Brussels council briefs
Council won't bend on rules
Brussels Council Monday night
refused a request for a minor
variance that would have allowed a
homebuilder to encroach on the
five-foot side lot limit in the
village’s zoning by-law.
The proposal from the home
builder vas to allow the house to
come within four feet of the
property line with one side of the
building being an open car-port,
but councillors unanimously
agreed they didn’t want to start
ignoring its own by-law already.

several more visits to town in the
coming weeks to patrol the streets
and pick up dogs running at large.
The company made two visits to
