Council approves two zoning
bylaw amendments
Tara Ostner
The Clinton News Record
Two different applications
for zoning bylaw amend-
ments were presented to
Central Huron council last
Tuesday night.
The first zoning by-law
amendment involved chang-
ing the zoning at the lots at
35062 Old River Road from
Residential -Low Density -
Special Zones (R1-30) to Resi-
dential -Low Density (RI). The
rezoning is required because
the applicant, Rick Penhale,
applied to enlarge a neigh-
bouring lot.
Coun. Alex Westerhout
noted that the lots in question
were quite sizeable and asked
what the chances are of future
development. Huron County
Planner Monica Walker -Bolton
responded by stating that there
is potential for this.
The second zoning by-law
amendment involved chang-
ing the zoning at the lot at
79995 Pondsview Road from
Agricultural -Commercial
Industrial - Special Zones
(AG3-1) to Agriculture -Com-
mercial Industrial - Special
Zones (AG3-8). The new
AG3-8 special zone adds a
pool and spa sales and ser-
vice business to the existing
permitted uses.
Walker -Bolton recom-
mended that the application
for rezoning be approved
and, in the end, council
voted in favor of the approval
of the application.

Council questions overall efficacy of digital sign in Clinton
Tara Ostner
The Clinton News Record
Last Tuesday Genny Smith
from GS Consulting delivered
to Central Huron council a
short presentation regarding
activities that she has under-
taken as the community
improvement coordinator for
the Clinton and Central
Huron Business Improvement
Area. Smith discussed the
Racing Heart 5km Walk/Run
and 10km Trail Run held in
July, the upcoming Amazing
Race in Clinton on September
26 and 27, the annual Ridge -
town student dinner held last
week at the REACH Centre
and the digital sign located on
Highway 8 in Clinton.
Council had numerous
questions and comments most
of which concerned the digital
sign. The main problem, as
everyone agreed, is that the
one year-old sign has not
generated the kind of revenue
that council was hoping and
various council members
questioned its overall efficacy.
Coun. Alex Westerhout got
straight to the matter when he
asked Smith what went wrong
with the sign and what she
was going to do to fix the
problem. Smith acknowl-
edged that there has to be
more advertising on the sign
and assured council that find-
ing more advertisers will be
her top concern moving for-
ward. Coun. Westerhout also
pointed out that the sign has
had technical problems to
which Smith responded by
saying she was "working on
solving the problem."
Coun. Marg Anderson also
pointed out how the clarity of
the digital sign in Mitchell is
"much better" than Clinton's
sign. Smith responded by
stating that she has been
attempting to contact people
at the company that made
the sign, however, they have
been "very hard to get a hold
of." Smith also told council
that she has suggested that
"full maintenance" be per-
formed on the sign.
Coun. Brian Barnim
attributed the problems with
the sign to a bad location
and old technology.
Questions concerning
exactly who may advertise on
the sign were also raised and
the mistaken idea that only
BIA members could use the
sign was corrected. In fact,
anyone may advertise on the
sign, however, BIA members
do receive a discount.
At the end of the discussion,
Mayor Jim Ginn shared his
views regarding the sign by
stating, "we're not happy with
it, you're not happy with it"
and suggested that the ulti-
mate problem may likely be
due to a software problem.
Bluewater
supports Bayfield
dog park but not in
proposed location
Delegations for and against
the proposed location made
presentations to Council last
Tuesday night. After further
discussion among Council,
municipal staff, and the pre-
senters, the following motion
was passed:
Moved by Deputy -Mayor
Klopp, seconded by Councillor
Wise, that Bluewater Council
are hereby supportive of estab-
lishing a dog parkin the Village
of Bayfield, but not in the pro-
posed location adjacent to the
ball diamond in Bayfield; and
Further that Council
directs staff to work with the
local residents and commu-
nity stakeholders to identify
the best possible site and to
research best practices from
other communities.
