and re-development; and
Whereas development and re-development requires the provision of physical and social
services by the Municipality of South Huron; and

providing the current level of municipal services; and

municipality may by by-law impose development charges against land to pay for
increased capital costs required because of increased needs for services; and
Whereas a development charge background study has been completed in accordance
