weather conditions and heavy rain, visit the site if this has not already been done.

Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor A. Vincent
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that the letter from Mr.
Paul Grannan, President of Grannan's Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar, advising that
the City's first-ever Halloween Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk of Market Square last year
turned out to be a huge success, gaining recognition on the A TV News Live at Five and
front page headlines in The Evening Times-Globe newspaper; and requesting that
permission be given once again to hold the event on Saturday, October 30, 1993, and
that, if permission is granted, a letter confirming that permission has been given and
that police will be in attendance so that he may forward this to the Liquor Licensing

Question being taken, the motion was carried.
The Mayor advised that Mr. Totten has asked that Councillor Coughlan's
letter concerning the Galbraith pit and quarry on Ocean Westway be referred to the City
Manager because there are a number of issues to be considered, one being the City's
court action in this regard.
On motion of Councillor Coughlan
Seconded by Councillor McAlary
RESOLVED that the letter from
Councillor Coughlan advising that residents of Ocean Westway have recently
expressed their frustration to him over the re-opening of the Galbraith pit and quarry,
most of the issues of concern being the hours of operation, the number of trucks and
the access to the Galbraith property; and asking if the City Manager could bring Council
up to date on the status of this operation and what means, if any, the City could
undertake to alleviate some of the residents' concerns -- be referred to the City
Manager for a report to Council.
Councillor Coughlan advised that the residents' concerns include
speeding trucks, the number of trucks being utilized, the Throughway, the pending
opening of the quarry, etcetera, and Deputy Mayor McAlary asked that staff in the
anticipated report comment on the matter of the speed limit on Ocean Westway which
includes both 50 and 60 kilometre limits, on the basis that not only are the two speed
limits sign close together but because of the number of trucks in the area, and
suggested that the speed limit could be set at 50 kilometres throughout all of Ocean
Westway.
84-317
COMMON COUNCIL
OCTOBER 18, 1993
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that as recommended by
the City Manager, the tender of B & N Flooring/Coastal Tile Ltd., in the amount of
$14,150 (taxes included), be accepted to provide all necessary labour, materials and
equipment to replace the flooring on the Mall Level of City Hall.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Consideration was given to a report from the City Manager advising that,
further to Council's consideration at its last meeting of Skate To Care '94's request to
use the services at Lily Lake and the Pavilion, the City's cost for the 1992 event totalled
$6,644 for ice preparation and maintenance, parking lot clearing, sanding and salting,
sleigh rides, and the Pavilion rental and, acknowledging that the actual 1994 cost may
vary depending on weather conditions immediately prior to the event, an estimated cost
of $6,000 to $7,000 would appear reasonable; and submitting a recommendation in this
regard.
On motion of Councillor Coughlan
Seconded by Councillor M. Vincent
RESOLVED that as recommended by
the City Manager, the Moosehead Skate To Care '94 be supported and that the costs
incurred by the City be charged directly against the Special Events budget as per
Council's policy.
Councillor Trites, referring to the amount of $1,945 indicated for parking
lot clearing, sanding and salting, expressed the opinion that the amounts indicated by
staff under financial implications in the above report seem to be inflated and bear no
sense of reality at all. Mr. Robichaud advised that the amounts reflect overtime costs
which are not budgeted for and, if not taken from the Special Events Budget, would
result in something being cut from the Operating Budget. Councillor Trites suggested
that, barring a blizzard, most of the clearing could take place during normal hours
through a reallocation of staff; and expressed concern that another group could request
a grant in late November or December in that the budget could be depleted by Council
approving at this time an amount for Skate To Care based on a staff estimate
presupposing what the weather might be like in January, in that an amount of $6,644
would be deleted from the Special Events Budget which could not be used for another
event before the end of this year; however, if it were to be deducted from the 1994
budget, his concern would not be quite the same. Mr. Totten explained that staff would
endeavour to bring in a budget in which one particular item would be identified as
Special Events and that, now in advance in support of Skate To Care, the City of Saint
John will ensure that the facilities are available for the event and, when held, the direct
cost to make those facilities available will be charged against that particular budget,
whether it is $6,000 or depending on the conditions $4,000 or more. Councillor M.
Vincent concurred with the concern about the depletion of the Special Events Budget,
and advised that, while he has no objection to billing of the overtime charges, he has
difficulty if the wages are charged against the event for employees, for a regular day's
work, for example, for ice preparation, as this overprices the event when the City has to
pay those people anyway. The Mayor suggested that staff could provide to Council
members, as an information item at the next meeting, a breakdown of the amounts in
the above report.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor responding to
a Council query of October 12 regarding the proposed re-zoning of 1414 Hickey Road
relevant to a Section 39 condition that the property would revert to its initial zoning if
conditions are not completed by the August 31, 1994 deadline; commenting on Section
39 of the Community Planning Act which allows Council to impose reasonable terms
and conditions to are-zoning, (5) thereof allowing Council to later cancel the Section 39
resolution if the land or a building or structure is "used contrary to the provisions of the
84-318
COMMON COUNCIL
OCTOBER 18, 1993
resolution" which means that, once the resolution is cancelled, the land would revert "to
the type of zone under which it fell before re-zoning upon the filing of a notice of
cancellation in the Registry Office"; and advising that the Community Planning Act also
requires Council to give notice of the cancellation and "take the necessary steps to
have the re-zoning by-law repealed", which requires Council to give the necessary
three readings; and expressing the opinion that, "the necessary steps" include the
views of the Planning Advisory Committee and a public hearing prior to the three
readings. The report also advises that the Community Planning Act also indicates that,
if Council fails to publish the cancellation notice or fails to repeal the re-zoning by-law,
such failure does "not affect the reversion of the land to the type of zone under which it
fell before re-zoning"; consequently, in view of the foregoing, it is his opinion that, from
a strict legal standpoint, Council is only required to cancel the Section 39 resolution and
file the notice of the cancellation in the Registry Office to have the land revert; however,
in such circumstances, the Act seems to encourage Council to take additional steps,
but those steps are not necessary for reverting the land to the "type of zone under
which it fell before the re-zoning".
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor McAlary
RESOLVED that the above report from
the City Solicitor be received and filed.
Councillor Trites suggested that the City should make subsequent
applicants for re-zoning with Section 39 conditions fully aware of the fact that, should
they not live up to those conditions within the time frame, it merely takes Council's
motion to rescind and the properties revert to the original zoning.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
Read a letter from the Common Clerk advising that, following the
procedure for amendments to the Municipal Plan, the necessary advertising and public
presentation regarding the submitted application of Thane Holdings Inc., concerning
the property at 126 Main Street, have been completed, and no written objections have
been received in this regard.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor McAlary
RESOLVED that the application of
Thane Holdings Inc. for a Municipal Plan amendment and re-zoning of 126 Main Street
be referred to the Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation and
that the necessary advertising be authorized in this regard, with the public hearing to be
held on November 22, 1993.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.
On motion of Councillor Knibb
Seconded by Councillor Landers
RESOLVED that the by-law entitled, "A
