fate of station
The vacant Sunoco service station in
Brussels, zoned residential and located in a
residential neighbourhood, can be operated,
but only if site plan control.
At their regular meeting, Aug. 8, Brussels
council passed a bylaw designating the
property as a site plan control area. It was one
of three choices presented to council by
Roman Dusz, Huron County planner.
"Since the station doesn't comply to the
zoning bylaw, council can refuse a building
permit, but enforcibility of the zoning bylaw
is questionable because it has only had two
readings," said Mr. Dusz.
At an Aug. 3 public meeting. the owner of
the property applied to have it rezoned to
commercial. Prospective buyer, Jim Toth of
Formosa, said he wished to open the service
station, add a body shop and construct an
addition to the rear of the building.
"1 understand the buyer now doesn't want
anything more to do with the property," said
reeve Cal Krauter. "He's washed his hands
of the whole deal because he said we (council)
took too long. Now the seller is crying."
"The station has been a problem for many
years because owners come and go. Even•
tually the site could be redeveloped to
conform with zoning, but it doesn't look too
promising," Mr. Dusz said. "The first choice
is maybe not fair."
The second option is to let a new owner
open the business, approving a building
permit so he can begin operations. "It helps
the owner, but not surrounding residents.
They will have to put up with noise. dust,
etc."
The most favorable option was the third.
where council allows the property to be
developed, but includes site plan control.
such as buffering and that Ministry of
Environment requirements be met. —Prob-
lems of noise and dust would be reduced. It
offers a degree of protection to the residents,
said Mr. Dusz. The zoning would not change.
"Maybe that's the way to go," said
councillor Bank Ten Pas. "It makes the
difference between a pleasure and a pain in
the neck."
"If you choose the third option. 1 suggest a
bylaw be passed so a range of cohtrols will see
that the property will be properly develop.
ed," said Mr. Dusz. "Once this is done, a
building permit can be issued. The Ministry
of the Environment recommends a certificate
of approval be obtained for a paint booth prior
to the issuance of a building permit."
"If 1 had been the buyer," said councillor
Betty Graber, "1 would have said forget it
long ago. But we were held back."
"We maybe dragged our feet. but it was
because we were working in the dark," said
the reeve. "1 believe in planning and this is
one of the reasons. 1 didn't realize the
ministry of environment could get involved."
"If he always has complaints from
neighbours. it becomes very unpleasant:
Precautions make it easier for everyone in the
long term." said Mr. Dusz.
"1 think we should have a complete zoning
bylaw for the municipality very soon." said
councillor Gord Workman, "not just for one
property. There is a lot of confusion.over a
body shop in the downtown area. What's fair
for the goose has to be fair for the gander."
"We know what he (Mr. Toth) wants, but
we have to know what we want," said Mr.
Krauter.
If Mr. Toth plan to pursue the purchase,
he will first have tenter into an agreement
with the village and prepare a site plan
showing how the property will be used.

The knowledge that you are a welcome
guest in a home visited does not come from
the house, cleaned and polished, and the fuss
of food prepared for you. It conies from the
warmth and friendliness that comes from the
hearts of those who live there.
Why not be at St. John's Anglican Church
between the hours of four and seven p.m.
today (Wednesday. August 17). There you
can see the Flower show of the Brussels and
Community Horticultural Society and treat
yourself to the ham and turkey supper they
will be serving.
More about vacation! After almost five full
days and four nights on the boat the time
inevitably came when it was necessary, with
regret, to leave for Ottawa. taking with us
memories of the enjoyable time spent among
the Thousand Islands of the scenic St.
Lawrence. Enroute to Ottawa there was a
stop at the Smith's Falls hospital to visit my
elder granddaughter and be introduced to my
new-born great grandson. Jeremy Michael
Pershaw. His mother was glowing with pride
having' presented her husband with a
healthy, 7 Ib. 9 oz. boy who yawned and slept
on ignoring the faces gazing at him through
the nursery glass.
Arriving at the family home some chaos
met us within. Two rooms being redecorated
were supposed to be finished but were not.
This however put no crimp on activities.
Brushes were taken up and wielded by some
folk, the painting soon completed, with
things quickly put back in place. Family
members living elsewhere in Ottawa, dropp-
ed in each day as did other friends. Barbecues
were an every day occurrence. One evening
every member of the family from wee Jeremy
to great grandma. plus a fiancee and e
boyfriend were present to enjoy the barbe-
cue- Jeremy's three-year-old sister Saman-
tha appeared to take her baby brother quite
calmly with no apparent jealousy or great
enthusiasm. The 12 -year-old uncle of the
baby was the one fascinated by the tiny hands
and feet. Chased indoors late in the evening
by rain everyone joined, playing in couples,
in the interesting, memory testing game of
Trivia Pursuit. It is fun, furrowed brows
concentrated on recall, questions for which
correct answers were not forthcoming,
provoked mirth and laughter.
Among all the activity were quiet times
sitting in a shady spot outdoors reading, or
talking, while we cooled off with a tall glass of
iced tea. Then there were trips to shopping
malls. Two ladies I accompanied visited a
store that had been recommended. It was a
