CH invites input into plan
By David Emsley
Clinton News-Record
The existing and future uses of
properties within Central Huron will
be. affected by the new official plan,
and therefore ratepayers are being
urged to attend an open house to
review the plan.
“We would like the public to
understand this will affect properties
within the Municipality of Central
Huron,” said Reeve Carol Mitchell.
“You need to be informed.”
The public review open house of
the official plan, which is now in its
draft stage, will be held Saturday,
May 24, from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. in the
auditorium of the Clinton Arena.
She explained that in the wards
that were formerly the Twps. of
Goderich and Hullett, there were
never official plans, as townships
had secondary plans, which laid out
the planning process. “This will be
the first time in the townships an
official plan will be the governing
document.”
According to information
provided regarding the open house,
an official plan is a key planning
instrument that outlines the long
term land use planning goals and
objectives of the municipality. It is a
statement about where and how
development should take place, and
it also forms the basis for a new
zoning bylaw. The plan also
includes text and maps which show
how land is designated for specific
uses.
Council has collected input from
the public during meetings, Mitchell
During the children’s time at
Londesboro United Church on
Sunday, May 18, Rev. Nelson spoke
to the boys and girls about rocking
chairs and worry. When one rocks in
a rocking chair, one can be soothed
and relaxed although the chair goes
nowhere. Likewise worries go
nowhere either.
He encouraged the children to take
worries/concerns to their parents and
to God for help.
The senior choir er.listed the help
of the congregation with their
morning anthems, You Never Saw
Old Galilee.
The offering was received by
said, as well as receiving numerous
pieces of correspondence. “Now,
council has also hired a consultant to
review the draft official plan... just
to give us a fresh outlook, a different
approach,” she said.
A number of changes have
resulted from the draft official plan,
including policies regarding
agriculture, natural environment,
mineral aggregates and urban
settlement.
Among the changes of which
Mitchell made note was in the area
of natural environment, as she said a
number of properties in Ward 1
(Goderich Twp.) will be affected.
“With natural environment, it can
dictate the level of development.

Psalm 46, a psalm of rejoicing by
David, was the responsive reading.
Luke 19: 1-10 was the supporting
scripture for Rev. Ted Nelson’s
message, titled “Zacchaeus Was
Treed.”
Rev. Nelson pointed out that the
importance of what Jesus taught was
very often found in His chance
encounters with people, such as that
with Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus, a very
rich and unscrupulous tax collector,
was at a point in his life of feeling
somewhat remorseful.
Having heard much about this
gentle teacher, Jesus, Zacchaeus,
being of short stature, climbed up in
a sycamore tree for a better look
when Jesus came to Jericho.
Christ saw Zacchaeus in the tree
and He also saw the promise of a
better future for him. Calling
Zacchaeus down He went to dine at
the tax collector’s home in spite of
the alarm expressed by His
followers.
As a result of this encounter,
Zacchaeus repents and agrees to pay
restitution for his past and make
changes in his life.
Rev. Nelson said. “Jesus
challenges each of us to treat all
persons as equals, forgetting past
histories and looking to the future.
Christ’s gamble with Zacchaeus
brought salvation. The scripture
passage, “Let him who has not
sinned cast the first stone”, is a
reminder that none are faultless.

Next Sunday, the outreach team is

service. Proceeds will send a family

There can be development allowed
to no development allowed,” she
said. “That can determine the
existing and future uses of your
property.”
The reeve also commented on the
fact that standardized site plan
control policies for industrial and
commercial uses have been
developed for the whole
municipality under the new plan,
and said, “That's a major shift.”
During the open house, displays
will be set up in the auditorium
outlining the new plan, and
members of Central Huron Council,
along with the consultant and county
planning representatives will be on
