Brussels Council briefs No zoning fee increase for village residents Brussels residents will not face the large increase for zoning changes recommended by the Huron County Planning Depart­ ment, village councillors decided at their February meeting. After looking at the fee structure adopted by surrounding municipali­ ties, councillors decided to adopt the same structure as Grey Town­ ship. It means that those seeking a zoning change will pay $775 while those needing a minor variance will pay $500. Of the $775 zoning 22 attend change application fee, $371 will go to the county. Most of the rest will cover the costs of advertising proposed zoning changes. The county had earlier recommended a $1,000 fee for zoning changes. Of the minor variance application fee, $174 will go to the county. *♦* The high cost of this record-set- ting winter was brought home to councillors when they got the snow removal bill for January. The bill for the contractor for snow plowing Majestic was $5,729.85 for the month, with more than 88 hours of plowing done. In addition village employees have been kept busy and heavy use brought repairs to the town snow­ blower. *** Reeve Gordon Workman was , absent for the meeting. He was at the Rural Ontario Municipal Asso­ ciation meeting in Toronto *** meeting Councillor Mary Stretton said the Brussels, Morris and Grey recre­ ation committee's budget has not been approved yet, but it may con­ tain good news for area taxpayers. It appears, she said, that there will be no increase, and perhaps even a small decrease, in the levy to the three municipalities. *** Council agreed to try to straight­ en out a problem involving owner­ ship of a tiny strip of land that goes back more than 60 years. Clerk-Treasurer Donna White explained that the sliver of land under the old Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce building, only a few inches wide, had been sold by the village in 1933 but the legal description was not proper, so there was trouble transferring the deed to the new owner of the building. Twenty-two ladies attended the Majestic Women's Institute meet­ ing on Feb. 9 in the Brussels Library. The president, Ruth Bauer opened the meeting. Correspondence included the upcoming course through the Huron-Perth Educational Commit­ tee.
