FROM BRUSSELS
Council
rezones
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen staff
Brussels council at its May I
meeting approved the re-zoning
which would see a vacant chicken
bam at the north end of the village
converted into a storage/warehouse.
Brian Treble of the Huron Coun
ty Planning Department was pre
sent to explain the rezoning to
council. Because the building had
been empty for so long, it didn’t
even meet the non-conforming part
of the bylaw, he said.
“Basically the zoning now
doesn’t allow for anything but a
building.” he said.
The bylaw would attempt to rec
ognize the conversion of the build
ing and a reduction in the setback.
Treble said he and Clerk-Trea
surer Donna White had also dis
cussed including the allowance for
an upholstery shop or furniture
refinishing business.
There were no members of the
public present and no correspon
dence had been received to date
regarding the rezoning. In accor
dance with the Act, letters were
sent to everyone within 400 feet of
the building as well as to local
authorities. White said with the
exception of one person, the build
ing owner had contacted all the
neighbours to explain his plans.
Treble suggested the bylaw also
include something to protect the
village from some day having to
service the lot. “There should be
something in place so you’re not
paying down the road,” he said.
“The bylaw gives you a way of
making it happen that they don’t
get a building permit until there's
an agreement about servicing.”
Though the owner can proceed
with demolition, no building permit
can be issued until after the appeal
period, which ends May 23.
“The idea is to move away from
agriculture in urban density,” said
White. “This chicken barn would
certainly no longer be allowed."

The greens of spring are getting
greener and more impressive with
each warm day. Just take that extra
moment to admire the growth of
the season. Now you can grumble
and get the lawn mower out.
The United Church
humming on Sunday as
joined the church, babies
baptized and friends transferred
into the Brussels church life. Rev.
Richard Golden of Monkton
officiated at this celebration, as
family and friends witnessed this
new step of life for Lorelei Coultes,
Tina Grummett, Catherine Goetz,
Mark Coultes and Rod Ward. Brian
and Suzanne Wheeler brought
Ashley, Tanya and Brian McArter
came with Avery, Lorelei and Mark
Coultes offered Teaghan and Tina
Grummett and Rod Ward brought
Mitchell and Gregory for baptism
into the United Church. Jacob Van
Beek, son of Lorelei and Martin
chose to be baptized on Sunday.
F. E. Madill students spent last
week in Chicago as part of the
concert or Jazz Bands and were
ready to compete in the Ovations
Music Festival of Illinois. You’ll
see the Brussels ones still looking
bleary from the long fun-filled days
- Crystal McLellan, Laurie Prior,
Joshua Gropp and Nicole White.
I’m sure they made lots of
memories! (Joshua’s ‘close shave’
has left his Mom with something
she wont’ forget).
Ask some of the coffee shop
crowd about the soccer teams of
days past and about the lights that
surrounded the park, officially
known as Market Square. It’s not a
new thing, soccer mania, so
encourage the teams as they start
their practise and offer to help if
you’re able.
Take a walk and enjoy May.
