Council approves zoning change
Blyth council approved a zoning
amendment at the March 6 meeting
for applicant Albert Wasson.
Wasson requested a change for
Part Park Lot 17, RP 171 and part
Lot 2, Cone. 10 from Highway
Commercial to Highway Commer
cial-Special Zone to allow the
establishment of a second residence
on the property in the existing com
mercial business.
The lots currently have a
detached residence, but Wasson
was interested in creating a resi
dence in the building previously
used as a restaurant. An eating
establishment is to be re-estab
lished in the building as well.
County planner Cindy Fisher was
on hand to discuss the matter.
Council agreed that the property
should remain commercial and that
it cannot be used as a residence
only.
Wording to that effect was
included in a bylaw attachment and
the zoning amendment was passed.

Blyth council briefs
An application for a minor vari
ance, submitted by L&Y Young-
blut Enterprises, for a Victoria
Street property was discussed prior
to the March 6 session of Blyth
council.
The variance would reduce the
side yard requirement from three
metres to 2.5 metres on the west
side for Plan 168, Lot 171.
It was discovered the home had
been built one foot too close to the
west boundary.
In another property matter, coun
cil had no objection to a severance
application or Plan 170, Part Lot
12, and Lot 13, Block D, subject to
approval for a minor variance if
needed.

treatment plant. The village will be
eligible for a $1,000 capital expen
ditures grant for the work which is
estimated to cost $3,000.***
In response to a question from
the gallery, Stewart said the first
day of bag tags went well.
However, he said, there had been
a few complaints from people
about using the tags and some
garbage that was not picked up
because it was not tagged.
The process also went well at the
dump site with some people just
paying a tipping fee rather than
using tags.
When asked if there would be a
decrease in taxes because of rev
enue from the landfill site, Stewart
said he was unsure as the county
requisition had been increased by
two per cent.***
