Mr. Sam Gust addressed the Mayor and Members of Council regarding Plsn of Subdivision IST-S700S and stated that his complaint with respect to the interpretation of the Development Charges By-law is two-fold, namely: 1. The subdivision agreement was originally submitted to the Town in June 1990. The P1snning Department was in the process of reviewing the agreement and was corresponding with the engineers. Subsequently, the P1snning Department advised that they were withdrawing the old agreement to be replaced with a new format. Mr. Gust states that he was never informed of a March 1991 deadline. 2. P1snning Staff advised Mr. Gust that it is Town policy that lots for which lot levies have been paid under the former policy are exempt from further charges under the new by-law. This policy, however, does not appear to be included in the Town's By-law. He indicates that if the by-law were corrected to include the policy, there would be no further charges applicable to his lots which were created before the passing of the by-law and for which all the levies have been paid. Stephen Chait, Stephen Chait Consultants Ltd, presented to Council the Economic Strategy Stage 2 Report: The Recommended Strategy. He indicated that the Town's local economic objectives should be as follows: 1. Job Retention; 2. Job Attraction and Creation; 3. Increased Taxable Assessment; and 4. Removal of Barriers to Investment and Renewal Also, the Town must create a positive, pro-active, supportive municipal environment by committing to an economic vision for Newcastle, dedication to providing superior service at reasonable costs and paying attention to providing competitively superior infrastructure to sustain economic development. Mr. Chait closed his presentation by outlining a proposed economic development function organizational option which would be effective in implementing the economic development strategy. ~ . .
