Blyth council, Reformed Church cooperate on parking lot
Co-operation between the village
of Blyth and the Blyth Christian
Reformed Church may bring some
relief to the parking shortage on
Blyth’s Main street.
Henry Exel, one of the elders of
the church, showed councillors at
the April 14 council meeting plans
for an expanded parking lot next to
the church on the east side of
Queen St. The Church has pur
chased a house on King St. and will
expand the parking lot it currently
has to make room for more off-
street parking. The house will
remain for the current time.
Mr. Exel explained the church
would be happy to make the
parking lot available for public
parking at all times but Sunday
church services in exchange for the
village carrying out snow removal
and maintenance of the lot.
Cindy Fisher, the village’s plan
ner with the Huron County Plann
ing Department said her depart
ment’s only concern with the
parking lot would be that there was
adequate buffering from the sur
rounding neighbours and that the
neighbours be consulted about the
plans.
Mr. Exel said the church was
concerned with the problems and
was discussing planting a hedge to
shield the neighbours from the lot.
A hedge was favoured because it
didn’t require as much mainten
ance, he said. Councillor Ken
Brown agreed that a fence might
take away from the neighbourhood.
He said people in the neighbour
hood had expressed concern that
the parking lot be well organized
and not be a place that would cause
problems.
Council asked Mr. Exel to try to
set up a meeting with the neigh
bours and inform council of its time
and location.
