Council has already agreed with a planning commitice recom- mendation the lane be closed, But before the necessary by-law is passed, a public input session has to be held. That's scheduled for the Monday, Aug, 22 council meeting. Last week counciliors gave preliminary approval to another pro- posed lane closure, this one requested by Donald Petitpas of Ter- race Transmission. Petitpas wants to purchase the approximately 20ft, lane between his 4419 Legion property and Dave’s Plumb- ing next door. Parking deal suggested AMEMBER of council has suggested the city take a closer look at a chamber of commerce idea for salving parking problems in the downtown, area. David Hull said the public works department should examine the feasibility of the city converting empty lots in the downtown core into public parking sreas. Since paving would be too ex- pensive, the upgrade on the lots would be confined to gravelling and grading, The city would not buy the lots but instead come to some sort of lease agreement. Hull added a chamber suggestion of giving the owner a tax break was not possible under the Municipal Act. While unsure if the concept would prove feasible, he said it was at least worth looking into. Talstra rezone passed COUNCIL HAS given the go-ahead on a rezone request by Five . Star Properties, a company owned by mayor Jack Talstra and wife Hilda. The rezone from Al Rural (minimum lot size 5 acres) to Hural Suburban allows Five Star to create five lots out of a 1.4ha parcel off McConnell Crescent in the continued expansion of the Spring Creek sub-division. in making the application, Talsita submitted a public letter to council advising his ownership. He has also absented himself from council meetings at which the matter bas been dealt with. The planning committee is now considering a rezone application for 4630 Park Ave. Currently designated R2 residential, the ap- plicant wants thats witched to commercial to allow a business to be established in the existing house. The area is carmarked for commercial-residential mix in the Of- ficial Community Plan but the by-law regulations establishing that new type of zone are not yet in place.
