Rezoning of Duke street home. The property

of 157 Duke Street has been rezoned from institutional

back to low-density residential. The property was originally

zoned low-density residential but was rezoned to

institutional several months ago to make room for a

day care. The day care backed out, looking for a better

property.

 Adopt-a-book declined funding. Council

refused a request to grant money to the South Shore Regional

Library Board Adopt-a-Book campaign. Council

cited the fact it currently grants money to the board on

an annual basis.

Grants approved. A grant for $500 was approved

by council for the Blandford and Area Historical Society.

A $200 grant was approved for start-up help for the

Chester Municipal Crime Prevention Association.

 New street names. Minnie Miller Lane has been

approved for the name of a new street in Hubbards off

Route 329 for a development near Northwest Cove.

Mallard Lane has been approved for the name of a

new street off Highway 3 in Chester near Stanford Lake.
