Some win, some lose in requests to Blyth council
Some property owners won and
one lost in decisions made by Blyth
village council at its May 8 meet
ing.
Councillors reluctantly agreed to
put in a drain to drain property that
may have been flooded by the rais

Council supports
Festival fundraising
Blyth village councillors decided
to support a new fundraising pro
gram of the Blyth Festival designed
to pay off the remaining $447,000
debt from improvements to Memo
rial Hall.
Council had attended a meeting
with Festival directors April 30
when the plan was unveiled. The
plan will allow individuals or com
panies to have their name put on
various parts of the complex in
return for donations of specific
ond residential unit on the property.
The first case involved long-time
complaints about soggy ground at
the rear of Mason Bailey's property
on Gypsy Lane. Mr. Bailey, and
Robbie Lawrie, owner of Gypsy
Lane Apartments next door, com
plained that the ground was so
soggy with water that it was killing
off the trees. They said the problem
had arisen after a comer of Lions
size.
Reeve Albert Wasson said coun
cillors were grateful to see a new
plan for fundraising but were con
cerned that some existing parts of
the building were going to be avail
able for "naming". Council initiated
a meeting between Festival offi
cials and officials of the Blyth
Legion to make sure the Legion
had input into the plan since the
Hall is a memorial to the soldiers of

Park had been built up with fill.
"We're not in the business of
doing sub-draining" said Reeve
Albert Wasson, "but if the natural
situation is changed because of a
municipal move it changes the situ
ation."
Councillor Steven Sparling said
the village’s position had been
made clear before that if the village
caused the problem, the village
should fix the problem.
Councillor Dave Lee said he
wondered why the issue was just
becoming a problem now so many
years after the changes at the park
were made. Reeve Wasson said the
landowners would argue that there
has been a problem for years but
the complaints haven’t been
addressed.
Councillor Loma Fraser agreed
with Councillor Lee's proposal that
council and the landowners should
share the cost of the new drain to
drain the area but Reeve Wasson
said he felt that solution "won't fly"
with the landowners. "If we have to
go to court and we came out with
any percentage of blame it's going
to cost a lot more (than paying for
the drain)".
A motion to pay the entire costs
of the drain was supported by
Councillors Sparling, Fraser and
Shirley Fyfe and opposed by Coun
cillor Lee.
Meanwhile council decided that
The Station House bed and break
fast must pay for a second sewer
connection for a separate rental
united located in a former work
shop on the east end property. The
owners of the properly will be

informed, however, that they can
get a standby status that will mean
lower bills when the unit is not in
use during the winter months.
On one hand, councillors admit
ted that there were properties with a
second connection to serve a wash
room in a garage that paid only one
connection charge but they argued
that in an apartment building all
units must pay for a separate con
nection. Councillors felt that the
situation was similar to the situa
tion of an apartment and therefore
the second charge should be paid.
