Consideration was also given to a report from the Planning Advisory Committee submitting a copy of Planning Staff's report considered at its February 26, 2008 meeting at which the Committee decided to recommend approval as set out in the staff recommendation, to approve the proposed Municipal Plan and Re- zoning amendments of a parcel of land located at 117 Carleton Street as described above with Section 39 conditions. The Mayor called for members of the public to speak against the re- zoning with Lee Jamieson and Paula Afonso, 62 Sewell Street, adjacent to the property in question, presenting an electronic slide presentation showing the inside of their house, garden and driveway. They objected to commercial vehicles using the driveway, stating that it would compromise their quality of life, poor site lines, safety issues and potential for increase of vehicle traffic. 93 -339 COMMON COUNCIL MARCH 3 4, 2008 /LE 3 4 MARS 2008 The following co- workers of Ms. Afonso attested to the positive characters of Ms. Afonso and Mr. Jamieson and their potential contribution to the City as good citizens: Sarah Campbell, 373 Duke Street West, Amy Hogan, 224 Princess Street, Vanessa and Mike Duncan, Pugsley Avenue and Jessica Cameron, 29 Knox Court. Letters from Theresa King and Norman McFarlane of 58 Sewell Street supporting the position of Mr. Jamieson and Ms. Afonso were received by the Clerk. The Mayor called for members of the public to speak in favour of the re- zoning with Mary Eileen Flanagan, 9 Kean Road, owner of the property at 117 Carleton Street advising that her holding company owns this and other properties in the City that she has refurbished. Ms. Flanagan further advised that a right of way is a benefit to her property at 117 Carleton Street and an encumbrance to Mr. Jamieson's and Ms. Afonso's property. She added that her property will be completely refurbished and enhanced to protect the heritage value of the house, and will be occupied by her law firm, Sherwood and Flanagan. Ms. Flanagan stated that the 7 parking spaces that she requires will be diminished with her relocation; that she prefers to have 5; that she would be accepting of the Planning Advisory Committee's recommendation reducing parking spaces to 4, and that she will install landscaping as required. She noted that she does not like the time restriction placed on the right of way. Ms. Flanagan outlined the steps she took to gain another access to her property as well as other alternatives for parking for her staff. She stated that the vehicles which will be using the right of way and parking in the back of her building will not be commercial, but private vehicles owned by herself and her staff, and that the passage on the right of way will for the most part be to arrive and depart from work during normal hours during a normal work week. She pointed out that the use of the right of way by her staff is potentially lower than if the building were occupied by a private residence. On motion of Councillor Chase Seconded by Councillor White RESOLVED that the meeting extend beyond 10:00 p.m. to complete the public hearings, and that the meeting continue at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 in the Council Chamber to complete the agenda.

Rodney McNutt, 109 Union Street, a neighbour of Ms. Flanagan's office, advised that he has co- existed as a residential neighbour of Ms. Flanagan sharing a right of way to their properties, having had a very cooperative and beneficial experience. He stated that no service vehicles used the right of way, and there were no disruptions or incidents. In response to a Council member's question, the City Solicitor advised that Council has the right to define the use of property and impose terms and conditions upon that use, as defined in Section 39 of the Community Planning Act. He further advised that there is a question which he will examine further and report before third reading relating to the nature of the use that represents the travel over a residentially zoned piece of property of traffic that is serving a commercial use.
