Brussels Council briefs Recycling survey planned by council As part of Recycling week com­ ing up Nov. 20 to 26, Brussels village council will undertake a survey of homeowners it was decided at the Nov. 6 meeting of village council. The survey will seek answers as to how much people have reduced their output of garbage since recycling came into effect in the village last spring. Donna White, co-ordinator of the recycling pro­ gram for the village, received permission from council to under­ take a mailing to all village homes. * $ * * Council decided at its Nov. 6 meeting as to allow a zoning change on the property of Ross Smith at the west end of Thomas Street to allow him to create two building lots if he makes some changes. Since the street serving the properties is not the regulation 66 feet wide but is only 29 feet, servicing the area would be diffi­ cult. However council agreed that if Mr. Smith donated the land for a turning circle at the junction of the two lots at his own cost and brought the road up to the standard of the rest of the roadway, the zoning could be changed. Mr. Smith will provide the extension to the sewer line and pay for two hookups. Council had considered the pro­ blem at a special public meeting earlier in the evening at which Wayne Caldwell, of the Huron County Planning and Development office attended. Reeve Gordon Workman pointed out that since the width of the street was inade­ quate to meet the standards of the Ministry of Transport the village couldn’t receive subsidy to main- Melville WMS observes Remembrance Day The November meeting of Mel­ ville Women’s Missionary Society was held in the church parlor with nine members answering the roll call with a verse containing the word “peace’’.

Although Mr. Smith was willing to maintain the road himself at this time, council worr­ ied what might happen with a future owner of the property. Mr. Caldwell said the council had three options: 1. Deny the application for a zoning change; 2. Approve it without dealing with the problems raised by the inadequate street; or 3. Approve the change but with an agreement to be negotiated over the street. He said he had no objections about the change except to warn council of the possible problems down the road. Council eventually decided to offer Mr. Smith the zoning change provided an agreement could be reached on the turning circle and road improvements. In another development matter, Frank Stretton appeared before council about a development at the west end df the village off the old county road, north of Mill Street. The problem with the development relates to the ownership of the old roadway which the village has been maintaining since the 1950’s, he said. Hugh Hanly, clerk-treasurer said the county had passed a by-law in 1969 naming all the roadways under its jurisdiction so county officials feel that by exclu­ sion, the old roadway no longer belongs to the county. Mr. Stretton would like to deve­ lop the land in the area of his father’s house. He’s building a new home himself to the west of his father’s. The developers are willing to put the money up front to pay for sewers and water extension but feel since the street has been maintained by the village, street repairs should be a village respon­ sibility, he said. No action was taken on the matter at this point until the ownership of the road is determin­ ed. Brussels, Morris and Grey have agreed to share with the Brussels Agricultural Society, part of the costs of acquiring new land to add to the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre if a condition in the agreement with the landowner is changed.
