BEAR Enforce tree •y -law BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE Two Huron County residents may face charges under the Tree Act and Huron County's ,bylaw No. 67, 1979 unless they agree in writing to replant trees. In the report of ,the development committee at- Huron tHuron County Couneil's September session, it was reported two landowners cleared approximately a total of 25 acres without a permit. The •committee report`stated that James McIntosh of lot 17 and 18, con. 1 and lot 17, con. 2, Township of Tuckersmith cleared about 15 acres without a permit and Thomas Mitchell of part lot 7 and east part of lot 8, con. 12, western division, Township of Ashfield cleared about 10 acres of trees without a permit. Ithas been recommended that if Mr. McIntosh does not agree in writing by Oct, 2, 1981 to plant a three row windbreak as approved by the. Ministry of Natural Resources the county's tree commissioner is to proceed charges. Four areas are to be replanted. Mr. Mitchell has to agree in writing by Oct. 2 to plant a three row windbreak in two areas or the Tree Commissioner will lay charges. "I find it appalling Mr. McIntosh saw fit to bulldoze the area without a permit," said Stanley Township Reeve Paul D. Steckle. He also asked if the contractorswho did the work did not care about the bylaws. Reeve Steckle sug- gested council "come down tough" on these people. Hullett Township Reeve T. J. Cunningham, chair- man of the development committee, defended Mr. McIntosh stating that some of the area, Mr. McIntosh felt did not qualify as bush and could therefore be cleared. An application to clear six acres of trees consisting of basswood; American elm, white oak and white spruce by McIntosh Poultry Farms of lot 19, con. 2HRS, Tuckersmith Township was denied by the committee. To this area, the tree commissioner recommended that an open area of approximately 11/2 acres be replanted. The committee 'reported the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority object to the ap- plication, but submitted an alternate clearing and planting plan if the clearing was approved. It was also noted the Ministry of Natural Resources do not consider the clearing to be a "minor" exception to the bylaw. . Nine other applications for clearing were either ap- proved in full or in part. They are as follows: An application by George F. Gollen of lot 40, con. S.B., Stephen Township to clear three acres of hickory, oak, beech and ironwood trees was approved in full. An application by Cecil Smithers, lot 41, con. S.B. of Stephen. Township to clear 12 acres of thorn trees was approved. An application by William J. McWhinney of W1 lot 9, con. 3, Ashfield Township to clear four acres of poplar, cedar and ash trees was approved inpart. with the areato be designated by the Tree Commis- sioner.

Bryans of lot 2, con. 12 of Grey Township to clear three acres of soft maple, ash, poplar and elm trees was approved in part with the Tree Commissioner to designate the area to be cleared. An application by John Benjamin of lot 16, con. 12, of Hullett Township to clear seven acres of thorn and willow trees be approved. It was agreed by the owner to have a smaller parcel cleared. An application by Norman and Edna Fairies of lots 7, 8 and 9, con. 9 of Howick Township to clear 4.78 acres of trees with one parcel consisting of hard maple, soft maple, cedar, poplar and thorns, and the second parcel . consisting of hard maple, basswood, poplar and thorns be approved in part with the tree commissioner designating the area to be cleared.

An application by Donald Schultz of lot 36, con. 3, East Wawanosh Township to clear 1.82 acres of soft maple and ash trees be approved with the proposed. area to be reforested is planted.

In other business; council did not approve a grant as requested by Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich for a proposed expansion of the in- tensive care unit. The grant was not approved because it is against county policy to give a grant if there is no provincial funding.
