East, Courtice, LIE 286, appeared on behalf of the applicant and raised concerns with respect to Section 9.2 of Report PD-2-93 which states that cul-de-sacs should not be allowed in future subdivision proposals due to snow storage and equipment movement problems.

He wishes to establish the proposed veteranarian clinic in the Village of Newcastle so that in future he can practice on small animals. He indicated that there are no other verterinarian clinics in Newcastle Village and it is not his intent to house animals overnight other than the occasional instance when a sick animal may require overnight treatment.

(d) (e) (0 Murray 'M~MiJI'm> 6353 Leskard Road, Orono, LOB lMO - was called but was not present. Ian 'M........h General U_a_ KaWBrtba RPginn Conservation Authority ~ ~....., , Kenrei Park Road, R.R. #1, Lindsay, K9V 4R1- addressed Committee with respect to the construction of a new Conservation Authority Office Building and their 1993 budget. Mr. Macnab indicated that since 1980 the Authority has been renting 1,000 sq. ft. of office space in Fenelon Falls. However, a decision was recently made to go ahead with a new office facility. After looking at various alternatives, the building of a new facility on the Authority's property north of Lindsay was decided to be the best option. The construction of the office and a small out-building has added no additional burden to the municipal levy. For 1993 it is anticipated that Provincial funding will increase slightly (2.3%) but will remain below the 1991 level. The Authority generated revenue is expected to decrease by 16.9% in 1993 compared to 1992. The result of the lower Authority revenue and minimal change in Provincial funding means that the municipal levy must increase by 6% in 1993 to support a minimal budgetary increase of 1.6% over 1992 or 0.7% over 1991. Cathy Ferguson and Deb Butson, 4'195 Trulls Road, Hampton, LOB lJO - appeared before Committee in opposition to the recommendations contained in Report PD-6-93.
