Box 400 Clinton ON NOM 1L0 (519) 482-3997 Ext. 1232 County to move ahead with charges Continued from page 11 hearing and Tousaw said that the county couldn't. The applicants, he said, were within their legal rights to file an application and the county then has to defend itself. He added that the decision of the board is appealable, so the applicants may choose to appeal the decision. He also added that during the course of the hearing, which was heard over seven days in February, March and September in Clinton, there was one procedural sidebar that was held in Hamilton. The county lost that issue and had to pay the applicants' legal cost, but only for that sidebar hearing. According to the decision, the county authorized the clearing of three areas: one 15 -metre width to accommodate automobiles, service vehicles, farm equipment and cosmetic lighting; one 12 -metre width of clearing for the existing hydro line and the creation by clearing trees of a farm equipment access along the east boundary of the property from the south field to the north field, being a distance of approximately 150 metres and an approximate width of 12 metres. The decision states that the landowners cleared the land they were authorized to clear, but then exceeded those areas. The document states that Brake said he intended to cut between 30 and 35 acres, however, that was later amended to between 16 and 17 acres. Dave Pullen, Huron County's Forest Conservation Officer, testified at the hearing that the effect of clear cutting the property would have a massive impact on surrounding properties. "Dave Pullen testified that clear cutting the areas that the applicants want to clear would be catastrophic to this property and to neighbouring properties, as especially in the wetland areas there would be significant topsoil eroded into the watercourses finding its way down to the Maitland River because of the nature of the soil and the high water table," the decision read. Tousaw told councillors that there were charges under the forest conservation bylaw pending against the landowners that can now go forward because this decision has been reached.

(Denny Scott photo) Alleged trespassers cleared Steve Hill, a Wingham resident, had a charge of trespassing in relation to a bylaw infringement at a North Huron Township Council meeting on Aug. 22 dismissed in Goderich court on Oct. 11. Hill, alongside fellow Wingham resident Brad Carther, were charged with trespassing after council said they refused to put away recording devices during the meeting. North Huron Council instituted a bylaw in the past that prohibited recordings as the township was recording and broadcasting all council meetings on YouTube. Hill's case was heard on Oct. 11 and was dismissed and, as a result, the charges against Carther were then dropped in the same court that day.
