F. Public Hearings
1. Applications for Consent and Zone Change -Andy Jacko Farms Limited
(County Report #00-24)
Mr. Mike Barrett, County Planner, reviewed the County Report.
Mr. and Mrs. Andy Jacko and their agent, Mr. John Gilvesy, were present.
Mr. Gilvesy commented that the application is in keeping with the Official
Plan. The drainage ditch does buffer the residential development that is
there, and given the fact that there are other like uses in the area, this
application is very much consistent with the OP.
The Pastor from Bethel Temple was also present.
No other persons spoke in favour of or opposition to the application.
In response to a concern raised, Mr. Barrett advised that the property
where the church will be built is a low-density area and high density lands
are not in jeopardy. He further commented that the Town still has a good
inventory of high density lands available.
In response to a question with respect to the size of the buffer zone, Mr.
Gilvesy commented that there is much land to work with. Mr. Barrett
added that he has no concerns, as the subject property is a large site and
should be able to accommodate a sizable buffer.
