JIGS HOLLOW GRAVEL PIT BACK BEFORE COUNCIL

Last Saturday's Woolwich Observer carried the following story: "Conestogo residents want more study into impact of Jigs Hollow gravel pit; inadequate to date". Bill Norrish a resident of the Golf Course Road subdivision spoke at last Tuesday's Council meeting. He and his neighbours dispute an assertion that the proposed Kuntz Landscaping pit by the Grand River and between Conestogo and Winterbourne will not have unacceptable visual impacts. Apparently the study of same by the pit applicant only used one nearby vacant property in it's assessment. As a reminder our old Council approved a zone change application for the pit, as one of it's last acts. There is an O.M.B. mediation session scheduled for May 8, 2012.
