Councillor Child presented a report .of The Planning Committee re:
0. Sauro's Subdivision & J. Crossland's property in which the com-
mittee submit the following:
On July 7th,l959, this committee together with The Mayor &
lors; c. Adair, Wm. Davidson, S.G. Patrick, met to discuss
division agreement between the Town and lV!r. Olindo Sauro.
changes and corrections were found to be nec.essary and the
man was instructed to advise lV!r. Sauro of .these changes.
Council-
the sub-
Various
Chair-
At the same meeting The Chairman of the committee requested some
guidance on the matter of lV!r. James Crossland selling off the re-
mainder of his property as one :lot. After discussion it was agreed
that in view of the new purchaser evidently wishing to make it a
beauty-spot that we forgoe the Capital Levy Charge•
A further meeting was h.eld .on Thursday, July 9th,l959 i at· which·
time lV!r. Sa1iro was present to discus·s the changes we had made in the
subdivision agreement. After considerable discussion it was agreed
~t~U ~nrte~n~ »fR~ch liincluded two members of thi.s. Corn~i ttee to-.
or , The Reeve, and CouncJ.llors DavJ.dson, AdaJ.r,
Patrick, that due to the unusual circumstances pertaining to this
area, it is recommended that the lot levy be $300.00 in this instance.
It was further agreed that IVJr. Sauro should be exempted from the
Sectio!l governing curbs and gutters.and sidewalks, since it was felt
that his subdivision was being planned in an more-or-less isolated
area of Town. lV!r. Sauro agreed to install any necessar,r culverts to
take care of any drainage onto Kennedy St. where same drainage crossed
the p~operties already established.
The Chairman of this Committee was not able to contact lV!r. J. Cross-
land regarding the dticision of the last Committee meeting, and sinc.e
that time the Chairman has been in touch with the individual who may
purchase the land previously mentioned, who advises that at the
present he does not intend to sell off the other lot but may consider
it, or may be required by circumstances, to sell it .at a later date.
In view of this it would seem advisable .to approve the sale of this
land by J. Crossland on the consideration and understanding that the
Lot Levy of $300.00 be paid for each ~ot •
CHILD:
STODDART:
..,That the report of the Planning Committee re: lVIr. 0.

interpreted the subdivision agreement differently and such an ap-
