to
brief
us
on.
B
A
A
C
Good
morning
mr.
chair
members
of
committee
and
members
of
the
audience,
my
name
is
Laurel
McCray
and
I'm.
The
file
lead
on
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application
for
190
David
Manchester
wrote
to
give
you
a
brief
outline
of
today's
presentation.
I'll
begin
with
a
site
context,
moving
on
to
the
purpose
of
the
application
going
through
the
policy
framework,
the
provincial
policy
statement
and
the
Official
Plan
a
summary
of
my
presentation,
a
recommendation
to
the
committee
as
well
as
a
question
period
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
C
Context
of
the
application
the
site
is
located
on
the
east
side
of
David
Manchester
Road,
just
west
of
Highway.
Seven,
the
site
is
approximately
6.4
hectares
in
size,
it's
currently
vacant
and
partially
forested.
The
surrounding
uses
that
we
can
see
on
the
next
slide
include
a
quarry
just
to
the
right
royal
residential
uses
in
this
site,
as
well
as
vacant
forested
land.
C
The
zoning
application
is
also
tied
to
a
proposed
site
plan,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
proposed
site
plan
where
it
stands
today,
we
are
still
currently
working
with
the
applicant
on
issues
related
to
the
site
plan.
So
this
is
the
proposed
facility
here
located
just
to
will
safer
to
eat
to
the
east.
Right
now
is
the
existing
toystore
highway,
7
buts,
the
property
as
well
as
David
Manchester,
there's
associated
part
in
some
outdoor
storage
related
to
the
site
plan
to
go
through
the
policy
framework.
C
I'll
begin
with
the
provincial
policy
statement,
the
Planning
Act
states
that
matters
must
be
consistent
with
the
provincial
policy
statement.
I
have
set
out
some
policies
that
are
relevant
to
this
application
for
them
on
this
slide
that
you
see
before
you
to
talk
about
how
the
application
does
not
meet
these
policies.
Firstly,
the
introduction
of
an
industrial
and
retail
use
in
its
location
in
constitutes
inefficient,
scattered
development,
there's
already
an
existing
supply.
C
C
The
general
rural
area
designation
requires
that
any
applicant
applying
for
a
zoning
bylaw
amendment
has
to
meet
several
policies
set
out
in
this
designation.
It
must
demonstrate
why
the
proposed
use
is
not
better
located
in
another
designation
and
how
the
use
is
in
keeping
with
the
rural
area.
These
are
some
of
the
policies
that
are
set
out
in
the
general
rural
area
that
the
application
must
meet
and
that
staff
are
satisfied
that
their
proposed
use
will
satisfied
again.
C
The
proposed
use
is
not
exclusively
related
to
the
rural
economy
and
is
not,
by
its
nature,
need
to
locate
in
the
rural
area.
The
retail
function
and
its
associated
traffic
is
incompatible
in
a
rural
residential
setting,
and
industrial
and
retail
use
of
this
magnitude
is
not
suitable
in
this
part
of
the
general
rural
area
and
would
negatively
impact
adjacent
rural
landowners
on
David
Manchester
Road
one
other
commercial
use
is
located
in
close
proximity
to
the
site,
as
I
have
showed
on
an
aerial
photo.
The
remaining
and
the
surrounding
areas
scattered
rural
residential
uses.
C
This
is
two
views,
or
these
are
two
views
of
David
Manchester
Road,
the
top
left.
One
is
looking
north
from
the
site
that
would
be
on
the
right
to
up
David
Manchester
Road.
As
you
can
see,
the
road
is
partially
paved
and
it
ends
just
up
here.
The
rest
of
the
road
is
a
gravel
road
and
further
up
the
road
or
rural
residential
uses.
If
you
look
Stoke
over
here,
starting
at
the
where
the
gravel
ends
and
the
pavement
begins
just
below
the
picture,
you
can
still
see
it's
relatively
real
in
nature
and
partially
forested.
C
The
City
of
Ottawa
did
an
employment
land
study
and
this
is
the
2012
update.
As
you
can
see
in
the
chart
on
the
left.
It
shows
vacant
employment,
land
in
the
row
and
urban
area,
so
44%
is
vacant
in
the
rural
area
and
56%
is
vacant
in
the
urban
area,
and
just
the
note
it
says
it
includes
existing
industrial
and
business
parts.
Another
statistic
that
came
from
the
study
on
the
right
hand
side
is:
there
is
a
36
year.
C
C
To
summarize,
the
presentation
and
industrial
and
retail
use
is
not
appropriate
for
this
property.
It
would
be
better
suited
in
the
urban
area
or
an
existing
rural
industrial
area.
The
proposed
development
exceeds
the
type
and
extent
of
commercial
development
for
the
rural
area.
It
also
would
be
considered
scattered
development
if
approved
and
will
ultimately
lead
to
Strep
development.
A
You
very
much
for
that
presentation.
Much
appreciated
very,
very
professional
I
have
a
couple
questions,
but
we
do
have
speakers
so
I
think
we
will
hear
the
speakers
and
then
we'll
have
questions.
So
we
have
Janet
Bradley
and
her
group
and
Ms
Brown.
What
we
have
worked
out
with
you
is
that
we'll
give
you
10
minutes,
40
group.
D
Good
morning,
mr.
Chen,
my
name
is
Janet
Bradley
and
I'm.
Speaking
today,
on
behalf
of
the
owner
and
beside
me,
is
bridgett
aljalja,
a
planner
from
McIntosh
Perry.
We
have
in
the
room
Elizabeth
or
Helen,
who
is
the
person
who
prepared
the
economic
impact
statement?
So
if
the
committee
has
any
questions
of
her
she's
available
for
questions
and
after
we're
finished,
we
have
two
representatives
from
John,
Deere
and
Noor
tracks
who
have
proposed
the
proposed
development
and
they're.
D
Here
they
can
make
a
submission
if
you'd
like
to
hear
it,
but
they're
also
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
committee
might
have
of
them
with
respect
to
what
their
plans
are
and
why
this
is
a
perfect
site
for
them.
So
when
my
my
intention
is
now
to
just
do
a
little
overview
and
then
to
turn
it
over
to
Michelle
Chawla,
who
will
provide
more
detailed
planning
a
synopsis.
So
in
a
nutshell,
this
property
is
a
very
unique
and
unusual.
D
It's
called
isolated
even
by
the
planning
staff,
because
it's
surrounded
by
a
trans-canada
highway
highway
7,
that's
now
4
lanes
and
completely
divided.
It's
got
a
major
hydro
corridor
that
goes
through
one
side
of
it
and
it's
got
David
Manchester
Road.
It
has
very
little
vegetation
on
it.
It
has
some
scrub
forestry,
but
not
much.
Most
of
it
is
just
open
space.
It's
vacant,
as
I've
said,
you've
seen
the
pictures
it's
surrounded
by
quarries.
D
It's
got
Capitol
City
Speedway,
it's
got
some
scrap
yards
and
it's
one
of
those
sites
that
we
often
have,
which
there's
virtually
not
much.
You
can
do
with
it.
But
what
does
it
have?
What
makes
this
site
so
unique
and
significant
is
that
it
is
on
this
major
highway.
It
is
very
close
to
an
intersection
with
this
highway
and
it's
location
puts
it
very
close
to
where
416
and
417
can
be
readily
access.
D
Is
this
company
manufacture
here
their
guys,
sell
and
distribute
fairly
heavy
equipment,
and
it
has
to
be
brought
in
in
big
flatbed
trucks
and
from
this
site
they're
going
to
have
a
sale
center
and
a
service
center
and
a
distribution
center
for
a
good
part
of
Eastern
Ontario
and
Western
Quebec?
They
need
to
be
beside
a
kind
of
highway
like
this
and
they
would
like
to
be
in
the
Ottawa
area.
They
don't
have
to
be
in
Ottawa
because
because,
as
I
say,
they're
selling
to
Eastern,
Ontario
and
Questor
in
Quebec,
but
you'll
hear
from
them.
D
They
think
this
site
is
perfect
for
them.
So
we
have
a
use,
that's
perfect!
For
the
site.
We
have
a
site,
that's
perfect
for
the
use
and
I
know
you're
all
thinking.
What,
then,
really,
is
the
planning
issue
like?
Why
is
your
planning
staff
recommending
to
you
that
it
not
be
approved
and
when
I
submit
to
you
on
that?
Is
you
have
this
area?
That's
designated
in
your
Official
Plan
as
rural
natural
features,
because
there
are
many
in
the
greater
area,
but
this
particular
site
doesn't
have
any
natural
features.
D
So
it's
got
a
designation
for
which
it
has
no
attributes
that
respond
to
the
future
and
its
sound
rule
and
most
of
the
uses
that
one
can
put
in
the
rural
area.
You
can't
put
on
this
site
because
you
can't
farm
it.
It's
basically
rock.
It's
got,
there's
very
poor.
You
couldn't
do
any
forestry
operation.
D
Is
that
your
own
natural
features
designation
does
permit
use
like
this,
so
it's
not
a
situation
where
it's
a
prohibited
use.
It's
actually
a
permitted
use
in
your
Official
Plan,
but
it
requires
that,
in
order
for
it
to
be
considered
as
a
use,
you
have
to
go
through
an
analysis
of
road.
There
could
be
any
impact,
and
that
includes
whether
there
could
be
impact
on
the
natural
features
and
there
are
nine
whether
there
could
be
impact
on
traffic
and
the
studies
have
said
no
well.
D
That
could
be
impact
on
anyone
who
lives
in
the
area,
and
you
can
see
nobody's
here
and
there's
nobody
really
that
close
to
the
site,
whether
it's
compatible
with
the
surrounding
area
and
you've,
heard
about
the
quarries
and
the
scrap
yards
and
they
and
their
speedway
and
employment
issues,
and
that
goes
to
your
big
plan.
They're,
like
a
hundred
years
supply,
I'm,
sure
you're,
all
thinking
really.
But
this
site
is
sixty.
D
It's
a
good
use
for
this
particular
site,
and
so
all
of
those
checkboxes
are
we
going
to
impact
anything
of
significance
have
been
studied
and
they
all
have
been
demonstrated
that
there's
going
to
be
no
impact
from
this
particular
type
of
use
and
it's
a
good
use
in
the
rural
economy,
because
it
does
have
big
equipment
that
actually
can
be
used
not
only
for
forestry
and
construction,
but
also
for
big
agricultural
purposes.
And
so
my
overview
and
my
submissions
are.
We
have
a
proposal
and
we
have
a
site.
D
E
So
I'll
just
provide
a
little
bit
more
information.
Some
of
the
beginning
of
mine
is
very
similar
to
laurels,
with
the
purpose
of
the
application,
so
I'll
go
through
that
a
little
bit
quicker,
but
this
just
shows
where
the
site
is
and
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
what
some
of
the
uses
are
that
exists
in
the
area.
E
E
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
taken
the
issues
that
were
identified
by
staff
and
I
just
want
to
briefly
go
over
how
they
were
addressed,
and
so
one
of
the
biggest
ones
was
for
the
rural
natural
features
Erin
as
Janet
noted
development
is
permitted
there
unless
it's
demonstrated
that
same
would
result
a
negative
impact,
but
we
did
do
a
comprehensive
environmental
impact
statement.
We
pre
consulted
with
the
City
of
Ottawa,
the
conservation
authority
and
Emin
are
a
number
of
site.
Visits
were
gone
for
terrestrial
field
visits,
as
well
as
targeted
species
at
risk
surveys.
E
They
were
done
throughout
the
summer.
Nothing
was
found
on
the
site
there,
it's
acknowledged
even
by
city
staff,
that
there
is
pre-existing
fragmentation
on
the
site,
given
the
hydro
corridor,
the
locations
of
the
the
two
roads
that
were
bound
by
and
as
well.
The
EIS
concludes
that
there
was
no
significant
woodlands
present
given
all
of
these
features,
and
so
we
do
have
an
EIS
that
demonstrates
that
there
won't
be
any
major
impacts,
which
is
one
of
the
major
requirements
of
developing
in
the
rural
natural
features,
designation
and
then
you've
seen
this.
E
This
is
our
site
plan.
You
can
see
that
we've
located
the
building
in
an
area.
That's
it
has
very
limited
vegetation
on
it
now,
given
the
formation
of
the
site
and
the
rock
on
the
site,
so
we've
tried
to
locate
things
in
a
way
that
we're
able
to
maintain
much
of
the
vegetation
that
is
on
site
and
we've
located,
where
it's
mostly
it's
described
as
a
cultural
metal,
scrubber
scrubby
brush,
basically
in
the
area
for
the
most
part,
for
the
planning
issues
that
were
identified.
E
Staff
have
noted
that
it's
not
related
to
the
rural
economy
and
what
noir
tracks
does
is
appliance
service
equipment
for
various
royal
sector,
some
of
the
largest,
including
large-scale
agriculture,
forestry
aggregate
resource
management
and
construction.
All
of
these
uses
are
located
in
the
rural
area.
They
have
an
important
impact
on
the
rural
economy
and
for
this
specific
site,
a
lot
of
these
uses
are
located
in
the
immediate
vicinity
as
well.
E
It's
been
noted
that
the
introduction
of
the
industrial
and
retail
use
constitutes
inefficient,
scattered
development.
However,
this
site
will
allow
the
development
to
utilize
existing
infrastructure,
which
includes
the
major
interchange
of
the
highways
and
as
well
as
I'll,
demonstrate
further
on
it's
located
in
close
proximity
to
a
number
of
other
commercial
and
industrial
uses,
and
this
site
was
actually
selected
after
an
extensive
search.
That's
taken
about
three
years
for
them
to
find
a
site
in
the
city
of
Ottawa.
E
There
was
also
the
issue
of
traffic
flow
patterns
brought
up
and
that
the
major
concern
was
for
retail,
but
the
retail
component
of
this
use
is
actually
quite
small
and
it
largely
takes
place
off-site
in
that
the
north
track
salesman
traveled
to
their
clients
to
sell
them
the
equipment.
It's
not
so
much
that
someone's
coming
in
to
the
facility
on
a
regular
basis
to
purchase.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
some
of
the
surrounding
land
uses.
You
have
the
play
value
toys.
You
can
see
them
here
in
the
capital
city.
There's
an
asphalt
plant
there's
another
heavy
equipment
manufacturing.
The
metal
scrap
yard
is
directly
across
the
highway
and
if
you
move
further
to
the
north,
you'll
have
the
city's
new
snow
storage.
There's
the
waste
management
facility.
There
was
an
existing
John
Deere
facility,
the
Front's
on
to
the
highway
as
well
as
earthmovers.
E
So
it
will
continue
to
bring
people
from
outside
the
region
into
the
city,
and
no
tracks
is
advised
that,
while
their
clients
are
here,
they're
also
visiting
and
frequenting
other
city
establishments
and
bringing
business
as
well
there.
And
so
this
is
just
some
of
the
elevations.
They
can
see
what
we're
proposing
it's
a
highly
design
building
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can
provide
some
visually
pleasing
building.
That
will
improve
the
streetscape
in
the
area.
A
D
We
do
have
two
representatives
from
john
deere
indoor
tracks
here
who
can
speak
to
this?
It's
not
the
will
of
the
committee.
If
they
would
like
to
hear
from
them.
There
they're
both
happy
to
speak.
I'm
sure.
There's
none
of
the
members
on
the
committee.
That's
never
heard
of
john
tear,
but
anyway
they
they
would
be
happy
to
discuss
their
proposal.
Thank.
F
F
I
met
with
with
the
landowner
and
I
had
asked
him
if
it's
possible
to
through
expand
on
the
frontage,
though
that
there
on
the
front
of
their
highway
70
and
provide
a
larger
trees
and
their
grace
accept
that
and
I
know.
This
is
not
part
of
the
zone
today,
but
at
least
for
the
future,
they
have
agreed
to
have
the
larger
tree.
So
it
still
have
a
beautiful
entrance
to
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
they
agree
to
that
as
well.
Yeah.
E
That's
correct:
we
have
submitted
a
landscape
plan
to
the
city
and
we
will
be
revising
it
after
the
outcome
of
those
discussions
and
we'll
be
basically
putting
in
pits
currently
on
the
site.
The
reason
there's
a
lack
of
vegetation
is
there
rocks
and
it
doesn't
support
the
trees
so
we'll
be
putting
in
pits
that
can
support
the
large
tree
plantings,
both
coniferous
and
deciduous,
as
asked
for
by
staff.
Okay,.
F
A
D
Okay,
so
it
says
so
all
the
way
to
Nappanee,
and
then
it
goes,
it
does
Western
go
back
up
to
them
to
the
Pontiac
as
well,
and
so
it's
a
sale
center.
So
there
will
be
some
of
the
equipment
that
they
sell
will
be
on
the
site.
It's
a
service
center,
so
the
equipment
can
be
serviced
there
and
it
also
distributes
throughout
all
of
that
part
of
Eastern
Ontario
in
western
Quebec.
Okay,.
A
F
F
Think
couple
years
ago
we
had
the
same
situation
with
the
plate
value
and
if
you
drive
today,
you
see
how
beautiful
that
building
is
and
how,
how
creating
job
and
that
there
and
I
know
if
you
look
across
the
street
where
it's
allowed
across
the
highway
you'll
see
there
the
the
toad
the
toad
business
I'm
now
they're
stacking,
the
buses,
three
three
four
Street
high.
So
if
I,
if
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
entrance
or
the
gateway
to
the
city,
I
will
be
happy
to
see
what
they
had.
F
F
And
in
the
past,
as
you
know,
we
have
one
resident
who
opposed
the
play
value
and
they
asked
for
the
traffic
to
be
directed
basically
south,
so
they
don't
lose
David
Manchester
as
a
route
for
them
and
we
comply
with
that.
Even
we
ask
the
trucks
who
have
been
there
forever
because
of
the
quarry.
We
ask
them
to
to
go
south
for
Cisco
and
north
and
they
comply
with
that.
Is
that
correct,
correct.
C
David
Manchester
is
not
a
designated
truck
route,
so
a
condition
for
the
previous
site
is
that
the
trucks
have
to
once.
They
leave
the
site
directly
head
south
on
David
Manchester
back
to
Hazeldine
and
divert
to
whoever
they're
going.
If
this
application
is
approved,
a
similar
condition
would
be
imposed
on
the
site
plan
that
they
are
to
go
no
farther
than
the
john
deere
site
until
a
route
back
to
Hazeldine
and
highway
7
and.
A
A
A
C
C
A
A
But
we
do
have
to
be
considerate
of
the
fact
that
sometimes
you
have
to
locate
for
a
business
where
it
is
feasible
to
be,
and
from
kind
of
it
from
the
presentation
was
made
by
the
speakers
and
yourself
I.
Think
to
that
this.
If
we're
looking
in
a
perfect
world,
this
would
be
a
perfect
place
to
put
this
business
because
of
its
access
to
the
major
roads.
A
I
think
the
councillor
deputy
mayor
essentially
raised
this
when
we're
looking
at
the
Official
Plan
that
sometimes
the
figures
are
are
questionable
and
I.
Think
in
cases
like
this,
sometimes
we
have
to
look
at
where
in
fact
might
be
the
best
place
to
to
cite
the
location.
So
I
I
appreciate
your
your
inputs
and,
and
your
presentation
was
very
professional-
I'm,
not
sure
we
agree
so
I'm
I
don't
have
any
other
questions
get
in.
F
There
I
sent
your
first
of
all
mr.
Sherr.
Thank
you
for
those
insight
question
to
the
staff
and
I
want
to
thank
staff.
Also,
we
might
not
agree
but
I
just
wanna
say
thank
you
for
nor
I
mean
mr.
moody
for
being
available
to
answer
any
question
we
have
about
this
side
and
and
as
we
go
through
the
report,
mr.
chair
in
hand
side.
Yes,
it's
great
to
have
it,
but
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
to
John
Deere
we're
happy
and
grateful.
F
They
choose
our
city
to
be
in
it
because
we
all
know
john
deere
is
a
brand.
You
can
you
know
if
you
wanted
you're
gonna
go
no
matter
where
it's
located,
you're
gonna
go
and
for
the
location,
but
and
we're
grateful
to
to
have
them
in
our
city
in
our
boundary.
When
we're
talking
about
15
acres
of
land,
we
all
know
that's
not
going
to
be
possible
to
be
by
Bayshore
or
Canada.
F
So
we
understand
it
has
to
be
some
way
and
what
better
fit
for
John
Deere
business
than
a
rural
area
to
BM
and
to
create
that
that
kind
of
construction,
money
and
and
development
charge
and
employment
for
that
area.
I
cannot
be
more
than
happy
to
support
this
application.
So
mr.
chair
and
my
colleague
I
would
I
would
ask
you.
I
know
that
the
poetry,
the
agricultural
fair
committee
that
came
at
Council
refused
and
a
man
that
I
would
like
to
switch.
A
There
are
three
farm:
implement
dealerships,
side-by-side,
John,
Deere
and
I
can't
remember
the
other
two,
so
III
think
that
we
have
to
do.
We
have
to
take
a
look
at
that
I
think
it's
very
important
as
the
counselor.
Definitely
Austin
Kerry
said
that
it
is
important
rural
employment
for
the
for
the
rural
sector
and
I
think
that
it
bodes
well
that
we
have
business
like
this
willing
to
set
up
shop
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
A
We
hear
all
the
time
that
businesses
are
moving
out
because
of
high
development
charges
and
high
taxes,
but
it's
great
to
see
someone
moving
in
to
the
area.
It
would
be
part
of
the
city
and
the
world
Royal
economy
both
for
Ottawa
and
to
the
outskirts
of
the
city.
So
with
that
said,
I
certainly
would
ask
you
to
support
this
motion.
B
A
A
It's
remark
yes,
mr.
chair,
for
purposes
of
clarity.
If
the
committee
is
going
to
approve
the
rezoning,
it
should
be
specified
as
to
what
it's
going
to
be,
and
so
my
suggestion
is
it
be
that
agricultural
affairs
committee
recommend
council
approve
an
amendment
to
a
man,
zoning
bylaw,
2008,
254,
190
man,
David
Manchester,
wrote
to
RG
to
prevent
heavy
equipment.
F
F
A
A
A
So
that's
yes,
just
on
on
item
number
six,
as
the
report
is
cleared
as
amended.
Okay,
we
had
suspended
the
rules
to
deal
with
the
support
for
a
feed-in
tariff
program,
application
for
on-farm
biogas
projects.
Mr.
moody,
would
you
be
prepared
to
just
to
give
a
brief
what
what
that
means,
because
some
people
might
not
be
sure,
certainly.
B
B
The
additional
benefit
is
that
there
is
a
certain
heat
that
the
the
manure
goes
through,
that
the
certain
temperature
that
the
Monaro
reaches,
that
that
does
kill
any
pathogens
that
may
be
in
that
manner
as
well.
So
there's
some
significant
environmental
benefits
to
to
this
process,
and
we
do
have
a
couple
of
these
facilities
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
two
applications
that
are
before
you
are
lying
to
the
fit
3.0
program
and
we've
had
a
number
of
solar
type
projects
come
before
this
committee
in
the
past.
B
These
are
biogas
project,
so
they
are
different
than
solar
and
what
they're
looking
to
do
is
expand
their
existing
generating
capacity,
so
they're
not
expanding
the
whole
facility.
It's
expanding
the
generators
putting
in
a
new
motor
to
capture
additional
gas,
that's
currently
being
flared
off
from
those
facilities
in
order
to
generate
more
electricity
for
the
grid.
A
A
So
I'll
just
read
this
section.
That
is
important,
therefore
be
resolved
at
Agriculture
and
Rural
Affairs
Committee
recommend
console
approve
the
individual
motion
of
support
for
the
application
of
on-farm
biogas
projects
for
the
fit
3.0
program,
as
listed
as
appended
appendices
a
and
B
attached.
So
that's
moved
by
Councillor
vice-chair
blade.
So
is
that
carried.
C
A
A
We
have
not
received
any
notices
of
motions,
will
move
to
the
inquiry
section
and
I
just
had
one
and
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
attention
of
perhaps
mr.
moody.
There
is
an
issue
that
has
arisen
in
rural
areas,
specifically
in
Osgood
Ward,
but
I
think
just
pertains
to
the
areas.
A
number
of
rural
residents
have
a
part-time
job
driving
school
buses
and
the
bylaw
precludes
buses
from
being
parked
in
lane
ways
in
villages
and
I
guess
that
sort
of
has
over
the
past
number
of
years
has
there
have
been
no
issues.
A
A
Working
around
this
or
revisiting
that
by
law,
because
it
is
a
really
serious
issue
that
is
just
coming
to
to
my
attention
and
probably
will
come
to
other
people's
attention,
because
there
are
a
whole
host
of
people
who
work
part-time.
The
companies
can't
have
these
people
come
to
the
yard
to
pick
up
their
buses
for
a
number
of
reasons.
So
I
just
asked
that
if
you
could
take
that
as
a
direction
to
work
with
your
staff
and
by
law
to
see
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
to
resolve,
that.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you,
mr.
chair
and
I'd,
be
happy
to
set
up
a
meeting
between
yourself
and
myself
and
Lance
Ned
and
whose
group
would
look
after
the
zone
and
from
a
policy
perspective,
because
I
think,
if
to
get
to
where
you
need
to
go,
what
we
would.
What
we
would
we
would
be
required
to
do
is
amend
the
zoning
bylaw
to
permit
school
buses
to
be
parked
in
that
in
those
villages
and
there's
a
public
consultation
process
associated
with
that
yeah.
A
So
the
next
meeting,
mr.
moody,
a
little
port
I
guess
with
the
timing,
because
because
of
the
the
Christmas
schedule
and
the
the
delay
of
putting
a
meeting
near
the
end
of
January,
and
then
we
would
have
another
meeting
within
probably
a
week
and
a
half
or
two
weeks
in
February.
So
have
you
been
able
to
resolve
this?
Or
should
we
leave
this
just
two
to
be
announced
date
for
our
next
meeting?.
B
Mr.
chair
I
think
that
you
know
we
should
be
looking
to
our
next
skipper.
You
learn
your
scheduled
meeting
and
there
may
be
an
opportunity,
a
requirement
still
to
be
determined
for
a
special
meeting
to
deal
with
one
particular
item,
we're
currently
working
with
legal
and
an
award
counselor
to
try
to
determine
if
that
special
meeting
is
required
in
order
to
in
order
to
bring
forward
a
position
to
this
committee
for
consideration.
