COUflcifl�rs will amend amendment GORRIE — A bylaw passed by Howick Township Council last month will be amended to prevent How- ick's building inspector from being "driven around the bend." The bylaw, an amendment to the township's 1980 building bylaw, states that homeowners who want to renovate their homes for less than $1000 and affecting no structural changes need a permit. Sunrise service BELGRAVE — The sanctuary of Knox United Church was tastefully decorated with Easter lilies for .;the sunrise service on Easter morning. A large congregation was in attendance when the Youth Group members con- ducted the service under the leadership. of Rev, and Mrs. John G. Roberts. Following the service ap- proximately 90 persons en- joyed a hearty breakfast in the church schoolroom. This would mean home- ...... . owners would need a permit to do something as simple as paint or wallpaper a room in their house. Already the township's building inspector, Wray Wilson, has had calls about it and he says,"We're going to get a lot of inquiries from people who just.,want to put panelling up." Coun. Norm Fairies said, "Wray's going to be driven around the bend with people who want to drive a half dozen nails into the wall." "I don't know if it was an oversight on my part or an oversight on your part," said Mr. Wilson at the April 3 meeting of Howick council. "That's not what I thought the bylaw was going to read, but that's how it reads." He told the councillors if they were goi`ng' to change the bylaw, he'd like it done fairly soon. The councillors will likely pass the amendment at an upcoming special meeting so renovations under $1000 and affecting no structural changes will not require a permit while renovations that do affect structural changes. will E. Wawanosh ,Cauncif No increase scheduled for township mill rate in '85 There will be no increase in the township's portion of the 1985 property taxes or in the county's share, East Wawanosh.council members were told at a meeting last Tuesday. Reeve Neil Vincent at- tributed the zero per cent township tax increase to a $16,659 surplus from 1984. Also the township has postponed indefinitely its plans to replace the Tenth Line Bridge, meaning East Wawanosh will not have that large expenditure this year. The reeve said a surplus was realized because council stuck close to its 1984 budget and he praised Clerk - Treasurer Winona Thomp- son for 'jgood management" of the township money. Council still has not received any word from the public and separate school boards of education regarding their 1985 in- creases. In other- business at last week's meeting council met with Bob Dempsey, Huron County road engineer, con- cerning the gravel pit on the south half of Lot 30, Con. 3. Last year the township waived a 100 -foot set -back requirement so the county could get gravel out of the pit. However a portion of the road next to the pit had to be closed as 'it had become undermined and there was a danger of it sliding. Last November the county started crushing at the -pit again and, according to Mr. Vincent, the township road disappeared entirely. East Wawanosh council decided the road must be built up again by the county and those repairs must be made to the township's specifications before the county will get another Wayside pit permit from - East Wawanosh. Council got agreement in principle from Mr. Demp- sey, but the matter still must come before county council. Council accepted the tender of Lloyd Jacklin of Molesworth to crush, load and haul 12,000 cubic yards of gravel for $1.64 per cubic yard and $1,20 per cubic yard to stockpile 1,000 cubic yards. A donation of $700 was made to the Foodlands Hydro Committee to fight Ontario Hydro's proposed transmission corridor from the Bruce Nuclear Power Development to London. Futhermore East Wawa - nosh council has petitioned Hydro to find a route which does not cross class one and two farmland or windbreaks. Council will circulate an amendment to a zoning bylaw for Ron Kingsbury, Lot 42, Con. 13. The bylaw will reduce the minimumn front yard set -back from 45 metres to a distance recognizing the location of the existing building. A` public meeting to hear any objections is scheduled for May 7 at 8:15 p.m. Council approved a building permit for Gord McBurney, Lot 32, Con. 10, a storage shed. Donations of $50 to the Huron County Farm and t Home Association and $30 to the Ontario Special Olym- pics were made at the meeting.
