Home My WebLink AboutThe Wingham Advance Times, 1995-06-14, Page 2WfAN,N$DAY, JUNE 190 Zoning amendment Planning workshop for Lower Town Turnberry Township policies to be examined in July approved for business Stu's relocating to township BELGRAVE - Stu's Stove Shoppe and Chimney Sweep of White- church is moving to East Wawa - nosh Township. Stu's Stove Shoppe owner Greg Stuart was at East Wawanosh Township council last Tuesday to find out if the zoning amendment would be approved. Council approved the amend- ment to the zoning by-law, at its monthly meeting last Tuesday. The amendment would change the zoning of the East half of Lot 32 on Concession 14 from general agriculture (AG1) to general agri- culture - special zones (AG1-4). The purpose of the amendment was to expand the definition of a, home industrial use for the proper- ty in question in order to allow for the establishment of a chimney sweep and stove business within the existing accessory garage lo- cated on the property. The property contains one exist- ing residence, one accessory gar- age, and one accessory storage shed. The property is approximate- ly 100 acres in size, and includes lands zoned natural environment 1, 2, and 3, and fronts Highway 86. Brian Treble of the Huron County Planning Department said the re -zoning would not jeopardize agricultural practices of neighbor- ing farms. He added that there was no ob- jections from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. Neil Edgar, a neighbor, said he had no objections to the re -zoning, but was concerned about another neighbor across the highway who had built a pond. Council approved the zoning amendment, but there is a 20 -day appeal period. If there are no ob- jections then the by-law is ofcicial. East Wawanosh Township, Blyth Union Cemetery. East Wawanosh Township council was informed at its last meeting that the Blyth Union Cemetery was owned by Hullett Township. However,'the township was going to 'quick deed' the cemetery in or- der to turn it over to the Village of Blyth. The Village of Blyth would then be responsible for it. East Wawanosh Township council also heard that boards cannot ask for levies from member municipalities, but they can ask for donations. Concern about severance East Wawanosh Township council received notice from Morris Township about a severance application by John Richmond of Lot 1 Concession 4. , Council was concerned that if a residence was built on the property in Morris Township, the property owner across the road in East Wawa - nosh Township would not be able to expand his barn. East Wawanoshwas in favor of the severance on the condition that a residence was not built on the property in quesiton. Thank -You for your support on June 8.

They reported that a workshop to discuss planning policies proposed for Lower Town will be held in July, possibly at Turnberry Central School. A public meeting will be held in the Bluevale hall on Aug. 3 at 8 p.m.• to discuss official plan poli- cies. SWIMMING POOL BYLAW Council gave first, second and third reading to a swimming pool bylaw, as presented by Paul Jo - sling, chief building official. The bylaw requires that all new- ly -constructed swimming pools in the township be fenced, regardless of whether they are in the urban area or the country. It is not retroac- tive to pools already constructed, but Josling can suggest that owners fence their pools anyway. TAX BILLING A discussion ensued on having three tax payments in the township. Turnberry currently has two tax in- stallments, one in the spring and one in the fall, but some ratepayers have requested three instalments. The clerk suggested making a special arrangement for anyone with the first instalment of over $20,000. Those few owners could have payments due May 26, July 28 and Sept. 29, Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly suggested and no in- terest charges until those due dates. As the tax bills for 1995 already have been printed for this yeg and sent out, nothing can bedone this East Wawanosh accepts tenders for storage shed BELGRAVE - East Wawanosh Township council accepted tenders for the construction of a sand/salt storage building and for the paving of the Westfield Road at its June meeting last Tuesday evening. Four tenders were received for the sand/salt storage building, while just two were accepted for the paving of the fourth line. Domm Construction of Ayton Tories take 82 of 130 Continued from front page task lay ahead in Toronto regard- less of who attained power' on June 8.. Johns said her own goals will be in the area of financial responsibili- ty. She said she understands the people want fiscal responsibility from the government and they !ant someone to do something positive about the deficit. As for any partic- ular position with the Mike Harris government, Johns wouldn't specu- late. Following the announcement she had taken her riding, Johns would only say she will be pre- pared for whatever Harris has in mind for her. Some political insid- ers have her pegged for a position of greater responsibility given her extensive education and small busi- ness. experience. She has also said she intends to provide Huron with a strong voice at Queen's Park, despite the possi- bility that the riding could be ex- panded to match the federal boun- daries under Harris's plan to reduce gover,,pment from 130 MPPs to 99. The PCs will take over from Pre- mier Bob Rae and the NDP on June 26. The first priority, according to the Harris office, will be welfare re- form. was the . accepted tender for the sand/salt building. The construction of the 32 -foot - by -48 -foot building will cost $73,099. The paving tender for the fourth line was awarded to Cox Construction of Guelph at "a total cost of $77,633. The township will pay $34.55 per metric tonne for the asphalt. Tenders for the sand/salt build- ing were received from Gary Cald- well Construction of RR 3 Blyth, Landmark Construction of Hano- ver and VandenHeuvel Construc- tion of Goderich. The paving of the Westfield Road, from Lot 34 to Lot 37, will be completed by Aug. 25. The pavement will be 1 3/4 inches thick, and will be compacted. The only other asphalt tender came from Lavis Construction of Clin- ton. Although the two bids were ac- cepted, council was concerned about the total cost of the projects. The total cost of the two projects was pared down to $150,732, after an original total price of over $174,000. Township roads superintendent Ralph Campbell said he had only budgeted $147,800 for both pro- jects. He added that the total 1995 budget for roads was over $466,000 with $217,000 already ,being spent. The roads superintendent noted that they would get some of the GST back, and that the township had already received $50,000 to- wards the building. Coun. Jim Hunter didn't think they should take anything out of the road department's reserves. Council decided not to build the equipment storage shed, and also withdrew the optional items of the asphalt pad and the eavestrough- ing. Roads superintendent Campbell said they could do without the pad, but they needed the sand/salt stor- age building. COMMUNITY CALENDAR Sponsored INSURANCE BROKERS (Wingham) Ltd.
