Resident Update Submitted March 27, 2010

I happened upon an article in the EMC newspaper on Thursday March 25th regarding concerns over property owned by William Hitchon Pumps and Sprouts Landscaping. The neighbours are worried about expansion and about the size of the piles of soil and dust blowing into their homes. In the article "site plan control would look at fencing, berms and vegetation plantings", Pordham said. Terry Cassidy (councillor) suggested staff meet with the appricant and Ron Hamilton said withthe wind blowing here is a concern of dust flying into neighbours homes.

Are you kidding me? Dust? We, on the Carrying Place Road have been sucking up the dust from CB Freezers for 3 years now with the promise that they are going to pave. Not going to happen! We have not been able to sleep at night or open our windows due to he noise and in the article they mention a noise bylaw from 7 p.m.to 7 a.m. Are they not part of Quinte West or are the Sidney Township laws not the same as ours?
