m1 H. Communications
1. Comments RE: Proposed Zoning Amendment for Till -Del Ltd.
i) The Tillsonburg Free Methodist Church
Rev. Doug Dawson, Tillsonburg Free Methodist Church, was
present and expressed his concerns with respect to the lack of
property, as outlined in his correspondence.
ii) Tillsonburg B.I.A.
Councillor Carroll, on behalf of the Tillsonburg B.I.A., commented
that the application is in contravention of the Official Plan and, due
to outstanding issues of parking and safety, approval of this
application does not make good planning sense to the B.I.A.
Mr. Ian Linton, spoke of the application and reviewed the background of
the property. He circulated a document containing earlier comments of
the C.B.O. Mr. Linton felt that if, at that time, there had been any
questions with respect to the zoning they would have been addressed then.
In response to concerns of Rev. Dawson, Mr. Linton stated that he and
Mrs. Hunter, were not aware that traffic was using the Church's drive to
access the subject property. He also noted that he witnessed the current
traffic pattern this past Sunday and advised that he had observed use of the
subject property and Annandale School property, in addition to the subject
property. He did not feel this should be an issue.
Mr. Linton addressed the safety concerns, as expressed by the B.I.A., and
did not agree with the `no on -street parking' as suggested by the B.I.A.
Mr. Linton pointed out that the applied -for use was contained in the
existing Zoning By -Law, and suggested the following uses, be removed
from the proposed By -Law:
- a brewers retail outlet
- a car wash establishment
- a farm produce retail outlet
- a hotel or motel.
No other persons appeared in support of, or opposition to, this application.
