Christian High School site discussed with council BY GARY WALDEN East Wawanosh councillors and representatives of the Wingham and District International Chris- tian High School Society Inc. met - January 31 to iron out misunder- standings about the state of the school's plans for a school in Hutton Heights subdivision, south of Wingham. Questions had arisen at the last meeting of council about the situation of the property which does not have direct access to streets or roads. James Campbell speaking for the school, said council should have been aware of what was going on since it had been notified of all meetings. Councillor Fred Meier wanted to know what provisions had been made regarding access to the lot. Mr. Campbell stated that the school has a lease on a laneway on Lloyd Hutton's property for 20 years that will give access to the lot. Councillor Taylor wondered what would happen after 20 years, if they would be able to lease the property again or would it become again land Cocked? Council felt that the school representatives should obtain a severence for thelaneway, thus avoiding any future problems about access to the school proper- ty. Also that way they would be in accordance with the secondary plan of East Wawanosh and they would have clear title to their property. When council was asked if they would give a severance for the lanewaywithoutafightthey said they would. When the repre- sentatives of the school were asked if they would try to get a severance for the laneway to ensure continual access to their property and to comply with the secondary plan they did not comment. However they do plan to start construction on their school as soon as possible and will be applying for a building permit once a site plan has been drawn up and approved by the council. Two companies gave quotations on insurance costs for the township for 1986. Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. quoted a price of $11,065.00 with a $7 million liability limit and with an environmental hazzard clause. O.M.E. insurance quoted a price of $7,995.00 with $10 million liability clause but without pollution cover- age and no wrongful dismissal clause. Fred Meier felt that the chance of a costly spill or a lawsuit against the township over pollution from the sanitation site was not likely. Jim Taylor motioned that they accept the coverage offered by the O.M.E. Even so the cost of insurance for the township increas- ed by 80 per cent from the $4,400 paid last year. The appeal on the assessment of the Jackson drain was settled to the agreement of all parties involved. The net assessment, on Vaughn Toll was reduced by $1,000 with the township paying a sum of $500 more towards the costs with the remaining $500 being paid for by the other landowners who benefit from the drain in proportion to the amount of acreage they have drained by it. The tender for a new truck was accepted from Tolton Motors in Bluevalefor$7,345,itbeingthe lowest bid. Jim Snyder approached council on behalf of the Auburn and District Lions Club requesting a donation from council to help finish the food booth, and landscaping at the ball park in Auburn. Ray Hallahan motioned that council donate $750 toward their costs. It was seconded by Don Schultz. A building permit was approved for Gerald McDowell to construct a sow barn, 34 x 47 next to his existing barn. During the discus- sion the building inspector, Arnold Bruce, asked council if he should be inspecting any buildings that are being renovated. Jim Taylor felt that if they started doing that, they could be liable for any unseen structural flaw in the building and it was felt that it was best to leave inspections of renovations alone and to just worry about new buildings or additions. On the question of whether or not a donation should be given to the Blyth Festival, Fred Meier felt that since council supported them to get started they shouldn't be donating taxpayers money now, 10 years later. OnJan. 10, Wayne Caldwell and council met to discuss resolutions to the secondary plan regarding zoning. The council is drafting a copy which will be circulated to the ratepayers to get their feed back. A final draft of the zoning bylaws will thenbe drawn up and presented for approval. These zoning by-laws are a tool by which council can control land use and Mr. Caldwell felt it was necessary for council to proceed with them so as to have control over any disputes or problems in the townships. Reeve Snell questioned whether or not council should or could grant more severences in the township in order to keep a good tax base. Presently a severance can't be granted unless it's for 51 acres which in effect means there can be no severances in the township, even on properties distant from present farming operations or of any farms. Mr. Snell felt that something has to be done to increase the population in the township or else taxes are going to be too high. He also noted that in the past few years a number of farms have been sold with no one now living in the houses. Before long these houses will probably be razed, further reducing the tax base. He proposed that for every farm sold a severance be granted for the buildings. This suggestion did not meet with unanimous approval but all councillors agreed something should be done to help keep the population at least stable in the township.
