9.3 Proposed Zoning ByLaw Amendment — 2240 Red Head Road
9.3.1 Planning Advisory Committee Report recommending Decision be Held
Pending Additional Information
The Common Clerk advised that the necessary advertising was completed with regard to
amending Schedule "A ", the Zoning Map of The City of Saint John, by re- zoning a parcel
of land having an area of approximately 1.5 hectares, located at 2240 Red Head Road,
also identified as being PID Numbers 00337022, 55050892 and a portion of PID Number
55183800, from "RFM" Rural Mobile Home to 1 -2" Heavy Industrial with no written
objections received.
Consideration was also given to a report from the Planning Advisory Committee
submitting a copy of planning staff's report considered at its July 16, 2013 meeting at
which time the Committee tabled the application to allow staff to gather more information
on the sign with regards to design, location, potential impact on neighboring properties;
and to gather information on the access road with regards to construction and design.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak against the amendment with Mr.
David Griffin of 1315 Red Head Road indicating that he was neither for or against the
amendment. He suggested that Irving should be penalized for erecting a sign without
the proper authorization in the form of a donation to Romero House.
Ms. Cheryl Armstrong of 2257 Red Head Road spoke against the proposed amendment
noting that she opposed the placement and size of the signage adjacent to her property.
She stated that the sign was erected prior to the scheduled Planning Advisory
Committee meeting.
Referring to an emergency access road, Ms. Armstrong indicated that this road has
been used for several years as an everyday access road and expressed frustration that
the signage and the access road were put in place prior to the proper permits or zoning
being granted.
Ms. Theresa Debly of 130 Debly Avenue spoke against the amendment and objected to
the proposed rezoning change to a heavy industrial zone given its proximity to
residential homes. She suggested that given the fact the sign has been erected and the
access road is being used daily, that the applicant is not taking the processes of the City
seriously and expected the proposal to be rubber stamped.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak in favor of the amendment with Mr
Rick Turner of Hughes Surveys and Consultants appearing on behalf of the applicant,
Cobalt Properties. Mr. Hughes indicated that they are in agreement with the staff
recommendation, adding that they respect the wish of PAC to obtain more information
and Council to defer its decision at this time.
Responding to the concerns expressed by members of the public, Mr. Turner stated that
during the development phase of Canaport LNG it was identified by provincial authorities
98 -211
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL
JULY 29, 2013/LE 29 JUILLET 2013
that secondary access from the facility was necessary for safety reasons. Mr. Turner
stated that the current zoning of the property went unnoticed by the company, the
province and the City. He explained that recently the company applied for a permit to
allow for landscaping and improvements to the road and that it was during that time that
the error was uncovered.
Referring to the premature placement of the sign, he explained that this was a case of
miscommunication, adding that the company is prepared to apologize for that oversight.
Responding to a question, Mr. David Simond of Irving Oil indicated that the lighting in the
sign could be turned off until the matter is resolved.
Mr. Morgan Lanigan, Chair of the Planning Advisory Committee, noted that the nature of
the application is unusual and advised that PAC did not feel it had sufficient information
at this time to make an appropriate recommendation to Council.

98 -222
COMMON COUNCIL/CONSEIL COMMUNAL

frustration quant au fait que 1'enseigne et la route d'acces aient ete mises en place avant

Iourde en raison de sa proximite avec Ies habitations residentielles. EIIe Iaisse entendre,
etant donne que 1'enseigne a ete installee et que la route d'acces est utilisee
quotidiennement, que le demandeur ne prend pas Ies processus etablis par la Ville au
serieux et qu'il s'attendait a ce que la proposition soit avalisee.
