Pursuant to Subsection
12(1) of the
Municipalities Act R.S.P.E.I. 1988, Cap M-13,
the Community of Morell has applied to the Minister of Communities,
Cultural Affairs and Labour to extend the Community's municipal boundary
to include property numbers 919563, 994665, 183053, 749770 and 183558 as
outlined below:
The Community's
reasons for the boundary extension application are summarized below:
The Community of
Morell seeks to annex the above properties since the property owners
have been paying sewer dues but no municipal property taxes for a
number of years. This annexation will assist with the recognized
need to have orderly planned development and meet the service needs
of a growing community.
