FROM WALTON
A contentious issue between many
Seaforth residents and Huron East
Council may start from scratch in
2013.
Developer Brian Barnim,
responding to a letter he received
from Huron East Council, appeared
as a delegation at the Dec. 18
meeting of council. At a meeting
earlier that month council had
cancelled the development
agreement between Barnim and the
municipality for a subdivision
Barnim had planned near the site of
the former Seaforth Public School.
At the time, council felt Barnim
had not fulfilled his end of the
bargain and once several years had
passed, they felt it was time to
eliminate the agreement. One of the
major issues of contention in the
agreement between residents and
council was a motion where
$125,000 was to be given to Barnim
from Seaforth’s pre-amalgamation
reserves to go toward costs
associated with developing an
unopened road allowance on the
property.
At the meeting, however, Barnim
pointed out that the $125,000 was
part of a different motion and that
negating the development agreement
actually did not affect that money.
Barnim told councillors that he
was surprised to receive their letter,
as he thought that due to time
constraints, the development
agreement had already lapsed.
He said that there have been
numerous roadblocks and he has
become increasingly frustrated with
the approval process.
Barnim says he hired his own
engineer to prepare the plans, only to
be shut down by the municipality’s
engineer, a back-and-forth process
that he says has cost him tens of
thousands of dollars.
In addition, Barnim has had to
deal with an Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB) hearing. In addition,
he says the recession has not helped
matters.
He says it’s in the best interest of
both parties (Barnim and the
municipality) to develop the
property, but he has run into a wall
with the municipality’s engineer
over drainage in the subdivision. The
result of the discussion has been that
Barnim will likely have to construct
a pond in the subdivision to help
with drainage.
“I’ve spent $40,000 here, then
another $10,000 to pay your
engineer to tell me that my $40,000
is no good,” Barnim said.
He said that if there are more costs
as a result of further engineering, the
cost to develop the property simply
won’t be viable any longer.
Barnim said it’s frustrating when
one engineer can override another
engineer, both of whom have similar
education and backgrounds, with no
discussion.
He then suggested that he and
council renegotiate terms for a new
development agreement and then put
a time limit on the agreement,
something, he says, that should have
been done in the first agreement.
“Renegotiate: that’s what we need
to do and then put a time limit on it,”
Barnim said. “We need to
renegotiate this thing and move
forward.”
Mayor Bernie MacLellan told
council that if they wanted to
reconsider the $125,000 motion,
which had already been passed in
2010, they would have to raise it
from the floor, which would require
a two-thirds majority.
A motion was then passed to raise
the issue of the money at council’s
next meeting, which is Jan. 8.
Barnim and the municipality will
begin renegotiating a new
development agreement soon after
the issue of the $125,000 is settled at
the Jan. 8 meeting.

The Christmas meeting of Melville
Presbyterian Church Guild and
Women’s Missionary Society was
held at the home of Jeanne Kirkby on
Tuesday, Dec. 18 with 10 members
present. Jeanne Kirkby welcomed
everyone and the WMS purpose was
repeated in unison to open the
meeting.
Jean Bewley read the scripture,
Luke, chapter 2 and Linda Garland
led in prayer. Marg Work, Dona
Knight, Alice Marks, Elaine
Armstrong, Mary Douma, Leona
Armstrong, Jeanne Kirkby and
Margaret Siertsema each read a short
story or poem.
The minutes of the November
meeting were read. Jeanne Kirkby
moved to adopt the minutes as read,
seconded by Jean Bewley. Jeanne
Kirkby gave the Guild treasurer’s
report and Leona Armstrong gave the
WMS treasurer’s report. The roll call
was answered with everyone telling
their Christmas wish. The WMS
annual meeting to be held in
Wingham on Jan. 21 was discussed.
The group is responsible for the
memorial part of the program. Linda
Garland discussed the possibility of a
Community Compassion Tea on Feb.
9 to help the people of the
community who are in need. All
churches would be involved.
Jean Bewley invited the Guild to
her home for the January meeting. It
will be a potluck dinner to be held on
Jan. 15 at 6:30 p.m.
A Christmas carol-sing followed
the business and a social time and
delicious potluck lunch was enjoyed.
