"Carried" 2 (~) 3. A-05/00 -Robert Guillemette i) Comments from County Planner The CAO, in the absence of Mr. Mike Barrett, County Planner, reviewed the application , as well as the Planning Comments. Mr. Guillemette, applicant, was present. He advised that currently only 22 of the 69 parking spaces were being used and the building is fully occupied. Therefore he cannot justify the purchase of more property for parking purposes. Mr. Guillemette supplied counts from various times throughout the day. Councillor Carroll indicated that she had a little difficulty with reducing the number of parking spaces as, over time, tenants will change and perhaps the parking spaces will be needed. The CAO advised that in a smaller building 1.75 usually generates a surplus of parking spaces. In the past, we have scaled down much lower. It was suggested that the loss of these parking spaces may have more of an impact on the second phase. Mr. Chalk, owner of property to the east, was present. He advised that he did not necessary object to the application, but had concerns with respect to the zoning. It was noted that there is currently a re-zoning application on the table. Mr. Barrett had indicated that there may be problems getting it zoned back to what it was. The CAO commented that any re-zoning will have to take into account the current Official Plan. Also, with respect to the site plan, the drainage will be considered. Mayor McKnight commented that the planning comments were the same as with the previous application. Discussion was held with respect to zoning issues. 3 The Deputy Mayor commented that there were too many unanswered questions and, as the decision could effect Mr. Chalk, he would like a little longer to sort this issue out. No. 8 Moved by Deputy Mayor Horton Seconded by Councillor Carroll AND RESOLVED THAT the Tillsonburg Committee of Adjustment defer application A-05/00 for 70 Queen Street (north half of Lot 441, Plan 500), subject to the following condition: 1) That an amendment to the existing site plan on the property be approved by the Town of Tillsonburg by deleting the parking area on the abutting property to the east and introducing curbing and fencing along the property line to separate the two properties. This site plan amendment shall be approved within one (1) year of the date of the Committee's decision or the Committee's decision will lapse. "Carried" H. Public Hearings I. Reports 1.
