Written Submissions:

None.

Submissions from the floor:

Ms. Natasha Moore, #105 13931 Sparwood Place, a small automotive business, put the following three questions forward: i) would traffic be affected with regards to access to Sparwood Place; ii) would construction vehicles utilize Sparwood Place to access No. 6 Road; and iii) would 13931 Sparwood Place, which currently has no on-street parking allowed in front of the premises, be impacted, when development occurs, by the removal of the on-street parking currently allowed further down Sparwood Place.

Mr. Kai Kreuchen, the Ditton Group, Land Use Consultants, read a letter which is attached as Schedule 4 and forms a part of these minutes. The letter was intended to be a criticism of the process as Mr. Kreuchen felt that the two remaining Sparwood Place property owners would incur considerable negative impact as a result of the proposed rezoning.

Mr. Rick Bos, representing S-8025 Holdings Ltd., responded to Ms. Moores question pertaining to construction vehicle access by providing the information that construction vehicles would utilize Wireless Way and Commerce Parkway when accessing the site.

It was moved and seconded

That the Public Hearing on Zoning Amendment Bylaw 7274 be reconvened at a future date in order that assurance could be provided that other property owners were not prevented from developing their properties.

As a result of the ensuing discussion Resolution PH09-07 was WITHDRAWN.

It was moved and seconded

That Zoning Amendment Bylaw 7274 be given second and third readings with direction to staff that a report be provided as part of the required road exchange requirement, prior to adoption, on the issues of access and servicing for the two properties located at the west end of Sparwood Place.

CARRIED

It was moved and seconded
