BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Two Huron Cotinty 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 com-
mittee at 'Huron County Council's
September session, it was reported two
landowners cleared approximately a. total
of 25 acres without a permit.
The cornmittee report stated that James
McIntosh of lot 17 and. 18, con. ,i and lot 17,
con. 2; Township of Tuckersmith cleared
about 15 acres without a permit and
Thomas. Mitchellof part lot 7 and east part
of lot 8, con. 12, western division, Township
of Ashfieldcleared about 10 acres of trees
without a permit.
It has been recommended that if Mr.
McIntosh does riot, 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 contractors who did
the work did not: care about the bylaws.
Reeve Steckle suggested council "come
down tough" on these people.
Hullett Township Reeve T. J. Cunn-
ingham, chairman of the development
commrittee, defended Mr. McIntosh stating
that some of the area, Mr. M Intosh-felt
did not qualify as bush and could therefore
be cleared

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. -

recommended that an open area of ap-
proximately 11/2 acres. be replanted. • The

Conservation Authority object to the ap-
plication, but •sub witted an , alternate
