Councillor Crawford then stated that those persons present would be
afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the
proposed Amendment. He then turned the meeting over to the Townshi
Planner, Ms. Kris Menzies, to explain the purpose and effect of the
proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment.
Kris Menzies:
The purpose of tonights amendment is
to allow Council the opportunity to
hear public comment on a rezoning.
The rezoning is planned to take place
on Part Lot 21, Concession 3. The
purpose of the rezoning is to allow
for an exception to the Agricultural
Zone. The exception would permit a
Bed and Breakfast to be located on
this particular property and the
policies of the municipality would
permit a Bed and Breakfast to be
located on the property, if Council
sees favour with the rezoning
application. There are certain
requirements in which the applicant
must fulfil, prior to Council seeing
favour with this and one of these
requirements is to receive comment
from the public. Mrs. Jane Blackstoc
who is the owner of the property is
here and if there are any questions
from the public regarding the busines
I am sure she can answer those as
well.
There being no questions or comments, when being called for the
third time, Councillor Crawford in closing the meeting, thanked
those in attendance for their participation and advised that Counci
would consider all matters before reaching a decision. He then
advised those present that if they wished to be notified of the
passing of the proposed By-law, they should leave their name and
address with the Clerk.
