HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 1994-03-09, Page 19Colborne passes rezoning The Colborne Twp. council held its regular meeting on March 1 at the Colborne Township Comm­ unity Hall. A by-law to change the zoning on the Benmiller Heights Subdivision from Village Residen­ tial (Medium Density)-Special (VR2-1) and Open Space-Parkland (OS 2) to Village Residential (Low Density) (VR1) was passed. The zoning change was requested by Jeff Fisher and Hugh Burgsma who wish to develop the property with single family dwellings. Council accepted the recom­ mendation of the Planning Advisory Committee to defer a decision on the Official Plan Amendment application of Ernie and Sharon Marshall. The applicants have requested a change to the Official Plan to permit rural residential development on their property at Part Lot 8, Cone. 8. The bills and accounts for the month ending Feb. 28 in the total amount of $43,984.27 as supported by the appropriate invoices were approved for payment. Council has been informed that the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation has approved the Township's application for the 1993 Recreation Assistance for Small Communities Grant in the amount of $5,000. Township Softball Registration will take place at the Community Hall on Thursday, March 26, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 28, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Clerk John Stewart will attend the Municipal Election Seminar, April 6 in Guelph and approved payment of the registration fee in the total amount of $90.95 GST included. Council instructed the clerk to advise the Huron County Planning and Development Department that the township was in favour of the formation of a committee involving the Town of Goderich and Townships of Goderich and Colborne to discuss inter-municipal concerns. The next regularly scheduled council meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 15, at 8 p.m. at the Colborne Township Community Hall.

County Council briefs Courthouse renovations a top priority Major renovations to allow hand­ icapped access to the Huron Coun­ ty court house will be the number one priority for the federal and provincial funds available under a program to stimulate employment while supporting infrastructure. All told the renovations were estimated to cost $1.7 million, $400,000 for access for the handi­ capped and $1.3 million for other renovations. Plans may be scaled back somewhat to allow the recon­ struction of County Road 7 through Howick Township under the same grant. That was originally budgeted at $1.6 million. The county has been allotted $2,873,787 under the infrastructure program, of which the county's share is $957,929. *** Because of his experience in the renovation and construction of the Huron County Museum, Claus Breede, director/curator has been named the project manager for the renovation of the old Huronview building. That renovation, funded by a jobsOntario grant, will see some parts of the old building demolished while other portions are renovated for office space for the library and health unit. *** County councillors will hold a strategic planning day, open to any member of die public, at the Ben- miller Inn on Friday, April 8, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The Strate­ gic Planning Committee looks at ways to make the county more effi­ cient. *** There will be no reprieve for Goderich Municipal Airport from county grant reductions. County councillors backed a decision by the Administration, Finance and Personnel Committee to keep the plan to reduce grants to bodies such as the airport, Vanastra Recreation Centre and Blyth Festival by one third from the 1993 levels. By 1996 all grants are scheduled to be phased out. Goderich officials had made a presentation to the committee ask­ ing for reconsideration. Last month several councillors, including Blyth Reeve Dave Lee, warned that if the airport was given special considera­ tion, they would be asking for the same consideration for facilities in their municipalities.

Brown notes change Continued from page 15 wish to cancel their insurance on any crops must do so by April 1, otherwise they will be insured and required to pay the required premium. Mr. Brown also noted that one change in program delivery requires that farmers fill out their own Final Acreage Reports after planting. "This will streamline the administration of the program because the exchange of information will be directly between clients and head office. The turnaround time to process these forms will be significantly reduced, resulting in both cost savings and faster processing of claim payments." District co-ordinators have recently been appointed to help producers with all aspects of their crop insurance plans. The streamlined administration of the program will allow the new district co-ordinators to devote their lime to customer service. "The district co-ordinator positions were created as part of the Crop Insurance Commission's restructuring of field delivery," said Mr. Brown. "We're excited about the changes, as they will reduce costs and at the same time enhance customer services in the field. This demonstrates the government's long-term commitment to providing efficient crop insurance programs to Ontario producers." Most of the district co-ordinator positions have been filled. Those that have not will be filled prior to May 1. Any questions regarding enrolment in the Crop Insurance Program should be addressed to the farmer's local crop insurance district co-ordinator. Where a position is still vacant, insured or uninsured producers should contact their local OMAF field office or the Crop Insurance Commission at (416) 326-3276 with any questions.
