County faces OMB appeal

The plan for a beef processing
plant in Brussels hit a bit of a
stumbling block this week.
The federal government did not
support the proposal, so there will be
no second stage funding. Huron East
mayor Joe Seili said, "They feel
more capacity is not needed at this
time.

The number of tragedies in the
area this year, has prompted the
formation of a committee and the
organization of an evening session
on grief.
The information was presented to
North Huron council at its Monday
night meeting, along with a request
for a donation to offset the costs of
the session which will be free to the
public.
"It is our hope this session will
help the many families in our
communities who have recently or
in the past, dealt with the tragedy of
losing a loved one," the committee
stated in a letter to council.
Reeve Doug Layton agreed that
the session could be of benefit to a
number of people, and asked council
to consider a donation.
A motion passed to give $200 to
the committee.
now, the government did not take
into consideration the foreign
market potential. "They were using
the United States as foreign, not any
other countries."
The steering committee met
earlier this week to discuss the issue.
While the government's lack of
suppeift has caused a minor setback,
the plan is not dead yet, said Seili.
The next step is to look at those
other countries. "We will approach
the foreign markets to see if they are
interested in investing."
The guest speaker for the session,
which will be held at Teeswater
Culross Complex, Oct. 12 is Kelly
Walker. He is an author, therapist,
storyteller and musician. His topic
will be Grief - From Dark Despair to
New Beginnings. In this he will
explore the dynamics of gnef, the
feelings that normally accompany
loss through death and the mystery
of inner re-adjustment that is part of
the process,

Beef processing
plant hits
stumbling block
North Huron council
gives to grief session
By Keith Roulson
Citizen publisher
By taking its time trying to try to
bring agreement between developers
of a proposed Bayfield subdivision
and upset neighbours, the Huron
County now faces an Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB) hearing.
County councillors were told at
their Sept. 7 meeting that Bayfield
Meadows Inc. has filed a notice of
appeal to the OMB arguing that the
Municipality of Bluewater had not
made a decision within 120 days of
receiving the application to rezone in
order to build 31 single detached
homes and 12 four-unit town houses.
"It has been an extremely
contentious file," explained Scott
Tousaw, director of planning. "There
is still considerable opposition (to
the subdivision). We're .hoping to
avert a hearing."
In background information
circulated to the planning,
agnculture and public works
committee, it was noted there had
been three public meetings and 100
letters had been submitted over the
proposed development. Concerns
included density, lot size, the
appropriateness of multi-family
dwellings, traffic and storm water
concerns, compatibility with
Bayfield's historic character and

lack of green space.
If the issue goes to an OMB
hearing, wondered Goderich
councillor Deb Shewfelt, which side
would the county defend?
But Tousaw explained that
because this issue has been taken to
the OMB before a local decision is
made, it would take the decision-
making out of the hands of the local
councils and place it in the hands of
the OMB,
The efforts to find a solution
would continue -as it always does
when an appeal is lodged, Tousaw
promised.
"If we can come up with new
processes that the neighbours and
the applicant agree on then the
appeal will be withdrawn."
