Clinton News-Record, 1984-04-04, Page 13:WS BAYFJELT •" one Watt more surprised than count ', wr 41 a. committee of adjustment ed favor of granting a local -resident perznth3ion to add an extension to a building. Village council passed a resolution at their April 2 meeting to instruct the law firm of Mitchell-Hockih and Dawson -of London to study the committee's decision and to determine 'th'e village should proceed to appeal. On March 27, the, three-member committee ruled to allow Addee McPhee to add a protective shed 101/2 feet inwidth 151/2 feet in.length to her existing binding. In granting her ion to proceed with construction the addition, the committee said, "Further buiklipsextension: into the is d rear y ar . eW d. The addition_wil house a p ttery'kiln and: is to be built in a 20 -foot rear yard allowance. Village council opposed the move to allow the expansion on the grounds that the addition was not a minor variance and testified to that fact at the committee of adjustment's March 22 hearing on the issue. Council aid the ad_diticn doesn't conformto their land `useand zoning bylaw tliat saq- there must be a minimum of 20 feet from the back of the house to the lot line. According to a letter signed by Committee Secretary -Treasurer Dora Warwick, eco'. Chairman brute' Hovey and member Brig. Morgan Sraitk the reasons for the decision were, "The lain; as Confirmed by ,Huron County Planning Department,is a legal use, A protective shed would tento .lessen any noise generated by its. uses and any odor dispelled by the kiln would be lessened by proper venting. The addition will not interfere with the visual amenity of the surrounding lots." Council was upset by the committee's decision. "I don't think ' the committee is too concerned with the bylaws of the village. It's too serious of an infraction on our bylaw. It is not a minor variance," Reeve Dave Johnston told the News -Record. Clerk -Treasurer Pat Graham was also upset With the decision. He said, "It was a tiepin the_ear from your o people." Clerk .!Graham went .= tat say tat council feels that they have an obligation to the ratepayers of the village to follow up the issue. The resolution passed by council gives the clerk and reeve the power to act on the legal findings of the London firm, on the assumption that an appeal on the committee's decision could be successful. An app_eal-laY, the village may result in a costly Ontario Municipal Board hearing. • Clerk Graham said that the village's next move on the issue will be discussed at their April 16 meeting. • Larry Taman Around and about the village By Gwen Pemberton Mr. and Mrs, Jack Willock have had as their guest Mrs: Catherine King, Jack's sister-in-law.
