Busy weekend for firefighters
Property owner served notice by North Huron council
By Margaret Stapleton
Wingham Advance-Times
North Huron council has given a
Wingham property owner two weeks
to come up with an agreement as
ordered by the Ontario Municipal
Board close to two years ago or the
township will commence legal
action.
Wayne Colclough, whose Centre
Street property was the subject of an
OMB hearing three years ago and a
continuation hearing in 1999, was
issued a written notice after last
Tuesday's first September meeting
of council.
Brian Treble of the Huron County
Planning and Development
Department repotted to council last
week that he had been in touch with
the OMB over the file. One agree-
ment attached to the decision has not
been signed.
The OMB may agree to come in
and assist to enforce the decision,
said Treble, adding that the chairman
who heard the case has retired and
he didn't know if he would come
back to hear it again or a new chair-
man would be appointed. Treble
estimated it could be three or four
months or longer before the OMB
might return.
The outstanding issue concerns
drainage. A plan was submitted ear-
lier, which Colclough deemed as too
costly, _said Treble. Subsequent
attempts to come up with another
option to satisfy Colclough and rep-
resentatives of the neighboring St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church have
been unsuccessful. A site meeting
was held last month, but a second
meeting was cancelled by
Colclough, council heard.
Clerk Administrator John Stewart
said the OMB might be willing to
amend its decision if the parties
could reach an agreement, but he
admitted he was not sure it would
work.
Reeve Doug Layton said he won-
dered if it might be worthwhile to
bring the OMB back to town, but
others were not so sure if ?Fiat was
the right route.
Treble said he had been talking to
the county solicitor who advised that
council should commence court pro-
ceedings.
"The bottom line is, he
(Colclough) thinks he's getting away
with this. He is bound by the court
decision. Court is the only avenue,"
said Treble.
Councillor Archie MacGowan
said Colclough is in contravention of
the original bylaw as he has more
units than are allowed at his Centre
Street property.
"Wayne wants to have his cake
and eat it too. He doesn't want to
spend the money, but he wants the
extra units," said Treble.
Finally, council decided to give
the parties 14 days to come to an
agreement or court action would be
commenced. s
Severance Proposal
Frank and Isabel Burke attended
the meeting to discuss a proposal to
sever a property they purchased at
the corner of Boland and Catherine
streets.
Frank Burke told council he had
purchased the property in the spring.
He is now proposing to sever it to
create two lots of 66 x 68 feet each
and would construct a new home on
the bare lot.
Stewart reported that under the
proposal, two undersized lots would
be created. Because of the reduced
setbacks, the couple would also have
to apply for a rezoning. Although the
county deals with land severances,
Stewart explained, the Burkes were
attending the council meeting to get
members' feeling about the propos-
al. -
Councillor Jeff Howson said he
did not foresee a problem with the
Burkes proceeding to the next step,
which is, applying for a severance.
However, later in the meeting
Treble said he believed the couple
faces "an uphill battle" over the pro-
posal. The lot sizes are deficient,
said Treble and after a review of lots
in the area, he foUnd only three the
size the Burkes are proposing, even
though two are across the street from
their property.
Because of the size of the lotS, the
Burkes would be restricted as to the
size of a house they could build and
would have no backyard, according
to Treble.
However, if they still wish to pro-
ceed, Treble suggested that the
Burkes talk to their neighbors to see
if there are any objections prior to
applying for a severance. If the local
neighborhood doesn't have a prob-
lem with the proposal, said Treble,
the county might allow it, but it
almost certain4 would not be
allowed if there were opposition.
"The corner lot is grown up in
weeds," said Layton. "It would be
better to have a small house there
and get some taxes."
Howson suggested that the Burkes
be contacted and given their options
for the next step.
Tax Billing
Stewart reported that the finance
and treasury department was work-
ing on preparing final tax notices for
ratepayers.
"Getting the information entered
(on the software) is an onerous
task," said Stewart, who predicted
there will be "quite a package" to go
out to households as required by the
province, which certainly will mean
increased postage for the municipal-
ity.
Rezoning
Treble reported on a rezoning pro-
posal in the East Wawanosh ward of
the municipality.
Property owner Don McKay was
proposing to rezone his property
along County Road 86 west of
Wingham to A2-Special from A2 to
permit the construction of a resi-
dence on the property.
Treble said at issue is whether or
not just a small portion should be
rezoned, where the house would be
built, or the whole property. The
planner suggested that the munici-
pality should be looking at the future
development of those lands along
County Road 86. However, Treble
said he did not know what future
plans McKay has for the property.
although any subdivision develop-
ment probably would require full
services.
Municipal staff are to go over the
rezoning proposal with McKay and
report,back.

County Road Watch has been put on
