CORRESPONDENCE WAS READ AS FOLLOWS:
1. From Howard Gilbert, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Transportation
and Communications noting that many County Engineers were less than
I
enthusiastic about applying the Urban Method of Subsidizing Overhead
and Equipment to Counties. Thus the present method of actual
expenditures (ie., Rural Method) would be maintained by the Ministry.
The Engineer noted that unanimous opposition had been lraised by all the
Counties and that a CorrrrnitteeV,(of which he was a member) has had
numerous meetings with the Ministry to try and convince them that the
imposition of the Urban Method would be to the detriment of the
Counties of Ontario.
2. From Howard Gilbert, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Tr'ansportation
and Communications stating that legislation would be brought forward
at the next ..sitting of the house to allow County Councils to revert
County Bridges not on County Lines to the Municipalities in which
they lay and that the various County Councils would be the sole
deciding body for the jurisdiction of these bridges and whether or
not funds were expended upon them to maintain or replace them. The
Ministry's subsidy policy to these bridges would be 80%, this would
remain unchanged from the present policy.
3. From the Township of Southwold with a zoning by-law to rezone property
on County Road #26 (Bostwick Road) from agricultural to residential.
4. The Township of Southwold with a by-law to rezone property at the east
limit of the Village of Shedden on the north side of Highway #3 to
cVlluuercial to allow the building of a new Canadian Bank of CVll1LUerce.
5. From the Township of Yarmouth with a zoning by-law to rezone a lot
between Hydro Road and the C.N.R. Line south of County Road #29 as an
estate lot.
6. From the Township of Yarmouth to rezone property on County Road #27
near Sparta for the cutting and sale and storage of cloth products, etc.

7. From the Village of Rodney expressing their thanks to the members of
the County Road Committee for providing $500 toward the boulevard
repairs in lieu of the estimated cost of the asphalt work for which
the County would have been responsible. The Village of Rodney had
placed interlbcking brick boulevard in its place which greatly improved
the appearance of the business section.
The Engineer was instructed to provide members of County Council with
the minutes of the previous meeting and with the minutes of the meeting
of November 19 to implement the decision of County Council to receive
all County Road Corrrrnittee minutes. It was noted that some change
might be necessary in the dates of the meetings so that the minutes could
be received by Council members prior to a County Council Session.

Correspondence w'as read from the Village of Rodney, a.nd the Rodney
Industrial Commission requesting that the County of Elgin replace
portions of asphalt boulevard which had been dug up for the repair of
curb and gutter with interlocking brick instead of hot mix asphalt.
Inasmuch as' the correspondence had not been previously received by the
Engineer, the Engineer stated that he had no idea of the exact length
and/or location that the Village wished to have replaced with brick.
It was decided that the Assistant Engineer would meet with the Village
representatives to find out which they wished. It was noted that under
the County I s pres'ent policy the boulevard would be replaced with the
same material as it was previous to the work. It was suggested that
the County could pay the money that it would have cost the County to
replace the boulevard to the Village so that they could apply this
toward the interlocking brick. The CUllI,Lllittee decided t:o review the
matter at the next meeting.
It was noted that the County of Oxford would soon bE~ in an emergency
si tuati.on with regard to disposal of solid waste and i 1: appeared that the
site to be used on an eme,rgency basis would be the St. Thomas Sanitary
Collection Site in Southwold Township. The matter was discussed at some
length and it was' felt if the site would be used that it would be for a
minimum of two (2) years and could be for considerably longer than that
before the County of Oxford had approvals for their ne'w Salford Site.
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO
AUGUST 12, 1981
PAGE 9.
It was felt that the volume of solid waste that would be put into the
site could seriouslY reduce the Ministry of the Environment'S approved
space at the present site and that additional environmental approvals.
etc~WOUld be required by the st. Thomas sanitary collection services to
provide a disposal area for the residents of Elgin county. Thus not onlY
would the county of Elgin be deprived of a waste disposal site but a
large cost increase would also be faced by the residents in the county.
warden Monteith stated that the Township of southWold would forward to the
Ministry of the Environment a letter of protest and were trying to arrange
a meeting with the Minister with regard to this matter at an earlY date.
The Engineer was instructed to meet with the Ministry as soon as

possible.

POTENTIAL CONCERNS REGARDING PRIMESITE DEVELOPMENT
WELLINGTON ROAD - ROAD 25
July 1981
1. Drainage from the development should r~n to the $~uth ~nto
Underhill Drain rather than to the north. Minimal drainage to
the north only, as culverts across Wellington Roa.d and Road 29
west are si~ed for Fat'lll Orainage only.

Items Affe~tin~ W~li~ton Road:
(II) Ministry of Transportation aJ:ld Cv.~"unicatioJ:l$ has control
over entran~es, etc., for ~ tn.ile from intersection of
Wellington J{oad and St. Thomas Expressway for shopping
centres, etc.
(b) Ministry of Transportation and' COL/:u.nJnications will r'~quire
a detailed t.raffic study estimating traffic volumes,
turning movements, etc., on both Wellington Road and the
St. Thomas Expressway.
(c) Central ELginPlanrting Board requires a comprehensive
'ffi3'.-:keting, and impact study regarding the local. economy,
taxation, potential sales etc., before an offical plan
amendment can be made.

(8) On Wellington Road the minimum improvement length would likely
be O.N.R. C~ossing to the St. Thomas Expressway. Pos:sible
requirements.. widening to 4 lanes (including necessary land
pur.-chase and utility r.-e:J;ocation), channelization of
intersection (2 intosh9pping centre plus County Road 26),
synchronized traffic signals" lighting, drainage, signing,
etc.
(h) AS this section is not deficient at present time (Ministry
of Transpor.-tation and COIllffiunications-.Co.UntyNeeds Study),
D$ve1oper should pay all cost$ (agreements, cash cleposit,
non cancellablelmJ:!,:i,of creclit, etc. ,requi~ed). ....
(i) It is unlikely b1inistry of Transpor.-tation and Gonmunications
will allow any property entrances no:pth of Road 29.
. (j) A decision on the $tatus of Roa<1 29 (east) will be required.
J.)oes this retfvdn a County Road? (Who. s responsi,blE! fo'J:'

0<.) A decision of Road .29 (west) will be required. Should road
be closed or upgraded.. Wor.-k required on several hund.red
feet, including new culvert, etc.
(1) Realignment of Road 26 will he difficult as pres~ntt:'oads
do not meet and Hydro Tran~ission Tower may make an
intersection design difficult.
(m) · Road 26 (St. George Street) is presently a deficient
road with 2.600 vehicles j:. Who rebuilds it if traffic
increases? (Say to 4,000 byth(l.t volume. the 'rQad at
Cowan Park and the hi.ll has become intolerable.)
(n) The County and the Ministry of Transportation and
Gv'ulluunications will have to develop their needs together
after reviewing traffic consultant's forecasts.

10 in total. All tandems, 8 - 10 cu. yd. capacity.
POOR CONDITION # 6 - King Seagrave - purchased 1970.
# 7 - Frink - purchased 1970.
FAIR CONDITION
These have had work done in the pasit
few years but are probably only good
for one or two more seasons.
# 3 - King Seagrave - purchased 1966.
# 4 - King Seagrave - purchased 1968.
# 5 - King Seagrave - purchased 1970.
REASONABLY GOOD CONDITION., - Some repairs and painting (all but #12)
required.
# 8 & # 9 - Frink - purchased 1972.
#10 & #11 - King Seagrave - purchased 1975,
(5 seasons).
#12 - King Seagrave - purchased 1977 (3 seasons).
Some Sanders - hydraulically driven; some motor driven.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Junk # 6 & # 7 - salvage anthing worthwhile, chains, gear boxes,
(motor on one) (hydraulical on the other).
2. Purchase two new sanders.
3. Minor repairs only to get # 3, # 4, & # 5, through the Winter

The Engineer noted the Ontario Task Force and Rail poli.cy had
completed their study and had made various recommendations ~mich would
set guide lines for the abandonment application by the C.N .:ffi:. for the London _
and Port Stanley Line from St. Thomas to Port Stanley and would probably
set guide lines for future Conrail Track through Elgin. The Engineer
reported that it had been rumoured that the Canadian National Railway
was negotiating with Conrail for running rights for Via Passenger Train
between Windsor and Buffalo although it appeared that passenger demand had
been quite light when the US Government ran the Amtrack Serv'ice over the
same line. However, it was noted that a new passenger service between
Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Toronto via the Toronto, Hamilton, Buffalo
Railway would soon be implemented.
It was agreed that if funds were available this Fall an attempt would
be made to purchase widening for Road #8 south of Road #16 from Doug
Simpson and Peter Hentz. It was a~so agreed that if funds ~~re not
available this year for this purchase it would be a priority item in 1982.
Bob Davies reported that he had done some work on the traffic study at
the Intersection of Highway #76 and County Road #2 and was hoping to take
a new turning movement traffic count at the intersection within the next

curb and gutttr and sidewalk on this section. All work would be
paid for by the Village of Port Stanley.
16. Considerable work had been done at the County' s P1E~asant Valley
Gravel Pit. The scales which has been purchased at the Yundt
McCann Auction had been cleaned and painted and were presently
in service at the pit. Considerable stripping and levelling
had been done in the past month, it was expected that this work
would meet the approval of the Ministry of Natural Resources'
Pit and Quarry Inspector who had felt that the County's previous
operations were not up to their standards.
17. Construction work was underway on County Road #38. Land purchase
had been completed except for Mr. RaYBon. It was expected that
to cVllLp1ete an agreement with Mr. Rayson it would take considerable
time and an agreement was not likely before paving. Most fence
had been erected. All trees had been cut. The stumps had been
removed and had been taken to a washout on County Road #42 east
of Port Burwell. Stripping of top soil was underway as well as
ditching and place~nt of culverts and drain. Two branches for
the Number One Municipal Drain would be placed at this time
inasmuch as a new drain report was being drawn up and would
come into effect as soon as it could be put through Bayham
Township Council. Very wet conditions had been encountered on
the drain branches. placement of sand and gravel on the two
curves to be revised would start shortly. It was hoped most
ditching would be completed within 10 days.
18. Gravel for asphalt paving backup was being placed on Wards
Hill on Road #38.

2. From the Ministry of the Environment asking if the county of Elgin
was interested in pursuing at thiS time their applicatiOn of
December 7, 1975 to enlarge the area served by the nunwich Landfill
site. The Engineer explained the circumstances under which the
applicatiOn waS made for the neW members, stating that at that
time it !l,ppear.E!'d that there would have been an emergencY situation
in that there was no other location open as a waste diSposal site
other than the TownshiP of nunwich site. The application had
not been pursued because resultant negotiation had provided a
diSposal for county Waste with the St. Thomas Sanitary Services

would be available from the Ministry of TransportatiOn and

considerable ($20 _ $25 each). 1.t waS decided to disCuSS the matter
further at countY council when representatiVes of the Talbot Trail

The Engineer noted that the floor of the MiddlemisS Bridge had
developed another hole since committee 1.nspection. .1.t"had bel"n,repaired
and a close watch was being kept on the bridge floor althoUgh nO
further holes had been noted in the past week. The Engineer stated

The Engineer reported that he had discUssions with the Ministry of
of port Bur~ll. The construction Branch of the Ministry was still
unable to allocate StljJf'1..\Ci'etit funds so that a contract could be called
at the present time. The Ministry of the Environment also felt that
even if a contract could be called in the near future (which seemed
unlikelY) work would not start before september 1. Inasmuch as the
county work on county Roads #42 and #50 would have followed this the
county probablY would not be able to do any work until very late in
the year. The Engineer SUggested that work on port Burwell be held
in abeyance until 1982 and that any available funds from the project

Road #34 in Belmont as prime - ~ mile. (g) County Road #47 from
County Road #48 to Avon, South Dorchester Township - 3.5 miles.
(h) County Road #51, Yarmouth Township west of the County
Garage - 4/10 of a mile; total mileage approximately 15.2 miles.
8. We have requested the Ministry of Transportation and Communications
to ascertain if the Smoke Road in the Township of Southwo1d meets
the criteria as a County Road. The Road is the extension of
County Road #45 north from Midd1emarch to Highway #3 and is
heavily travelled by trucks in the harvest season.
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That by-laws be passed limiting the weight on various County Bridges
as follows:
a) Cooks, on Road #43 - 15 Tonnes.
b) Phi11more, on Road #43 - 15 Tonnes.
c) Robbins, Yarmouth-Southwo1d Town1ine - 4 Tonnes.
d) Fulton, Yarmouth-Southwo1d Town1ine - 15 Tonnes.
e) Meeks, Yarmouth-Southwo1d Townline - 18 Tonnes.
f) Jamestown, Yarmouth-Ma1ahide Town1ine - 15 Tonnes.
g) Vienna, Bayham-Vienna Town1ine - 20 Tonnes.
h) Tait's, Dunwich-Ekfrid Town1ine (Middlesex County) - 15 Tonnes.
i) Ling's, Southwo1d-Westminister Town1ine (Middlesex County) -
15 Tonnes.
j) Middlemiss, County Road #14 Southwo1d-Dunwich-Ekfrid-Caradoc
Town1ine (Middlesex County) - 20 Tonnes.
The Ministry of Transportation and CVlluuunications' approval of the
County of Elgin's present by-laws run out in August 1981, it is
necessary to pass new by-laws and receive the approval of the
Ministry of Transportation and Communications prior to that date.
The load limits on all the bridges other than Middlemiss are the
same as in previous by-laws. Your Committee recommends the load
limit for the Middlemiss Bridge be lowered from the present
30 Tons, to 20 Tonnes (approximately 22 ton) due to the rapid

deterioration of the structure. It is hoped by limiting the
weight of vehicles on the bridge, the life of the bridge may be
prolonged.
2. That a by-law be passed stating that the County has no objections
to the passage of a by-law by the Township of Yarmouth closing
a portion of the road in Lot 5, Range II, North of the Edgeware
Road as shown as Part #1 on Reference Plan 11R 2154. The parcel
of land is a part of old County Road #52 commencing at the west
side of the old Carrs Bridge and running easterly to the east
limit of the property of the Kettle Creek Conservation Authority.
As part of an agreement between the County of Elgin and the
Authority to obtain certain Authority lands for reconstruction
of Road #31 and Road #52, it was agreed that portions of road
allowance no longer required by the County abutting Conservation
Authority lands would be deeded to the Authority. The Authority
has had possession of the property for some time.
3. That a by-law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to sign
a deed selling to the Kettle Creek Conservation Aut.hority a
portion of Lot 9, Concession 11, Yarmouth Township shown as
Part #4 on Reference Plan 11R 2278. This is also part of an
exchange of property between the County of Elgin and the Kettle
Creek Conservation Authority that facilitated the rebuilding of
County Road #30 (Radio Road). It was agreed that the properties
would be exchanged between the Authority and the County at no
cost to either body, and the County of Elgin would pay all legal
and surveying cost,s, etc.
4. That a County Council inspection of County Roads in East and
Central Elgin take place on June 18 leaving the Court House at
9 a.m.

G1enco1in on Road #40 at the regular County rates. The Committee felt that if
property could be obtained the corner could be improved at a future time.
THE ENGINEER ALSO REPORTED that it appeared at the present time that the
property budget would be depleted when the present land programme was
finished and that property purchase on Road #f3 south of Wa11acetown would have
to be postponed until next year.

proposed "Urban Rental Rates" subsidy system and another meeting would be
held on April 21 in palmerston after which the Committee would take the
consensus of these meetings and meet with John Moffat of the M.T.C. to

see if they can convince the M.T.C. to either postpone the method or to.
provide a better subsidy arrangement for the Counties. The Engineer
reported that Engineers from the Western Group were unanimously opposed
to the system while those in the East had not yet had sufficient time to.
investigate the matter fully.
The Engineer stated that he had been requested by the Reeve of
Rodney to. make curb, gutter and drainage repairs on Road #3 in Rodney and
suggested that the praposed repairs be loaked at by the CVlllJ.ldttee during
the West Elgin Road Inspection.
The Engineer stated that he felt that asphalt resurfacing contracts
should be called soan and it appeared that funds were available far wark
on County Road #38 east of Straffordvi11e and far Road #45 from
Midd1emarch to ane mile south, but it did not appear that there would be
sufficient funds for any other resurfacing work at this time. He felt
that the top coat of asphalt for Ward's Hill on Road #38 should be
called in the same contract. Some minor patching in various places
reasanab1y close to this work should be called at the same time. Patching
in the narth Ma1ahide-Sauth Darchester area shau1d be pastponed until
such time as a contract was called for paving on Road #32.
A surface treatment checklist would be pravided as soon as possible.
The Engineer noted that a propased amendment C227 of the Railway Act
would provide for the erection of chain link fence along railroads rights
of way through urban municipalities with the urban municipalities sharing
the cost with the rai1ro.a.ds. The CVlllJ.llittee suggested that the Engineer write
Honaurab1e John Wise, M~P., and bring this matter to. his attlenti0n inasmuch
as the cost to the urban municipalities would undaubted1y be prohibitive.

The Engineer presented the attached needs study update information
for the 1982 Allocation and discussed its financial implications stating
that it appeared that the County would not get any more construction money
than they did this year and quite possibly get a somewhat lesser
construction a11ocation~
This was because of the declining needs of the
County with over 1 million dollars of needs having been accomplished in the
factor that would be used by the Ministry of Transporation and
as the 1981 Spring breakup had been relatively minor. The inflation
past year. Very few needs had been added during the Needs Study Update
Connnunications in 1982 would probably not be available until mid-stwuuer
and an accurate estimate of allocations would not be available until then.

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
FIRST REPORT
March Session
1981
TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL,
YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Tenders for Walkers Bridge have been received and the bid of
McLean-Foster Construction Limited of St. Marys, $962,078.75
has been accepted. The bid has also been accepted by the
County of Middlesex. Eleven tenders were received and were
as attached. It is expected that the work will start~ when
the weather conditions are suitable in the Spring.
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That the resolution of the County of Brant re Transfe:r of
Counties to the Urban Method of Subsidy Calculations from
the Rural Method of the M.T.C. be tabled until furthe:r infor-
mation on the changeover is available from the M.T.C.
2. That Albert Auckland be authorized to attend the annual meeting
of.the Suburban Road Commissions of Ontario to be held in June
at Owen Sound with the usual convention expenses paid.
3. That the budget of the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission in
the amount of $248,400 be approved. This budget was detailed
in the Committee's February Report to County Council and was
approved by County Council along with the County budget at that
time.
4. That a Resolution be passed requesting the M.T.C. to approve
the sum of $50,000 in subsidy money so that the County of Elgin
can institute a programme of roadside safety in the County of
Elgin by the removal of roadside obstacles. The Honourable
James Snow, Minister of Highways in his address at the Ontario
Good Roads Convention intimated that consideration would be given
to supplementary expenditure bylaws that would improve roadside
safety in the Province of Ontario. Your Committee desires to
remove tree stumps along various highly travelled County and
Suburban roads. It is our understanding that the rate of subsidy
on the project would be 90.9%, thus a $50,000 subsidy allocation
would provide a budget of $55,000 for this work.

to the Neilson property at Luton on County Road 45. The discussion centered
upon whether or not it was necessary to give a permit to allow a property to
be rebuilt on the original site as it hRs been destroyed by fire. The Engineer
stated that the original house encroached upon the 66' road allowance and thus
it would be impossible to place the house back where it was. The matter was
left in the Township of Ma1ahide's hands to obtain a ruling as to whether or
not a new building permit would have to comply with the set-back regulations

It was noted that the Minister of Natural Resources would make a
presentation to Council with regard to the closure of Chatham Street
in Port Burwell. It was also noted that the CuulJ.uittee several years
ago had opposed this closure.
The Engineer reported that the Kettle Creek Conservation Authority
had received a report on the Da1ewood Reservoir and were requesting
cUUlJ.uents. The Engineer noted that the report stated that the quality
of the water of the Da1ewood Dam was poor and there was not much that
could be done about it except an attempt to control upstream erosion
and run' off into the reservoir. The Report was also concerned with the
stability of the dam. The Engineer felt that under normal conditions

The County of Middlese~ council had approved the calling of tenders for the

Environment, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Ministry of

concernS of the Natural ReSOurces and it appeared that all necessaL'l
approvals from both Ministries would be received. The Ministry of
TransportatiOn and communications haS alsO given structural approval of
the planS. The consultant waS presentlY preparing specificatiOns and a
tender form so that tenders might close early in March.
AgreementS had been reached with the CountY of Middlese~ and with the
consultant that earth moving on the Elgin side would be done by the
county of Elgin by daY labour.
The trees necessary to be cut would
be cut by Elgin county forces. The County of Elgin would obtain a pit and
QUarry Wayside permit for the propertY that sand fill would be obtained
from. This would reduce the cost to Elgin considerablY rather than

and Bayham Townships, James Alton, Arthur vanderispai11e, Alex Chanyi,
The following members of the Lake Erie Erosion committee for Norfolk
Bill Vanderven, met with committee with regard to erosion along the shores
of Lake Erie in front of Norfolk and Bayham Townships easterly from
port Burwell. The Erosion committee is in the process of filing a claSs
action suit against the government of canada for $30,000,000 for damages
they claim waS caused by erosion after the Federal Government built the
west pier to protect the port Burwell Rarbour. The Erosion committee felt
that they had an excellent chance of winning their suit forcing the Federal
Government into either removing the pier or building groins along the shore
to protect the property east of port Bur~ll in Norfolk and Bayham Townships
or both. The Erosion committee estimated that it would cost about $85,000
to bring the case to the supreme court of which approximatelY $43,000 had
already been promised by residentS. The Erosion committee stated that
Elgin'S pro rated cost would be something over $6,000 and requested that
the county consider giving a grant to the committee to continue court
action against the Federal Government. 1.n discUssion the Erosion committee
reported that a Rearing For Discovery had already been made and that over
185 exhibits had been entered. The Erosion committee hoped to bring an
expert over from Eur!>pe to study the situation and to testify at the
hearing. ExpertS from Ontario and canada would also be called by the
E-rosion committee.:

January 1981
The following is a list of Policies in effect on County Buildings,

of insurance, some of our older pieces of equipment havle been reduced

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE - FIRST REPORT
JANUARY 1981 SESSION
PAGE 2
4. That we recvuuuend that a resolution be passed authorizing the
Warden and Clerk to submit to the Ministry of Transportation
and Communi-cations the PetItion for Subsidy of the County of
Elgin showng Road Expenditures on the County of Elgin Road
System for the period from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 1980.
5. That the Warden name delegates to the Ontario Good Roads
Association Convention to the Roads and Transportation
Association of Canada Convention.
6. That Tenders for the replacement of the Walker Bridge be called
as soon as possible. If Council approves this recv~uendation it
is hoped that tenders would close sometime in March with
construction to start in the late Spring. Middlesex County
Council has authorized the tender call'and is tentatively
budgeting approximately $400,000 for work in 1981. Although a
final estimate is unavailable as yet from the Consultant it is
felt that approximately $400,000 would be required from each
COUnty In 19H1 rind $350,000 (rom (Inch County irl 1982. The
n(\<.:ossary property has b(,(tn ;u:qufxed by both Counti('s.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
CHAIRMAN
