2000 feet to the west of hwy 48 is best as a trailer storage business the land is not good for farming and lacks agricultural quality and the trailer business would be good economics for the town he said but ward 2 councillor ron robb wondered why the businessman who has reportedly been operating the trailerrbusiness for some time is now cpming forward to legalize the operation this operation has been there for a while so what prompted you to come forward now councillor robb inquired did you just take it for granted you could do whatever you wanted on the property mr robb asked the owner the owner accompanying mr alcorn said the reason he came forward for an amendment now is because he recently received a summons of improper use and mr alcorn said there should be no concerns about trailers entering or leaving the property as nearly 12000 vehicles use bloomington daily bloomington is a very busy important truck route and my client would like an exception to carry on a trailer rental business involving 40foot trailers mr alcorn said he has stored them there in the past when carrying on the pit operation four years ago and wants to have the zoning bylaw modified to allow this use the property has been used as a trailer business which is not allowed under the official plan states a staff report but mr alcorn said the official plan is not perfect and does not plan ahead but director of planning michael saunders said the application constitutes bad planning and does not keep in line with existing rural uses in the neighborhood although the ministry of natural resources and the regional- commission of engineering have no major concerns with the business mr saunders said it sends a signal to the public that similar uses in the neighborhood are acceptable mr saunders warned council that approval would besomewhat precedentsetting other people could come in and ask special requests too but mayor fran saihsbury said having this type of business is a better tradeoff than having one operating that could contaminate the environment the planning committee supported mr saunders recommendations to not support the amendment to the official plan but suggested
