Drainage problems affecting Clearview Subdivision; roads in Heritage Park and Kingsview Subdivisions; and the develop- ment and use of lot 7, the farm owned by Dr. John Barrie. were the main topics on the agenda at the monthly meeting of the King City Village trustees held in the Memorial Library on June 25. "An eight to nine foot deep pond in Village Developments property, the former Stewart farm, is thought to be keeping cellars wet in Clearview Subdiv- ision,” said the chairman of the trustees, E. R. Smith. “Water appears to be seeping through tile that had formerly been used to drain the farm.” “Is there any likelihood of an water course or springs under Clearview subd1v1510n ” queried trustee Ron Bolton. “We should go and have a look at it before making any definite decision." This course of action the trus- tres agreed to take. Appears At Meeting Dr. John Barrie appeared be- fore the trustees with a request regarding the development and use of lot 7. Water easement should be” reduced if water rights were adequately safe- guarded, suggested Dl‘. Barrie: The village well is situated on the Barrie property and the easement protects village wa- ter rights. To protect these rights it was the suggestion of the township engineer last year that the village retain the ease- ment to 16 feet above the water land. The property was then un- der option to Kingcross Estates who felt the 16 feet above water level took in high land that should be used for development. Kingcross Estates dropped the option. Mr. Smith had visited some of the complainants’ homes and had found in one case the sump pump going every 15 minutes, in another the water was up to the sump pump motor. He stated the residents are getting up a peti- tion to send to the trustees be- cause of the seriousness of the situation. “The pond should be drained,” continued Mr. Smith, “because of the danger of child- ren drowning in it.” Drainage Main Topic As KingTrusteesMeet Dr. Barrie presented a rough plan showing park land follow- ing the natural contours of the land under easement which would “ The Liberal " Telephone TU. 4-1105 be 25 acres out of the hundred." said Chairman E. R. Smith. “We don't want high land for water." He then asked Dr. Barrie if there was an additional piece set aside for a school. 0n con- firmation that there was, school trustee A. J. Gordon with the village trustees viewed the land that might be used by the school. Dr. Barrie stated he had one condition to present to the trus- tees and that was that the park land be given to the Humber Valley Conservation Authority in trust for 10 years. The trustees advised him to see Warden Leav- ens of Bolton concerning this matter. Dr. Barrie was advised by the trustees to see the Plan- ning Board of King Twp. who were meeting that night then advise trustees as to the out- come. Roads Representing residents of Her- itage Park, George Cruickshank asked the trustees what could be done about the roads in that subdivision. “The roads are fall- ing apart.” he said. “Besides being graded and gravelled, there must be drain- age,” said Chairman Smith, “and the only holdup is the ease- ments." “Subdivider Leo Vall- entine went ahead and secured 10 foot easements signed. but D.H.O. engineer Philip Breit- haupt requires the 20 foot ease- ment. The Department of High- ways will not grant the subsidy unless the roads come up to standard,” he said. Ask Compliance It was decided by the trustees to send a letter to the township requesting that John Dew be in- formed that he comply within the next 60 days with the recom- mendations of the Department of Highways regarding roads and drainage in Kingsview subdivion or forfeit his bond. This was the last meeting for secretary Harvey B. Malcolm who tendered his resignation last month.
