concerns councillors
Concerns over a lack of provision
for storm drains in a proposed
Blyth subdivision will be expressed
to the Huron County Planning and
Development department by Blyth
Village Council.
Councillors examined the plans
for the north-end subdivision of
John and Joan VanDenAssem at
their regular meeting Wednesday
night and expressed concern over
the lack of drainage. The concern
will be forwarded to the planning
department.
Councillors also expressed con

if some things might not get as full
a discussion as they should because
of time limits.
Councillor Sparling said the idea
of two meetings wasn’t what
bothered him. “What I’m offended
by is the insinuation we’re not
doing our jobs. I’m really hurt by
that.”
Reeve Albert Wasson said that if
people were making that accusa
tion he’d like to have the names of
the people who complained.
Councillor Lee said he wasn’t
saying people had made the accu
sation, just that council was open to
the charge if all meetings aren’t
open to the public and advertised.
Reeve Albert Wasson said all he
knew was that the council of five
years ago could have been through
the agenda before them this night
and been on the way home. “I
don’t like having meetings just
because it has come upon the
calendar,” he said. If council does
go to a second meeting he felt
councillors should forfeit the $45
they get for special meetings, he
said. Councillor Lee said it would
cern over the size of some lots in
the proposed subdivision but on
checking the zoning by-law found
the lots exceeded the minimum lot
size by nearly 50 per cent. Reeve
Albert Wasson said the lots are
about 25 per cent smaller than a
normal lot in the older part of town
but that council can’t dictate the
size of lots except that they meet
the zoning bylaw requirements.
Councillor Dave Lee agreed say
ing “I don’t think we have the right
to express concern (to the Planning
Department) over lot size.’’
be part of his proposal to look at
changing the yearly stipend council
gets.
Helen Grubb, Clerk-Treasurer
pointed out that such changes
would require changing the proce
dural bylaw of the council.
Councillor Brown said that the
advantage of having twice-monthly
meetings would be to let council
lors keep in closer touch with each
other and with the issues. He
wondered if the regular meeting
could be scheduled as usual but a
special meeting set up for two
weeks later. Mrs. Grubb said that
perhaps council could choose to
publicize special meetings.
But Reeve Wasson was still
angry about the idea council had
something to hide. “I’m sick and
tired of hearing about hiding
things,” he said.
Councillor Sparling said he
couldn’t make a decision on some
thing too important to the way
council functioned on such short
notice. At which time Councillor
Lee said he would give notice that
he planned to make the motion at
the February meeting of council
