Drumm wants to have mndustrial land rezoned CONT'D PROM PG. 2 CPR main line to the in- dustrial park on the south side of Burns Street. The spur line was neyer built. Tricont is proposing to build 145,000 square feet of industrial space in five buildings over the course of a three or four-year period. An overaîl site plan has been prepaired by the developer. A town report said that the developers buildings would have a "imore practical width and better traffic flow if they pruchased the 41-foot strip of land. " Area resident, councillor Joe Drumm, told the com- mittee that the residents of the area were under the im- pression that the land behind their homes would always remain parkland. "We just don't want fac- tories within 100 feet of us," said Drumm. The East Ward councillor explained that residents moved into the area knowing that factories existed close to their homes on Hopkins Street, but assumed that th land behind their homes would remain a park. Drumm said this belief was furtehr strengthened when the town planted $5,000 worth of trees on the proper- ty three y'ears ago. The committee recom- mended that a motion Drumm introduced which would see the land rezoned for parkland use, go back to town staff for further study.
