Going up
Workers erected the sign for the new recycling depot in
Morris township on County Road 16, west of Brussels. The
depot is for recyclable building material waste and will be
open for the time being by appointment only.
Recycling centre open by
appointment only at beginning
The sign for the new Central
Huron Recycling Centre in Morris
township on Country Road 16 was
erected last week.
Owner Dave Rapson, of RR3,
Brussels, said that the centre, which
is for the recycling of building
material waste, will be open in the
beginning by appointment only.
There will be a tipping fee for each
material processed with the price
being calculated per cubic yard.
Once scales are installed, however,
the fee will be calculated by the
ton.
"As long as open air burning is
legal in Huron County it will be
cheaper to dispose of your com
bustible waste by burning," said
Mr. Rapson. However, in most of
the surrounding counties, open air
burning is no longer legal so recy
cling wood waste is cheaper than
burying it and more environmental
ly fiiendly, due to the methane gas
problem associated with burying
wood, he explained.
"It is for that reason that we felt a
local recycling centre would be
good for local business, local resi
dents and the environment."

Davidson.
Several people from this district
spent the weekend in Frankenmuth,
Michigan when the Walton
Brewers ball team participated in a
tournament there and took in the
many sights at Bronner's Christmas
Wonderland.
Roy and Kathleen Williamson,
Bill and Marie Coutts, Viola
Kirkby, Pearl and Harold

Diane Corlett, daughter of Mrs.

Morris township council held a
committee of adjustment meeting
on July 21 with regards to Lot 30,
Cone. 9. Reeve Doug Fraser
declared a pecuniary interest as the
property is his.
Building inspector Leo Sanders
explained that an application for a
minor variance had been received
to reduce the sideyards. The resi
dence does not conform to the spot
zoning by-law, which states that the
setbacks were established by the
existing structure on the lot at the
time of the passing of the bylaw.
That residence was demolished in
March, 1991 and a new residence
was to be constructed.
The contractor applied for a
building permit, which was issued
in June of 1992. Mr. Sanders was
unaware of an infraction at that
time.
The residence, however, could
not be constructed as the existing
well and septic systems restricted
the placement of the residence. The
owners planned to sue th existing
septic system, but then were
advised by the Health Unit that the
septic system was not large enough
and a second septic tank was
added.
The applicant is applying for a
reduction of the east side yard of 16
feet and the west side yard at 12
feet. The problem is that a minor
variance is required and a building
permit has been issued.
The contractor, Doug Jackson of
Reid and Jackson was advised of
the problem and asked to stop
work. He asked if he could finish
the roof then the windows. During
inspection, Mr. Sanders found that
the basement had been studded. On
Monday, July 22, an order to com
ply was issued and a stop work
order posted until the matter of the
minor variance is rectified.
The committee refused Mr. Jack
son's request to fill in a hole in the
septic system, until the minor vari
ance has been received. He was
asked if timing was an issue and if
UCW caters to
Blyth Festival
Sunday morning at Duffs United
Church the worshippers were
greeted by Maxine Houston. This is
the last Sunday at the Walton-
Bluevale charge. Services will
resume Sept. 6 after the Rev.
Randy Banks month's holidays.
Anniversary services at Bluevale
United Church will be held on
Sept. 13 and Walton anniversary is
scheduled for Sept. 20.
The U.C.W. catered to a dinner at
the church on Saturday evening
when 107 people were fed prior to
the Blyth Festival Theatre.
that was why he continued to work
after being told not to. He replied
that timing was not a concern, but
the men were on the location on
July 17 and having no other work
to do worked in the basement.
After Mr. Jackson left the com
mittee made a motion that the same
distance factor be used to notify for
the minor variance notices as was
for the property rezoning.
Council expressed concern over
the legal liability of the township
and council's credibility. The town
ship solicitor had advised that had
the contractor stopped work volun
tarily, then a stop work order would
not have been necessary. That was,
however, not the case.
The minor variance application
was accepted and mailed to the
required landowners and agencies.
The hearing is for August 4.
Reeve Fraser returned to the
meeting at this time and asked
council if they would prefer he
vacate his seat until the matter is
settled. They advised that was not
necessary.
During the regular meeting a
grant was approved for the Blue
vale Cemetery in the amount of
$1500 for the restoration of head
stones.
Building permits were issued to:
Irwin and Arnold Pease, Lot 9,
Cone. 6, mobile home and a demo
