It was time for an unusual pastime at Brussels Public School last week when members of the
Grade 4 class took part in basket weaving. Sarah Mitchell got some help from one of the
school’s teachers, Leslie Johnston, to help make her basket beautiful. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

Blyth development hasneighbours concernedResidents of the block bordered
by Gypsy Lane, Wellington Street,
and London and Blyth roads could
see some new construction at a
vacant lot on the west side of the
block.
The two lots, which are situated
higher than most of the surrounding
properties, are being considered for
two four-or-five unit dwellings,
with a driveway running between
the two, accessed by Gypsy Lane.
According to the submitted
application, the land, which is
currently R1 Low Residence,
which permits a maximum of two
units in a residence, would be
changed to R3 high density in the
proposed change, which would
permit one five-unit building per
lot.
This means that up ten units
could be built between the two lots
under an R3 designation.
The buildings are intended for
seniors, according to the
developers.
The potential developers,
represented by Bonnie Brak,
did state that they would reduce the
proposed units-per-building to
four-unit, which would make
the property an R2.
Concerned property owners
around the lots addressed North
Huron council during a planning
meeting held on May 3 prior to
North Huron’s regular council
meeting.
The property owners had many
concerns regarding the potential
rezoning.
In a letter to council,
representatives from eight
surrounding properties
outlined nine different potential
problems; lowered property values
due to green space and
non-ownership of units; differences
in property sizes appearances
and usages; storm water
management and snow removal;incompatibility with existingproperties; inadequate green space and buffer zones; an existing
amount of adequate residential
rental facilities for both seniors
and non-seniors and site plan
concerns, including fences over
sewer easements, a lack of
existing fences, the type of surface
to be used on the driveway
and the adjacent side lots
to the south and north are
not vacant as stated in the
application.
Kevin Reid, Richard Snell and
Rick Van Wyck all stated that
they have already experienced
flooding problems, and are
worried that the building of the unit
will complicate these existing
issues.
Councillor Alma Conn
questioned the concerned
citizens, asking if they were ready
to sit down with the property
developers and address these
problems, and most were amicable
to the idea.
“I can’t support this proposal
now,” she said. “But if
people aren’t ready to meet, we’ll
have to make the decision for
you.”
The citizens, developers and
involved parties from the council
agreed to meet at a later date in
Blyth.
