The second regular meeting of the
Municipality of Morris-Turnberry
was held Tuesday evening, May 15.
Byron Ellis, building inspector
informed council that nine permits
had been issued since the last council
meeting, with an addition of three
more permits received.
The municipality's renovations to
the council chambers were one of the
three. A permit for a Cover-all barn
was received, as well the
Underwoods are looking to add two
new silos.
Ellis told of a porch deck. being
built in Belgrave, without a permit.
He had left a note addressing the
infraction along with an application
for a permit. It was noted that the
construction had stopped.
An order to comply has been
issued at Lot 7, Conc. C in the
Turnberry Ward. The reason is that
ungraded lumber has been used.
Ellis explained that he had visited
the property and understands that the
wood had came from a chicken barn
that had been taken down. The
ungraded wood had been slipped in
with the graded lumber in order to
save money.
The owner of the property visited
with Ellis and insisted that he be
allowed to continue with the
building, without the grading. He
informed Ellis• that he intended to
insulate the walls, which would
cover the wood and prevent visual
proof of the ungraded wood. Ellis
put a `stop work' on the process in
full contravention.
Ellis contacted the licensed grader,
James Kipfer of Huron Pole and
Timber who has been given the go-
ahead to grade,the lumber on-site.
Further construction issues have
been raised about the building,
and has 45 families involved with
one and a half acres of 'garden
produce. He has used beneficial
insects to keep the parasitic ones in
check.
He also uses horses to do a lot
of the work. Every year two

Huron County Health Unit and
Spills Actions Centre.
By the following day, bottled
water had been hand-delivered
to the 37 homes which use
the McCrae' well. Residents
also received a letter of explanation.
A boil-water advisory was not issued
as dioxin is not eliminated by
however, the grading of the wood
will determine whether or not the
building process will continue.
Standards complaint
A previous property standards
complaint concerning the waste
disposal site situated at the north end
of Wingham was discussed by
council.
Council learned the owner has
agreed to put up a fence on the south
side of the property and plant trees at
the front and east side of the
property. He also has offered
assurance that no garbage would be
left in the trucks which are sitting at
the lot, to ensure that the smell and
rodents will not be an issue.
In connection to the waste disposal
site, a neighbor to the property
proposed that he may want to build a
legal-non-conforming building with
his II acres in order to change from
his livestock operation to a poultry
barn. If allowed, a nutrient
management plan will be required.
The matter is with the county.
Council will wait for further details.
- Court of Revision
Mayor Keith Johnston acted as
chairman and Councillor Jim
Nelemans was appointed by council
to sit on the court of revision for the
Bryce Municipal Drain. South Bruce
appointed Ken Scott.
Engineer Bill Dietrich, of W. E.
Kelley & Associates attended the
meeting, which only deals with
assessment disputes.
There was only one written appeal,
by Gordon Versteeg to be heard.
Versteeg, as the appellant asked that
his net assessment be reduced to
zero, which would be a reduction of
$1,796, and would have to be picked
up by another landowner.
After a brief discussion, the court
' members left the room to conclude
that Versteeg's appeal be denied.
After a 21 -day appeal time the

May 14, when ministry tests showed
that dioxin was non-detectable. A
letter of assurance was also given to

and passed to the Ontario Drainage
Tribunal.
Bluevale water concern
Bluevale resident Terry Matz
attended the meeting to ask, council
to consider allowing him to join on
with the well at the municipal office
for water.
Earlier this year, a number of
Bluevale residents learned they
would have to find their own water
source as the owners of a communal
well, which served 30 households,
had found new government
regulations too costly to continue to
offer the service.
The residents of Bluevale have
since had to independently find their
own water sources. However, Matz's
limited property space does not
provide many options for an
individual well.
Council has decided it would drill
its own well at the municipal office,
which will be offered for sale in the
near future. .
Matz was told to consult with a

A donation will be made to

Michie suspects the -poor test

Test results took two months

drilling his own well. If this is not a
an option, he may return with a letter
from the well drillers and talk to
council again.
He is set to return to the June 5
meeting.

A special meeting was held May 8
for a rezoning amendment meeting.
Jennifer Ball of the Huron County
Planning Department explained that
the. purpose was to change the
zoning on part of the north half of
Lot 2, Con. 6 in the Morris ward
'from general agriculture (AG 1) to

The rezoning is a condition of a
severance application. The area
involved is approximately 3.96
hectares or 9.8 acres.
No comments were received from
the applicants or from the public.
The County of Huron comments"
were received by a letter stating that
