COI11'1ITTEES CONT ' D representatives from the South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority attended and discussed in detail, a proposed flood control engin- eering study, and would recommend that this work be approved and undertaken for the year 1974. It was further suggested that land fill and dump regulations be examined in the undeveloped areas and the S.L.S.C.A. were to suggest the areas proposed in draft form for Council's consideration~ Item #2. 1973 Audit Report: The Town Auditor, Mr. Dean Dunlop and Town Treasurer, Mr. William Johnson discussed the 1973 Audit Report. It was indicated that the departments were underspent, due to the uncertainty as to the amount of grants. This would undoubtedly account for the variances between the Auditor's actual and Treasurer's estimated figures. In addition, it was pointed out this was a surplus of revenue, and not expense. Item #3. Mr. J. Service, Elderberry Hills. Mustang Developments Ltd. 0 Mr. Jim Service and Messrs. Ian Smith and Jim Elder, discussed Report #63 J~ea Services Technical Report. It was indicated by Mr. Jim Service that the original development had been amended to show thirty seven lots, some comprising one acre. Due to the irregular terrain, the lots would reflect the topography of the area. This would allow a pond to catch tl1e Spring ,;...m-off and ensure minimum capacity for wells. As the revised plans differed from those originally discussed in respect to minimum size lots, it was felt Area Services comments should be made known to Council. This revised draft based on the report, differs from the Interim Estate Residential policy which calls for minimum two acre lots. Item #4. Committee of Adjustment: Members of the Committee of Adjustment, including Mr. Bill Montg.,m!U:'Y, Messrs. Bennett and Reid and l"'ll's. Anne Gibberd and Mrs. Jackie Sanderson, were present.
