other local police mat- ters, assistance was given to people.travelling through the area in need of welfare due to financial difficulties. A complaint was responded to regarding youths drinking in one of the local establishments. The youths were suspected of being under age. Upon arrival by police, the suspects had left. No fur- ther action was taken. Assitance was given to 'Thunder - Bay, Police - in Due to the relatively small size of the townsite, most residents are within walking distance of an open space area and shop- ping facilities. Cook's Lake Creek, which runs through the townsite, is subject to some flooding and some lands adjacent to it are therefore considered hazardous for development. At present, 22.4 per cent or 39.7 hectares of the townsite is being used for residential purposes. This is the largest single existing land use. Nearly 20 hectares, or 11 per cent of the townsite is used for Industrial pur- poses, the majority of which is land occupied by the CPR. Institutional uses, such as municipal facilities, schools, and churches, oc- cupy 4.2 per cent or 7.4 hectares within the townsite. Commercial use on the Highway and commercial uses in the downtown area occupy 4.2 and 3.1 hec- tares, respectively. Housing Characteristics: The land in the Schreiber townsite being used for residential pur- poses is comprised of 603 dwelling units. About 472 of these units are single family detached dwellings. Forty-four of the units are in semi-detached dwell- ings, and 46 are within apartment buildings. There are approximate- ly 34 mobile homes in the Schreiber townsite and seven apartments above commercial uses. About 33 per cent of the homes in Schreiber were built prior to 1946. Another third were built between 1946 and 1960. During the 1961-1970 and 1971-1985 periods, ap- proximately eight and 26 per cent, respectively, of the homes were constructed. Residential Land Available There is' considerable land available in, or direct- ly adjacent to, the townsite for new residential development. It is estimated that approx- imately 300 lots could be created on land owned by the municipality and private interests. Municipal Services All of the developed pro- perties in townsite are serv- ed by a municipal water distribution system. This system is in excellent con- dition as is the water treat- ment plant. Developed pro- perties outside of the townsite utilize lakewater, wells, or transport water. All but the properties on Railway Street in the townsite are served by a municipal sewage collec- tion system. Generally, the sewage collection system is in good shape, although some infiltration of groundwater into the system occurs north of the Highway. The sewage treatment plant, located at the north end of Winnipeg Street, was constructed in 1975. The extent of storm checking some suspicious persons in the local area in connection with several break and enters in the vicinity. Waterloo Regional Police were also assisted regarding possible stolen licence plates. Several complaints were registered with the local force about illegally park- ed cars and driving pro- blems, all of which resulted in warnings being issued and some charges laid under the local by-laws and . the Highway Traffic Act. Police attended a local filing station to deal with a transient who was causing a disturbance. The matter was settled and no charges were laid. Several complaints were attended involving nuisance dogs, one of which was a_ suspected vicious animal. A com- plaint was investigated regarding a_ possible chlorine leak at the Kimberly-Clark mill, but the report was determined to be completely unfounded. Thunder Bay Police re- quested assistance in their investigation of a stolen snow machine in the area. One report of suspicious phone calls was reported and police attended to one domestic incident. Ontario -- Provincial Police in Chapleau have re- quested assistance and in- formation regarding a theft in their area, and this is still under investigation. Terrace Bay Police Chief Russ Phillips wishes to inform area snow machine enthusiasts that. the last snowmobile course for the year will start on March 9. All who are in- terested should visit the township police office and pick up an application form. The first 20 paid ap- plicants will be accepted, he said. Cost of the course is $11. Residents are also reminded by Chief Phillips that the handicapped park- ing spaces in town, especially at the arena, will be enforced. These spaces are reserved for the han- dicapped drivers of the area who are attending special events at the arena and the Recreation Centre. Motorists are asked for their cooperation. Lavallet elected Jack L. Lavallet, the general manager of the Kimberly-Clark pulp and paper mill in Terrace Bay, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Ontario Forest Industries Associa- tion (OFIA) at the group's 43rd annual meeting held in Toronto earlier this month. According to an OFIA news release, Lavallet will be in the pulp and paper group of the board, along with seven others. There is also a lumber and sawmill . group in the board. sewers in the townsite is quite limited. Those areas not served by storm sewers have ditches and _ self- draining catchbasins. The latter may be used due to the porous nature of the soil. Solid Waste Schreiber Township utilizes a solid waste disposal site in Terrace Bay. The two municipalities have a joint agreement in respect to the maintenance and use of the dump. Next week: The climate for planning.
