R.S.O. 1990. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the by-law by filing with the Clerk of the Township not later than the 17th day of August, 2004, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By- law and the reasons in support of the objection, accompanied by a fee of $125.00 payable to the Minister of Finance.

However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group. AN EXPLANATION of the purpose and effect of the By-law, describing the lands to which the By-law applies is attached. The complete By-law is available for inspection in my office during regular office hours. DATED AT LUCAN THIS 28th day of July, 2004 Ron Reymer Clerk Township Of Lucan Biddulph P.O. Box 190 Lucan, Ontario NOM 2J0 Telephone: (519) 227-4491 Fax: (519) 227-4998 E-mail rreymer@lucanbiddulph.on.ca PURPOSE AND EFFECT BY-LAW NO. 103-2004 TOWNSHIP OF LUCAN BIDDULPH General Amendment to By-law 100-2003 The primary purpose of this general amendment to the Township's comprehensive Zoning By-law is to incorporate standards with respect to the location, height and characteristics of wind generation systems, commonly referred to as wind towers. In all zones, the number of wind towers is restricted to one per lot and subject to the requirements governing accessory buildings and structures. In built-up residential areas, additional or superceding restrictions on location (i.e. rear yard and interior side yard), maximum height (20 m or 66 ft) and maximum generating capacity (5 kilowatts) are established. The Interim Control By-law adopted by Council on April 1, 2004 to prohibit wind towers from being erected in the Township until their potential impacts are evaluated and appropriate regulations brought into effect, is repealed with the coming into effect of this By-law. The By-law also addresses matters of a general or `housekeeping' nature. Since adoption of the Zoning By-law on 7 October 2003, a few matters have been identified in the course of the day-to-day administration of the By-law which requires attention. These range from matters of interpretation and administration, definitions, general provisions, regulations for accessory buildings and structures in the General Agricultural (Al) Zone and Special Agricultural (A2) Zone and mapping errors. The changes correct errors identified in the adopted version of the Zoning By-law and clarify the intent of the By-law. An Official Plan is in effect in the Township of Lucan Biddulph. The County of Middlesex Official Plan is also in effect in the Township. The By-law is considered to be in conformity with both plans.
