As well, he said asesse- ments of homes within a mile of turbines in Lincoln, Wisconsin decreased by 26 per cent, adding that some of the homes in that area were bought out and bulldozed by the developer. Murray said roads were damaged and old culverts tossed aside to rust in farm- er's fields after wind devel- opments in Ripley and Wolfe Island. Murray . and Gerry Ryan asked council to make a sub- mission to the Environmen- tal Bill of Rights Registry commenting on setbacks and points of reception. "We feel it's very important for you to endorse what we're doing," said Ryan. Ryan added that as a rep- resentative of the farmers and small towns and villages in Huron East, council needs to be aware that wind com- panies will be lobbying for Crete and hvip us b d c rt ALL WELCOME! 1 8 1 Myth Road County Road #25, 1 mile east of Walton MONDAY through FRIDAY Ju1y2731 @ 1:30 PM R • smaller setbacks than the 550 metres being considered for the regulations of the Green Energy Act. r4112EIWTh `Turbines on the edge of town will f� restrict your rowth,'-- ter- G. erry Ryan Y d}k member of HEAT (Huron East Against Turbines) "Turbines on the edge of town will restrict your growth," he said. Murray gave the example of a wind turbine being built on a farm on the edge of Sea - forth next to Lions Park and said that with the current definition of "point of recep- tion," the Seaforth Lions Park and all the people who use the pool and ballpark would be disregarded. "The proposed setbacks are the same now for farms and urban areas, which virtually allows no growth for towns if they were placed on the pe- rimeter of a town," he said, adding that wind develop- ments near town could pre- vent further development and new tax revenues. A letter from HEAT's law- yer Kristi Ross' asked coun- cil to also send letters to the Ministry of the Environment informing them of the in- terim control bylaw and the study that is being conduct- ed. Mayor Joe Seili said council would take HEAT's requests "under advisement." "Burying cable is some- thing we can do under the site plan control but that's about the only option we have left," said Seili. Seili said he wished the mu- nicipality had enough money to conduct its own epidemio- logical study on the health effects of the wind turbines. "But, we can't afford it so we'll have to leave it to the province," he said. Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan told HEAT that he has already advised the Ministry of the Environment about the interim control by- law. 431111 Blyth Road - (1) mile east of Walton on County Rd. 825 YOU are Invited!
