The Mayor called for members of the public to speak against the re- zoning with the following presenting with the use of slides. Gordon Dalzell, 32 Dorothea Drive, also representing Saint John Citizens Coalition for Clean Air, referred to increased adverse effect to the environment from truck emissions if the re-zoning were to be approved. Terry Gray, 19 Nicolle Road, objected to the noise and odor caused by the activity of gravel pits in the area and noted that the ability for residents of the area in question to enjoy their neighbourhood would be further diminished with additional activity in the area. He also made reference to the road shoulders which are not wide enough to adequately accommodate trucks, presenting a safety issue. Odette McGrath, 31 Lackie Road, spoke of the inadequate air filtration because of clear cutting, failure to rehabilitate former pits, and the decrease in the value of homes in the area due to the existence of pits. Margaret Dube, 1330 Grandview Avenue, expressed her concern for the wetlands and fish habitat in the area should the re-zoning be approved. Stewart Jamieson, MLA for Saint John Fundy advised Council that he had heard the concerns of the citizens in this area saying that they were asking for one pit to be closed and rehabilitated before the opening of another and asked Council not to approve the re-zoning. The Mayor called for members of the public to speak in favor of the re- zoning with the following presenting: Stephen Langille commented that at present there is a decrease in the number of trucks hauling from the Latimore Lake area, as most of the aggregate is transported from outside the City via Loch Lomond Road. He explained that Fundy Bay Holdings is 100% owned by his father and that Fundy Bay Sand and Gravel Inc. is owned by his brother and himself and their wives. He introduced several truck drivers who will gain employment with the re-zoning in question. He also noted that all the requirements and conditions listed in the Planning Advisory Report are met. David Boudreau, an employee of Fundy Bay Sand and Gravel assured Council that the truck drivers employed by that firm receive safety training, obey the speed limit and are safe drivers. He stated that he is proud to be an employee of the firm and that the truck drivers need the employment which will be provided with the re- zoning. Mr. Baird responded to several questions from Councillors, noting that all the criteria for Pits and Quarries are being adhered to in this instance; adding that there are additional conditions that Council could impose to enhance the situation, citing the marking of trucks in order that they be easily identifiable as an example. He also advised Council that if an operation violates the terms and conditions of the re-zoning agreement, that the zoning can be reverted. On motion of Councillor Trites Seconded by Councillor Ball RESOLVED that the By-law entitled, "By-law Number C.P. 100-632, A By-law To Amend The Zoning By-law Of The City Of Saint John" by re-zoning an area of land located at 475 Latimore Lake Road, (being portions of PID Numbers 335034,327106 and 421727) having an area of approximately 40 hectares, from "RS-1 M" One and Two Family and Mobile Home Suburban Residential and "RS-1" One and Two Family Suburban Residential to "PQ" Pits and Quarries be read a first time.
