73-4-4 '4oved by Councillors Dallas and 13aker that, regarding objections
to the approval of By-law 2508 filed at the office of the Clerk
on 'larch 21 , 19739 this Council' s position retarding each
objection is as follows :
1. In view of the extensive commercial uses of adjacent
and nearby properties , it appears unlikely that the proposed use
would greatly affect values of residential properties.
2. The proposed special zoning is considered to be
desirable in cases such as t�is , since a commercial zoning of
the entire block could lead to a variety of uses , some of which
could be undesirable 'br the view point of owners of residential
properties in the block.
3. It appears to be probable that, when residential
properties in the area are offered for sale , the commercial
nature of the nei_Y_bourhood might enhance values rather than
depreciate the-a.
4. The size of the lot appears to be ample to accom.aodate
the proposed use.
5. It does not appear likely that the proposed use would
add greatly to t>-_e tralf'ic hazard, present or future.
6. It is believed that the proposed type of service store
,could add to tLe sopping convenience of residents of this
Towns:Ap.
7. The site plan submitted by t e applicant is certified
b;, an Ontario Land Surveyor, therefore it is considered to ce a
correct indiction of the lot, as shown in. the 3egistry Office.
8. The site appears to be adecluate in size to accom-iodate
the proposed use.
9. The o:rners of the subject property have surtested that
aderuate scraer_ing could be provided to protect adjo?niJig properties.
10. It is believed that to rezone a large bloc's such as
this would not be good pla;� Ang practice , as it would throw open
the whole block to a variet, of co7:aerci_a.l uses. The proposed
Paae 2 :aril 3, 1: 73 meeting
by-law would restrict use o the lot to a use that appears to be
compatible -J it!: uses on adjacent lots.
It is noted that other businesses now carried on in the
area, would appear likely to contribute :ore to noise and traffic
than the proposed use , and also that t'iey carry on business during
similar hours.
73-4-5 Moved by Councillors =3aker and r:earn tha' this meetin-, now adjourn.
