East Wawanosh buys Belgrave subdivision BY GARY WALDEN The township of East Wawanosh gave authorization at its Dec. 3 meeting to purchase a sub-division in Belgrave. The sub-division was formerly owned by Lome Humphry and was purchased from the first mortgage holder by “power of sale’’. It contains38 lots that are for sale plus a commercial lot of three acres. Mr. Humphry had ap­ proached council earlier about buying the sub-division as he felt it would be in the interest of the township to have the title of the land cleared so that development could continue. At that time council did not appear interested, however after some reflection it was felt that if the partially completed sub-division could be purchased for the right price, then the township could either develop it themselves, or sell it to a developer with a clear title so that he could finish it. Either way they felt it was in the best interest of the township to give the sub-division a push. The purchase price of the sub-division was $48,000. As the deal is just in the process of closing, council was not at liberty to say what they were going to do with it yet. The final touches were applied to the zoning by-laws being prepared for East Wawanosh. The next step according to Wayne Caldwell is to mail out to all the taxpayers copies of the new by-laws and then hold an open house so that anyone who has questions about any of the zoning by-laws can discuss them conven­ iently and in private with either Mr. Caldwell or with the council. There was a request from the Brussels flood plain to be reviewed Minister of Transportation and Communication to change the designation on a lot from industrial use to institutional use. The lot in question is the picnic area on the west side of Highway 4 approxi­ mately two miles north of Blyth. At present it is being used as a roadside picnic area. Council felt that it should be left as such as a lot of people use it. However, the M.T.C. wants to sell it. If they did sell it and the zoning on it was changed then a buyer could possibly purchase it with the intent of building a residence on it. However, there are three active farming operations very close to this lot which should prevent the building of a house, unless the zoning by-laws were bent consid­ erably. Council felt it best to purchase the lot themselves, so as to prevent a smelly situation later on. The company that was hired to do the drilling at the township dump has completed the holes, but no testing for leaching has been done as yet. It will be at least one month before there are any results. The Impact Study on tax reform was presented to council with council motioning to proceed with the updating on tax redistribution. According to the report, approxi­ mately 65 per cent of farms should suffer little or no change in their taxes, with 12 per cent being reduced and 25 per cent of the farms suffering an increase. Any- onewhohasnotmetwiththe tax assessor from Goderich in the past year should contact a councillor immediately. The report found that the value of vacant farmland has increased by about $400 from 1975 where as, farmland with buildings on it has remained level. With the residential units in the township it was found that approxi­ mately 75 per cent should suffer no change in taxes. However the value of vacant lots has increased. An Open House is to be set up so that rate-payers can discuss any changes to their new assessment in private with the tax assessors. 5% DISCOUNT ON ORDERS OVER $50.00 Snell’s Grocery Limited BLYTH 523-9332 FILL ‘ER UP AND SAVE $$$$$ The Maitland Valley Conserva­ tion Authority was asked Monday night by Brussels Village Council to undertake a review of flood plain designations in the village. Phil Beard, Resources Planning Co-ordinator for the Authority, told council that the MVCA would entertain a request for a review of the situation since the “regional flood Plain lines’’ adopted a decade ago are so high compared with the 100-year flood line. While in most areas the regional designation is only about three feet different from the 100-year flood line, Mr. Beard said, in parts of Brussels there is a 10-foot differ- ence. It could mean a significant different, he said, in development of land in the village. “I could help making additions,’’ he said. “It would affect the amount of flood proofing needed.’’ Reeve Hank Ten Pas hailed the possibility as being more realistic, study. 72ouncillor Gordon Workman said it was time something was done to change the situation which has seen some lands left vacant because of their designation as being in the flood plain. Councilexpressed concern a- bout land along Albert Street north of the river and in the Bryans, McDonald and Krauter subdivi­ sions. Council passed a resolution asking for the study. Mr. Beard said this resolution would help the MVCA convince the Ministry of Natural Resources for money to undertake the study. There will be no immediate cost to the munici- pality but if the review is complet­ ed, cost to the village will be about 10 per cent of the total cost. Preliminary work could begin in 19.87, Mr. Beard said, but MNR funding wouldn’tbe available until 1988 at the earliest to complete the OPEN MON.-SAT.9-6 THURS. NJGHTTILL9 ★ FRESH PRODUCE ★ 1 PROD.
