MeetinQ Called To Order
Deputy Mayor McAlary called the meeting to order, and advised that the
purpose of this special meeting of the Common Council is to consider a resolution to
cancel the public hearing scheduled for February 27, 1995 on proposed Municipal Plan
and Zoning By-Law amendments for a sanitary landfill site at Crane Mountain, and to
schedule a public hearing in this regard for a later date.
Municipal Plan Amendment And
Re-ZoninQ Crane Mountain Site
Consideration was given to a report from the Planning Advisory
Committee explaining why it is unable to submit a recommendation to Council on the
application of Fundy SWAT for a Municipal Plan amendment and re-zoning for a
sanitary landfill site at Crane Mountain and a Zoning By-Law text amendment, and why
it has instructed staff to schedule the continuation of the Committee's meeting for a
date in late March; and recommending that the public hearing scheduled to occur on
Monday, February 27, 1995 be cancelled and a new advertised public hearing be
scheduled by Council for a later date.
On motion of Councillor Coughlan
Seconded by Councillor Knibb
RESOLVED that the February 27, 1995
public hearing of the application of Fundy SWAT for Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law
amendments for a sanitary landfill site at Crane Mountain on Highway 7 at the
intersection of Highway 177, be cancelled, with the necessary advertising authorized
for a public hearing in this regard on Tuesday, April 18, 1995 at 4:00 o'clock p.m.
During discussion the Deputy Mayor, a member of the Planning Advisory
Committee, elaborated on the Planning Advisory Committee's reason for the above
request; and the mover and seconder of the proposed motion agreed to set a 4:00
o'clock p.m. time for the April 18 public hearing of the above matter in view of the
suggestion that, by so doing, it would provide a longer period of time for those
concerned to address Council. Councillor A Vincent expressed opposition to
commencing the April 18 meeting at 4:00 o'clock p.m. in that some people cannot get
off work at that time, and suggested that the meeting should be held at 7:00 o'clock
p.m. as is normally done for public hearings.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillor A Vincent
voting "nay".
