(d) Gerry Hasiuk, Box 722, Colbourne, KOK 1S0
_ re: Report PSD-020-03 stated that his property is not a
transport depot but rather a Trailer Leasing Company.
Mr. Hasiuk stated the zoning of M2 was sufficient when he
moved in and wondered why he would need a site plan if
there were no major changes to the property. In his
estimation, there is not a serious traffic problem because
most of the traffic is during off hours. He supports a
reduction in the height of the berm as well as a temporary
entrance as part of the site plan.
Councillor Schell chaired this portion of the meeting.
