Council passes zoning
by-law amendments
After no one attended a public
meeting Monday night to discuss
proposed changes to the Brussels
Zoning Bylaw, Village Council
passed a bylaw incorporating the
change.
Most of the changes remove
restrictions rather than add new
ones. A new permitted use of bed
and breakfast was included which
will allow people to host guests in
their own homes as a home busi
ness, as long as the area used does
not take up more than 25 per cent
of the floor area of the dwelling.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna White
explained that many people have
wanted to operate small bed and
breakfast businesses but were

money to build the hall. The next
hurdle is to find money for compul
sory bunker suits which all firemen
must have by law by 1995. Clerk-
Treasurer Donna White said she
has put a $500 allocation in the pre
liminary budget for 1993 to cover
purchase of some suits. The suits
cost more than $800 each and 14
must be purchased.
Chief Bernard said he’d like to
invest the money set aside and buy
all the new suits at the same time.

required to go through a zoning
change in the past.
Another change makes it easier
to build on comer lots by reducing
the set-back requirements while a
third change increases the amount
of coverage allowed on core com
mercial (downtown) properties to
50 per cent from 35 per cent.
The one additional restriction,
one that had been enforced under
the building bylaw anyway, was to
prohibit the used of galvanized
steel as a building material for any
exterior use in the village.
Most of the other changes were
house-keeping matters to clear up
mistakes or ambiguities in the old
bylaw.
Regulations on the suits are chang
ing and he said he would like to
have all the suits exactly the same
when the time came to buy them.
Councillor Bruce Hahn, who sits
on the fire committee, said a meet
ing should be organized between
town council and the department to
discuss the department's needs in a
new fire hall and get an estimate of
just how much it would cost to put
up such a structure.

On Oct. 1, classes from all over,
travelled to the B.M.&G.
Community Centre for the
Environment Fair. There were 27
exhibitors of products that help
with our environment. The
morning was for students to visit;
the afternoon and night for the
public.
Several exhibitors explained how
their business contribute to a better
environment.
Oldfields Pro Hardware recycle
old watch batteries and stock ozone
friendly products and also pack up
the boxes and reuse them. They
also recycle the paper that comes in
the boxes.
The Weed Man tries to promote
aeration which pops a core in the
lawn to allow more moisture to get
to the roots. This makes the grass
healthier. This produces more
oxygen. Healthier grass absorbs
more carbon monoxide. The Weed
Man also uses fuel efficient engines
in their sprayers.
The Tupperware industry is
trying to get people to use
reuseable dishes in their lunches
instead of plastic bags. They reuse
the no good plastic by melting it
down and remolding it.
Shaklee products are non
polluting and biodegradable. They
have products such as vitamins and
minerals as well as for body care
and environmental. Shaklee water
