the opportunity of asking questions in respect to the proposed Official Plan Amendment.

Ms. Andria Leigh, Township Planner provided information with respect to the proposed
amendment. It was indicated that the purpose of the amendment is to allow for the creation of
lots for utility purposes. Those uses would be accessory to such companies as a gas company, an
oil company, a communication tower or Bell. The lots would be rezoned to restrict the properties
from being used for residential purposes.
