Brussels council moves against properties
Continued from page 1
against one homeowner who has
failed to comply with repeated
requests to clean up his property.
Action against others may also be
begun soon.
Council has threatened action
before but always stopped at
threats, Councillor Ruth Sauve
said, and now it was time to take
things one step further. Mr. Hanly
said it was a long drawn-out
procedure to take action but if
charges result, the property owner
can be hit with fines of $500 per day
for every day of non compliance.
The property in question has been
the source of complaints from
neighbours because of unused
vehicles and kitchen appliances.
Another property which has a
number of cars in various states of
repair was als_o considered for
action. “The zoning by-law clearly
states whatyou can have on the
property,’’ Mr. Hanly said. The
property in question is zoned
residential and “that definitely
does not include a wrecking y ard. ”
Both owners will be served with
notice of the action being under
taken under the property stan
dards bylaw.
*****
Council agreed to invite tenders
on the paving of parts of John and
Princess Streets and a small
section of James Street to connect
the current pavement with new
sidewalks planned. Council agreed
tobuild new sidewalks on one block
ofJohnS reetand part of James
Street to help prevent water
running off the roadway onto
private property in that area. If
there is enough money left after the
work is done a second block of John
will be considered.
*****
Councillors were informed that
they can now sign registration
forms to declare themselves can
didates for the November munici
pal elections. Nobody jumped at
the chance.
Councillor Sauve pointed out
that the registration allowed
people to go out and raise money
for their election campaigns but
she warned, tongue in cheek, that
those who had more than $10,000
in donations had to have an auditor
go over their books. “Oh shoot,”
Reeve Workman said straight
faced, “I’ll have to get a computer
to make sure everybody gets a
receipt (for their campaign dona
tion)”.*****
The Opportunity Tour which
brings investors from Great Britain
to look at investment opportunities
in Huron and several other south
western Ontario counties, will pay
a quick visit to Brussels September
13. The visitors will geta quick bus
tour of Brussels and get copies of
the new Brussels, Morris and Grey
Industrial brochures but council is
becoming increasingly worried
that the visitors will not see the roadway into the park and there is
village’s industrial park. Currently no word yet of plans by the owners
a building still sits on part of the to move it.
