A public meeting was held on an application submitted by Tulloch Geomatics Inc. on behalf of Degagne Carpentry. The applicants are applying to rezone a parcel of land from the exiting Hamlet Residential Zone (RH) to a General Commercial Zone (C1). Steve McArthur presented the application to the Committee. The applicants intend to market the land with no current intended use.  

Committee members had questions about light pollution, traffic flow, housing supply, and contamination on the site. Director of Community Service advised a Site Plan Control Agreement would address the Committees concerns. Director of Community Services advised that there is no evidence of contamination on the site based on the studies the municipality has completed. 

The North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority has no objection to the application. The size of the septic system will depend on the commercial use of the property. 

Nicholas Brazeau submitted comments containing concerns with the application. Whitney Delaney submitted comments objecting to the application.  Director of Community Services read the comments to the Committee as they were received after the agenda package was published. 

No public input was received at the public hearing and the application was approved.
