Clinton News-Record, 1984-04-18, Page 10PAGpo AY, mum,L No appeal on McPhee issue By WendySomeirville After a meeting with . Jack Pounder member of -the Ratepayer's Association and a consultation With leggal advisors Bayfield council decided on April 16, not to appeal the Committee of Adjustment's decision to grant a local resident permission for a building extension. • On March 27, the three-member Commit- tee of Adjustment ruled to allow Addee McPhee to add a protective shed 101/2 feet in width and 151 feet in length to her existing building. This addition will house a pottery kiln and will be built in a 20 -foot rear yard allowance. Village council had previously opposed the. decision on the grounds that the addition was not a minor variance. - Reeve Dave Johnston said Addee McPhee could now apply to the clerk's office for a building permit the next day (April 17). Tree planting Reeve Johnston is concerned with the Garden Club's decision to plant a number of trees along a village road, two to three feet away from a drainage system. The Reeve said, "It's ridiculous to plant trees we know we're going to dig up years down the road." Council feared the trees' roots would eventually expand to cover tiles buried beneath the ground. "Council should draw the Garden Club's attention to the fact that the trees will be planted so close to the drain that they might hamper it," stressed Reeve Johnston. Clerk Pat Graham said it would "be a shame" if the trees had to be removed after the Garden Club had made efforts to plant them. "If we have to dig up that green, which I'm sure we're going to have to do, we're go- ing to ruin those trees," added the reeve. Councildecided to contact the Garden Club and suggest they plant the trees far- ther away from the drain. Church repair Gwen Pemberton, LACAC representative, told council that her committee had decided to recommend a proposal for the repair of the Presbyterian Church belfry,- Mrs. - Pemberton said she received 10 votes in favor of the repairs over the phone. "All 10 members agreed the application was in line with the Ministry's guidelines," said Mrs. Pemberton. After reading LACAC's application, the reeve asked the committee's representative if she was aware the contractor called for a replacement of the belfry's wooden posts with white aluminum or rubber. Mrs. Pemberton said She was aware of the con- tractor's suggestion and, "I would like to get the architect's say so on that too," The reeve questioned whether Mrs. P.etnberton had informed LACAC members over the hone about the decision to replace the will -en posts with aluminum. He. said council will have the decision regarding the belfry tower, by the end of May. Cleaning up It was decided to draw up a policy regar- ding the removal of trees and the collection of wood in front of residents' property. Council. agreed that it costs the village more to cut down a tree, cut it into smaller pieces, remove it and then store it. Clerk Graham suggested the village cut down the tree and the resident interested in the wood, cut it into logs. The reeve noted, "this only covers trees on village property, not on private proper - Council have decided to enforce a bylaw whereby all lotteries and draws held within the village must havea license number. The reeve said the clerk has the authority to issue a number for each draw held. Council agreed there would be no fee for the license but numbering the draws would control the number of tickets sold. "We have a bylaw and we either enforce it or we take it off the books," said Reeve Johnston. Pornography controls A resolution was passed regarding the Corporation of Thunder Bay's proposals to eliminate pornographic information access- ed by telephone. A motion to accept the proposal to restrict the obscene phone calls, and develop pro- grams educating school children on the pro- blems of pornography was made by Coun- cillor Lloyd Huffman and seconded by Coun- cillor Reg Wilson. A further proposal by the Corporation of Thunder Bay to reverse the, charges to the resident making call, was not accepted because council felt it was "undefined". _ United NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TAKE NOTICE THAT a Public Meeting of the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario will be held at the MARSLAND CENTRE, COMMITTEE ROOM 2, THIRD FLOOR, 20 ERB STREET WEST, WATERLOO, ONTARIO on WED- NESDAY, MAY 9th, 1984 at the hour of 10:00 o'clock in the fore- noon at which time the Board will hear applications, in accor- dance with the Regulations Sub- section 23(1) under the Liquor Licence Act, to increase the capacity of licensed premises in respect of the foliowing licenced establishment: Red Pump Restaurant Main Street, Bayfleld Additional Dining Lounge and Patio (Dining Lounge) Facilities Licencee: Henri Gerard AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that any person who is resident in She municipality and 'who wishes to make representation relative to the application, shall make their submission to the Board in writing prior to the date of the hearing, or in person at the time and place of the hear- ing.

Pranksters ilfer life preserver By Gwen Pemberton The Bayfield Vire Department is concern- ed that the orange -colored life -ring has disappeared off the pier. Last Sunday there were 25 or 30 people on the pier at one time: with no life preserver available in ease of emergency there could be a disaster. The ring is not an ornament nor a toy nor game for a prankster. It takes a while to order another. Will whoever knows its whereabouts please replace it where it belongs? It's put there to save life. Who knows whose life might be next? Even yours! Bayfield once again upholds its good track record for supporting worthy causes.
