Mobile home park proposal gets no opposition
An official plan amendment to
allow a proposed 16-lot mobile
home park on the site of the old
Cousins Creamery met no opposi
tion at a public meeting April 5 in
Brussels.
The meeting, which took place
prior to the regular village council
meeting, saw only three neighbours
present as well as developer James
County Council briefs
Gravel hauling increases traffic
Kerr. They wanted to make sure
that a promise that a neighbour
hood drain would be moved was
kept. That drain had run down the
vacant street allowance for Queen
St. which was closed earlier to
allow redesigning of the mobile
home park. A new street will be
created within the development to
serve the lots.
There was considerable discus-_
sion as to whether to move the old
drain, which would now be under
some of the homes, to the new
street or to the back of the lots. Mr.
Kerr and the neighbours felt it
would be best at the back of the
lots.
Mr. Kerr also questioned a provi
sion in the zoning change bylaw
that would have restricted the use
of double-wide mobile homes to
only two of the lots. It's quite possi
ble, he said, for a large single-wide
home, with a permitted addition,
would be considerably bigger than
a double-wide. More double-wides
would add visual variety to the pro
ject, he argued. Village councillors
agreed and recommended to county
planner Brian Treble that more
double-wides be allowed.
Council also passed a by-law dis
solving the old lot lines on the
property so that it is now one parcel
and cannot be sold without a plan
of subdivision being prepared. The
land will remain in the hands of the
developer, with residents owning
their own homes but renting the lot.

Car starts
on fire
in Blyth
Blyth firefighters were called out
to two area fires this past weekend.
On Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
they were called to the home of
Tom Cheverie, John St., Auburn.
Fire Chief Paul Josling said a child
at home had seen creosote leaking
from the chimney and had become
frightened. There was no damage.
At 4:35 a.m. Sunday morning, a
truck caught fire after backfiring
and stalling on Morris St., Blyth. A
resident called it in.
Chief Josling said the fire was
caused when the motor overheated
and started the carburetor on fire.
The car was totalled.

Mr. Merrall was explaining the
support of the Agriculture and Pub
lic Works Committee for a resolu
tion from Wellington County that
would see a four cent per tonne
levy on gravel removal, currently
applied only to local municipalities,
extended to counties and regions as
well. Wellington argues that some
counties bear a heavy burden of
traffic hauling gravel to other parts
of the province.
Mr. Merrall pointed out that Mid
dlesex will soon be out of gravel
and Huron is likely to see much
more traffic hauling gravel from
the northern part of the county to
London.
Council supported the Welling
ton proposal.♦♦♦
A needs study for the county
highway system showed the
improvements needed reached
$48,087,000 in 1993, up from
$47,680,000 in 1992. While the
needs for road construction and
road resurfacing each dropped by
nearly $1.5 million, needed bridge
repairs increased from $6,596,000
to $10,042,000. Mr. Merrall point
ed out that the county has 103
bridges, many of which are old
enough they need repairs. Howev
er, he said, the Jamestown Bridge,
north of Brussels on County Road
12, shows how repairs can give
bridges a much longer life.
Because of decreased asphalt
prices, the county was able to
resurface more kilometers of road
in 1993 than in 1992. The major
road rebuilding project of the year
was 9.1 kilometers of County road
20ini West Wawanosh. Construc
tion will proceed to the portion of
the road through East Wawanosh
this summer.
It's likely that the next round of
candidate sites for a Huron County
landfill will be announced at the
April 28 meeting of council, Gary
Davidson, director of planning and
development, told council. Current
ly, he said, six sites seem to have
potential and water well records for
the surrounding properties are
being checked. The location of the
sites will be kept secret until they

Criteria for selecting a site had to
