"We have four municipal plans, a Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) plan, and a strong regional plan. This is overâ€" government." Lambrick objected to several sections of the document, including the defining criteria _ for Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA), which impose restrictions on property owners. He suggested three of the 11 broad based ESA criâ€" teria should exist before an area could be designated. Currently, only one of the 11 need be in place. Seven people addressed the comâ€" mittee to voice their concerns on parts of the plan or wording, although there were more than 100 previous public meetings on the issue, according to planning comâ€" missioner Rash Mohammed. Several speakers praised the efforts of regional officials in trying to effect compromise. Consideration was deferred for two weeks.

A month later, however, staff returned with two other options: process the reâ€"zoning application immediately and let the chips fall where they may or deny it outright based on nonâ€"conformity with the Official Plan. Council asked staff to work with the family to find a new location. Compounding the situation was an order by the Ontario Fire Marshal for Medeiros to upgrade its facility, a request that could cost between $15,000 and $50,000. On Aug.4th of last year, Council asked the family to submit a site specific Official Plan amendment and temporary use zoning to align the property into conformity with the Official Plan and Zoning Byâ€" law. While Monday‘s agreement perâ€" mits the business to continue, it does impose a variety of limits and restrictions on such things as expansion. The family, however, reiterated its position that it has no intention whatsoever to expand but to simply continue business. Monday‘s decision also ensures Council will not be committed to a permanent industrial land use for the site. the seeming reluctance of the boat builder to bring the site up to fire code. On Monday, Manager of Current Planning John Ghent said the family has filed the necessary building applications to do just that. With the Official Plan amendment passed, the Building Department can now process and approve them. The concerns of one neighbor over ground water contamination were also defused Monday after a Medeiros representative explained the dry manufacturing process used and the fact that the family â€" like the neighbor â€" also gets its drinking water from a well. before Council to try and get an "exempting byâ€"law" which would allow them to stay. The Town, they explained, has collected commerâ€" cial taxes from the company since 1987 and has even gone to Medeiros to have its TOWARF boat repaired. In the past, a sore spot between the Town and the family has been Richardson said in some cases HRCA policies don‘t allow for the reconstruction of a barn that burns down, even if it had been in the location more than 100 years.
