Blyth council ponders
right-of-way problem

Doug Scrimgeour, Rob Lawrie and
Gerald Kerr and Clerk-Treasurer
John Stewart will attend the Oct.
24, Who Does What meeting at the
Huron County Museum, Goderich.
A bylaw was passed to change
the zoning of Lot 89, Plan 168,
from future development to resi
dential low density special and Lot
88, Plan 68 from future develop
ment to residential low density.
Village Foreman John Rinn told
council the winch used to install
and remove the sander from the vil
lage truck was quite old and unsafe.
A new electric winch would cost
approximately $2,000.
Councillor Lawrie said the road
committee would look into the situ
ation.
Chief Building Official Paul
Josling attended the meeting to dis
cuss a building permit application
from Alex Blair.
Blair planned to build a garage
on his property. However, a 16.5
foot right-of-way runs along his
property from the back alley to
Gypsy Lane. A right-of-way
requires a 25-metre setback instead
of the one metre from a property
line.
Council suggested Josling con
tact the Huron County Planning
Department to determine if his sug
gestion of a minor variance would
solve the problem.
To close the right-of-way might
be too expensive as all the affected
property owners would need to
acquire new surveys, Josling said.
