proposed change. Ms. Fisher said
she felt her department would
support the change in zoning
because it wouldn’t have any more
impact on the farmers than was
already there because of other
residential land in the area. She
said there is plenty of highway
commercial property available in
Blyth so the loss of these two lots
shouldn’t be serious.
Council voted unanimously to
recommend the change which must
be approved by the county plann
ing committee and the County
Council.
Later in the meeting, however,
Steven Webster appeared before
council to seek council’s support to
have the portion of the Webster
farm that is in the village, annexed
to Morris township. He said his
family was willing to pay the legal
costs involved and Morris was

family and friends of Dan and Anne
Mclnnes gathered at the Blyth
United Church Parlour to an Open
House in honour of their 40th

Mould, now of Burlington. The
bridesmaid was Mae (Baker) Fugl-
sang who was present on Sunday.
The best man was the late William
Mclnnes.
Dan and Anne welcomed many
guests from a wide area who came
to congratulate them and to wish
them the best in the years to come.

willing to go ahead with the
annexation if Blyth was willing.
He explained that part of the
Webster farm is within the village
limits and has been designated for
residential use. It is this land, he
said, that is blocking expansion of
the farming operation. If the Web
ster land wasn’t designated as
residential land, the family would
comply with the Code of Practice.
He said that unlike what Ms.
Fisher had said, he understood
there was unlikely to be a reduction
in the Code requirements to let the
building go ahead.
Councillor Stephen Sparling said
that annexing the land into Morris
was almost dealing away the future
of the village. “Realistically, there
aren’t many places for the village
to grow,’’ he said.
Councillors agreed they wanted
to learn more about just what the

permit application was before pro
ceeding any further. They pointed
out to Mr. Webster that by losing
the residential designation he was
throwing away a potential for
income if he ever wanted to sell the
land to a developer.
Mr. Webster agreed not to
proceed further on the annexation
proposal for the time being but said
he was going to be applying for a
change in the zoning of the
property so that it could revert back
to an agricultural designation.
