East Wawanosh has hot debate on severances
BY GARY WALDEN
The severance policies of East
Wawanosh were discussed at some
length at the September meeting of
township council.
Wayne Caldwell from the Huron
County Planning Department ad
dressed council on recommenda
tions for Hutton Heights. He
pointed out the two routes the
subdivisioncould be developed
under. One - a plan of subdivision
which would require a large outlay
of money before any lots could be
sold; plus, due to government
paperwork could take anywhere
from six months to four years for
approval.
The second option would be for
severance by consent. Under this
arrangement, the developer would
be able to sever each lot as it was
sold and the owner would accept
the responsibility for his own water
and sewage. The advantages to
this option would be that the total
price per lot would be cheaper, plus
a large sum of the developer’s
money is not tied up for years
waiting for the lots to sell.
Councillor Taylor said he had no
problems with severance by con
sent so long as the township council
had the final say as to what and how
the development proceeded.
Council felt if they were to go this
way they would want a pre-design
of the development before any lots
could be sold. Once one lot was
sold, the development would have
to be surveyed for all the lots and
roadways.
Councillors agreed that if they
could get some kind of binding
agreement from the developer,
Mr. Hutton, then they would allow
severance by consent for the
sub-division at Hutton Heights.
The motion was made by Fred
Meier to have Mr. Hutton attend a
meeting with a pre-design of the
sub-division and explain it to
council.
In a separate, but related
discussion Mr. Ron Kingsbury
asked council and Wayne Caldwell
if itwaspossibleforhimtosell a
parcel of his land along Highway 4
to an individual who wishes to
locate there with a small business
■operating out of his home. Mr.
Caldvell stated that since the
parcel of land in question was
zoned agriculture, the chances of
severance were slim.
Mr. Kingsbury pointed out that
all around the parcel of land were
mostly commercial properties, i.e.
The Ministry of Natural Resour
ces, his welding shop, Montgom
ery’s School Buses, and that the
land was not being farmed or likely
toever be farmed because it was so
small and effectively separated
fromany viablefarm. However,
Mr. Caldwell was adamant, that
even so, a severance would not be
accepted.
When Mr. Caldwell was ques
tioned as to what good it was doing
the township to keep a piece of
worthless farm land from being
developed into a tax paying
residence and business property,
he replied that perhaps there were
too many commercial develop
ments there already. He suggested
that the person should locate in
Wingham.
Mr. Kingsbury stated that an
appropriate location was not avail
able in Wingham, and besides why
keep a taxpayer and business out of
the township. Mr. Caldwell sug
gested that if he wanted to sever
the land, then he should submit an
application along with the sever
ance fee of $250. When asked if he,
Mr. Caldwell, would support the
application for severance, Mr.
Caldwell replied no.
Inotherbusiness, demolition
permits were issued to John Gnay,
Bill Fidom, and Gerry Edwards
and building permits to Jim Taylor
for an addition on his barn, Murray
Dawson for an addition on his shop,
Ivan Getke for a storage shed, Bill
Seers for a garage at his house, Bill
Fidom for a storage shed and to
Canadian Agra for two steel
graineries.
Council donated $50 to the
Belgrave Girl Guides to help them
with start up costs for their new
club.
The grantfor the Belgrave arena
roofwas approved. Now all that
needs to be done is to decide
whether or not the roof should be
replaced or eventually left and let
the arena close. Councillor Taylor
said that most of the people he has
talked to support fixing the roof.
The point was raised though, that
for all the arena is used is it worth
the cost to fix it up and then maybe
have it condemned anyway in
anotherfiveyearsas there are a
number of cracks already in the
foundation.
Dogs were also a topic of
discussion at the meeting. Wilma
Scott had a number of chickens and
turkeys killed by wild dogs. The
dogs apparently ripped open the
cages and mutilated the birds. Jim
Taylor motioned and Fred Meier
seconded a payment of $415 to
Mrs. Scott for her loss.
Also this past week dogs were at
Jim Hallahan’s place and killed a
number of his chickens that were
just read for market. When
questioned about whose responsi
bility it is to pay for damages,
council replied that if the dog or
dogs can be caught and ownership
can be proven, the owner is liable
and must pay.
Around Mr. Beecroft’s area
there is apparently a pack of
German Shepherd dogs that have
caused children bicycling to scale
treesfortheir safety. Council is
sending a letter to the owners to
eithercontaintheirdogs, orthe
dogs will be shot. Council also
suggested that anyone having
trouble of the above nature, to
contact Brian Walden immediate
ly, not two days later, as he is the
township’s dog catcher.
