or comments with regards to the proposal.
Mary Taylor inquired that if a Bed and Breakfast is already in
existance, how can they comply with this By-law?
Eleanor Laity asked how would they obtain a licence when in
fact other small municipalities operate bed and breakfasts
without a by-law to cover their existence? Also why is the
Township of Oro passing such a by-law?
Councillor Crawford questioned the cost of rezoning to establish
a bed and breakfast.
Mr. Ron Watkin, Planning Consultant, responded to the questions
posed by Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Laity and Councillor Crawford.
As there were no further questions from those present, the Reeve
in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their
