had to object to more development controls by city council And the city clciks office has received number of strongobjcctions The reason is Bylaw 7010 which was passed by council July 26 1970 It is an emciidmciit to the ci tys zoning bylaw to include Section 33 at of the Ontario PlanningAct It will provide stronger development controls in Barrie Section 33 gives the mu nicipal government the

trol removal of snow from driveways offstreet parking requirements conveyance to the city without cost of easements floodlighting walls fences hedges and gradingchanges The bylaw states that no development or rttltvtltipllltlll of land or buildings shall take place in the city where as con ditioii of development or redevelopment of any land or buildings the council prohibits or requires the provision maintenance and use of the facilities and matters This is for all industrial com mercial and residential zoned property The Greater Barrie hamber of ommercc is objecting for number of reasons to the bylaw and its controls The chamber says the bylaw gives council wide powers to allow developments or disallow it anywhere in the city but does not set any guidelines on how the powers
