However, Mr. Caldwell informed Council that they could leave the by-law as it stands and the planting strip would then be incorporated or they can remove the by-law. He questioned Mr. Lawrie as to whe­ ther or not the set back could be reduced and was told that that would be physically impossible to do. Mrs. Draper stated that if she has to have the building next to her, she would prefer grass. “Reeve Workman said, “It’s unfortunate that this is the ideal spot, but I can guarantee it won’t be unsightly and the people in it won’t be troublemakers.” Responding to a comment that it would certainly be better than when the arena was next to her, Mrs. Draper said, “I never minded the arena. Maybe, I’m strange, but it was one thing to have an arena next door that was used occasion­ ally on a weekend. You are talking about 12 families coming and going.” Councillor Bruce Hahn said that he could see Mrs. Draper’s point. “I’m sure that if you are used to having open space next door and someone wants to build something like this next to you any one of us would question it. But, I think it’s an ideal spot. That’s not to say that if it were going to be next door to me I wouldn’t question it, but it doesn’t mean I’d oppose it. It happens,” he said. Others present at the meeting stated that they wanted to make sure that the tennis courts were gong to be relocated not removed. “For my part, I just wanted to know that the town was planning on putting them somewhere,” said Wayne Lowe, who was one of the people to get the courts built. “I put a lot of sweat into getting them and I want to see that they will be placed somewhere.” Clerk Hugh Hanly stated that the price the two lots are being sold for is $40,000 which more than covers the cost of moving the tennis courts, which is estimated at $15,000 to $20,000. Someone questioned whether or not the courts were ever used for tennis, to which Mrs. Draper responded, saying more often than has been suggested in the past. Mr. Hahn said that that didn’t matter as theywould be replaced regardless. Jack Bryans, another ratepayer agreed, “The idea should be that the town doesn’t need less, it needs more.” Reeve Workman also backed this up saying that he has said from the start that if this deal should go through it was only if the tennis courts were to be rebuilt on another site. “1 always said it has to go back. But, the important thing is that the idea of the town and Council is to get revenue into Brussels." For the most part the opinions were positive towards the proposal. Ron Clarkson, who is currently working on a housing project of his own with Keith Mulvey said he thinks it will be really great for Brussels. Jack Bryans stated that this “fills a need for the town”. But, Mrs. Draper said what about the needs of young people in the village. “Don’t you think they need alternatives for housing when they are starting out?” she queried. In reply. Councillor Dave Hast­ ings pointed out that while that may be a fact the unfortunate thing is that cheap, affordable housing, is just not financially feasible. “You can’t build them on that level. To contract a low rental unit I guarantee you wouldn’t want it beside you. I have talked to various contractors and you just can’t do it - it’s too bad but you can’t.” Mr. Lawrie noted that the turn­ over with young people is far greater and so is the upkeep for the building. Rentals to young families have to be higher, about $750 - $800 monthly. “It’s just one of the things in life,” he stated. Mr. Hanly informed the Council­ lors that he had received only one letter at the office against the proposed re-zoning and will be giving a copy of the letter to Mr. Caldwell for his information. There was, according to Mr. Hanly, nothing stated specifically, the party just didn’t want to see it happen. Reeve Workman asked Mrs. Draper if there was anything they could do to make the situation more agreeable for her to which she responded quietly, but negatively. “There is nothing. I don’t want it there, that’s all. I know it’s good for the town but I’m just voicing my opinion.” Mr. Caldwell then stated to Council that it was incumbent upon them to realize that they are dealing with the rights of property owners. He explained the process that would follow and the rights and options any opposed have. Should the village decide to pro­ ceed this would then go to the Planning Department for approval. If the amendment is approved there it then goes to County Council and if the village is then to adopt the zoning by-law a letter must be circulated, according to Mr. Caldwell, to any property owner within 400 feet of the site. “There is a 20-day appeal so people have rights they can exer­ cise within this time frame,” he said.
