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.

eob\ 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.
