October 6th, 1975

stated he felt a date could be set - possibly three weeks or a month
hence - as the work could be done in some period during that time;
however, Alderman Laking pointed out that the Industrial Committee

cannot act until Alderman Traboulay's return. A Brief from Mr. Charles
Hughes, October 3rd, 1975, and letters from Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Tyler and
Sidney J. and Mavis E. Taylor, October 6th, 1975, were then submitted
expressing concern at the proximity of the proposed industrial development
to residences in the area and Mr. Taylor advised that about four years

ago his property located at 1926 Ryan Street, which had been comprised

of ten 33' lots, was apparently changed to five 66' lots. Mr. Hughes

stated he felt that residents in the area South of McLean, West of
Broadway and generally up to Morgan Avenue and East of Pitt River Road
should be canvassed as to their views on the matter. Mayor Campbell
advised that the Council has decided to hold another Public Hearing as
the residents affected have not had enough time to get involved and that
they would be kept informed on the work of the Planning & Zoning and
Industrial Development Committees in that regard. Alderman Mabbett
inquired as to the width of the green strip between the end of the last
Industrial building in the proposed development and the residential area
and Alderman Thompson affirmed his understanding that it would be 80'.
Alderman Mabbett stated his understanding that an M-3 zone allows a
buildings of a 40' maximum height to be constructed, and that he felt
this aspect should be looked into. Alderman Ranger pointed out that
there is no land zoned M-3 at present except the "Huntington" site on
Davies Avenue and Council has full control as it was his recollection
that the site is to be developed by way of a Land Use Contract; however,
the Planning Officer advised that the application was for rezoning, not
a Land Use Contract. Mr. H. Nemtin, representing the applicant, pointed
out that there are some time factors to consider with the winter season
approaching, and inquired what could be done to hasten processing of the
application. Mr. Hughes stated he felt that time should be taken for
discussion as the development will have a severe affect on surrounding
residents. Alderman Ranger pointed out that the area in question is in
the flood plain; however, the City Engineer advised that these particular
lands will not be affected by flood plain requirements. Mr. Nemtin
advised he would be happy to meet with people in the area and make
whatever information his firm has available to then.
