The Wingham Advance Times, 1995-09-20, Page 2TEESWATER--A trailer owned by a village flower shop owner may not be returned to the hamlet unless it conforms to town zoning bylaws. Flora Nabrotzky of "Flora's Flowers" had the trailer removed by council's July 31 deadline. It now is located outside Teeswater in a neighboring township. The trailer was used to store Na- brotzky's bedding plants during the frost -prone season. In a letter, Na- brotzky had asked if local service clubs could use the trailer to advert- ize events. The request was dis- cussed at the first September meet- ing of Teeswater council held last Monday. While Councillor Steve Mac- Donald could not see any reason why service groups could not use the trailer to advertize events, as long as the trailer was in town no longer than a weekend, the other members were not eager to see it returned to the village at all. "Let's stay out of it altogether," said Councillor Karl Lang and Dave Montgomery agreed, "It's (the trailer) out of town now, let's leave it out." Nabrotzky's suggestion that she be allowed to bring the trailer back into town to use during the frost season also met with a flat "no". THE IYINGHAM ADVANCE TIMES Problems remain unsolved By JIM BROWN The Advance -Times BELGRAVE - East Wawanosh Township council spent close to an hour discussing the problems of the Johnston Drain and the prob- lems faced by Paul Montgomery and other residents of Hutton Heights. Council suggested that Mont- gomery get a petition started and bring it to council so council could have an engineer assess the prob- lem and get an estimate of the cost of solving the problem. Montgomery was at council ear- lier this summer complaining about water runoff flooding his basement, especially after a rain- fall. His basement is still flooding, and the water is remaining,on his property. He would like to have a drain take the water away. Township road superintendent Ralph Campbell said it is mostly basement water. He added that any drainage would not be an attempt to take away all the surface water, because they wouldn't want to have water back-up into base- ments. Councillor Fred Meier said that if property owner Lloyd Hutton decided to develop the 10 lots on he other side of Crawford Street, 404e*Arg Watch for our complete cov- erage of the 75th Belgrave School Fair •results •pictures then a drain would have to be built. Keith Montgomery said that everyone concerned should work together in solving the problem. "Now would be a good time to get things fixed up," he said. He added that a one-time tem- porary solution just made things worse. Councillor Jim Campbell said putting a culvert across Hwy. 4 would significantly solve the prob- lem by getting rid of a great deal of the surface water.. Councillor Jim Hunter suggest- ed that Montgomery should come back to council with a signed peti- tion. It was noted that a temporary I 8 -month agreement was reached in 1991 that was supposed to have extended the drain to the south end of Crawford Street in 1992, and carry the water from both sides of the street. The drain was never completed. Council still stated that a peti- tion would be required in order to get the work done. Council said that there was no petition in 1991, and no engineer was brought in by council. At a special meeting held in De- cember, 1991, it was agreed that two-thirds of the cost would be borne by the Wells Association with 16 2/3 per cent each paid by Evans and Thompson. Coun. Hunter said that eventual- ly the drain will have to go all the way to the end. It was suggested that council talk to an engineer in order to. find out what should be done. Council can also Lind out how many people will be affected. Coun. Campbell said that an ex- tended drain would eventually help everyone in the area, out he added there is nothing the council can do until it receives a signed petition. Keith Montgomery said that he didn't want to cause any trouble, but said he would take the matter to his lawyer. Paul Montgomery agreed with his father that a lawyer should look at the matter, but added he would sign a petition. He added that his insurance company is also looking into the situation. "I just want to take the water out of my basement," he said. All members of council will meet with an engineer just to find out what would be involved in get- ting a drain installed. Reeve Don Schultz said no en- gineer would be hired by the coun- cil until they receive a petition from the affected residents Trailer will not return to village List of Advertisers to be found in this week's efit cc ingJ unc AtibancezZinuti All Wall Construction A.

The reeve broached the subject at the first September meeting of Teeswater council. In an effort to acquaint school children with the inner workings of the municipality, 'Kissner suggested that an essay contest be held in both schools. Teachers could judge the essays Montgomery suggested that she put up a tent, however, Clerk -Treasurer Kendra Reinhart pointed out that a tent cannot be locked. In the end, council said it will is- sue no temporary permit for the trailer and it cannot be allowed in town unless it complies with the bylaw. 1 E i is . Xa .l County Continued from front page ing their grants cut while 90 per cent of their budget is in salaries of unionized staff. He said the county should be helping the board gain more control over the salary por- tion of its budget. Hullett Reeve Tom am said he supported the motion and the aim of no tax increase but won- dered if council might be setting a trap for itself. If the provincial gov- ernment cuts grants but doesn't cut the requirements for service that it now imposes on municipalities then council will be hard pressed to hold the line on the budget. Mickle, past president of the As- sociation of Municipalities of Onta- rio, told council the group's annual - meeting had been told by provin- cial treasurer Ernie Eves that cuts of 20 per• cent in conditional and unconditional grants to municipali- ties were in the works. What's more, he said, a senior government official had told him not to be sur- prised if provincial grants to munic- ipalities disappear 'completely in the comingyears.
