Dear Mr. Barr:


RE: 911 ADDRESSING NORTH Of LAKE STREET

At the Marsh 16th, 2006 meeting of the Emergency Services Committee, your request to extend Lake Street north in Inverhuron of its current location along the shoreline and renumber all cottages on this piece of road was discussed.

It was agreed that the affected cottages in this area present a very confusing situation for mapping purposes. Mapping provided by Bruce County and used by local emergency services for emergency services does not clearly locate properties for quick reference due to the reference road use to address the cottages in question.

This is highlighted with some properties located adjacent to each other using Lake Street, Wood Street and Cayley Street respectively to identify them. This could be made much clearer by changing all these cottages to a Lake Street address and requesting the Municipality to extend Lake Street farther (in name only) north to Cayley Street.

Upon inspection of the area in question, large sand dunes were noted to the east of shoreline cottages located north of Lake Street. It is recommended that this sand dune area be left as is and only a road name designation would be assigned to this area for mapping purposes. There are no current plans for development of this proposed read allowance into a standard size road. The Emergency Services Committee is requesting that the Inverhuron District Ratepayers Association send their intended solution to this issue in writing to the Emergency Services Committee c/o Municipality of Kincardine Fire Department for action. It is requested that the correspondence be signed by the IDRA executive for this action to proceed. Please feel free to contact the undersigned at any time with questions or concerns regarding this issue.


Yours truly,
Jamie MacKinnon, CEMC
On behalf of the Emergency Services Committee
