B12 Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin, Wednesday, January 1, 2014 www.southshorenow.ca Landowner gets six more months to deal with First South property

By KEITH CORCORAN [email protected]

COUNTY — Peter Lowry has six more months to deal with auto parts and other materials on his First South property that the Municipality of Lunenburg has deemed unsightly. Civic politicians recently passed a mo- tion extending the deadline of a municipal order on Mr. Lowry to remove materials in question from his one-hectare-size High- way 332 property. Council’s motion offered extra time for him to either remove the items or provide acceptable concealment. The municipal order called for the dis- posal of “two derelict vans,” automobile components and other “junk.” Some, but not all, of the items in ques- tion were cleaned up, municipal building official, Michael Bevis indicated during a recent informal meeting of Municipal- ity of Lunenburg councillors where Mr. STACEY COLWELL PHOTO Lowry’s hearing was dealt with. Mr. Lowry appealed the order.
