Mr. Nugent stated that although it is unlikely that a Council member would be disqualified from participating in the public hearing process for expressing his or her tentative views, he advised that it could raise suspicions that the Council member's opinions are predetermined or biased. Mr. Nugent recommended that members of Council wait until the public hearing process has concluded before expressing opinions. 10.1 Presentation publique relative a la modification proposee du plan municipal visant le chemin Sandy Point Une presentation publique est donnee relativement au projet de modification du plan d'amenagement municipal afin de faire passer la designation a I'annexe 2 -A du plan d'une parcelle de terre situee au sud -est du chemin Sandy Point, entre I'avenue University et le zoo Cherry Brook, dune superficie d'environ 6,5 hectares, etant une portion des NID 55059018, 55020770, 55059158, 00051383, 55196430, 55196380, 55059034, 55059026 et 55059067, de zone d'espaces Iibres a zone residentielle a faible densite; d'une parcelle de terre situee au 999, chemin Sandy Point, dune superficie d'environ 3 000 metres carres, etant une portion du NID 55058952 et une portion du chemin Sandy Point, de zone d'espaces Iibres a zone residentielle de densite moyenne; d'une parcelle de terre, situee entre le chemin Sandy Point et la promenade Samuel Davis, dune superficie d'environ 13,2 hectares, etant une portion du NID 00052548, de zone residentielle a faible densite a zone d'espaces Iibres.
