"This application is prema- turc under the Aggregatc Resources Act," Taylor argued. This sentiment was echocd in a staff report to the commit- tee, which said ifs too early to deal with ARA matters while there's still further technical and planning information needed regarding the expansion. Burlington Councillor Carol D'Amelio threw her support bchind Taylor's motion. "Wc can't go anywhere (with the application) without having more information," she said. Rcgional council will consid- er the recommendation from the committcc Wedncsday.
