DELEGATIONS
Moved by Councillor Kruger, seconded by Councillor King that
Mr. E. G. McNeeleYL Solicitor for the Combined Separate School
Board of the Holy Hedeemer School, be heard.
Mr. McNeeley introduced Mr. J. Blakely, Chairman of the said
School Board, who presented to Council the desperate position
the School Board is in with regard to student accommodation.
They already have llOO students enrolled using, in addition to
their own schools, three rooms in St. Frances De Sales which
will not be available after the end of this school term. He
went on to explain that 200 students requiring six class rooms
will be without accommodation! which could mean shift classes.
The Board made a strong appea to the Council for immediate
action in having a building permit issued in order that con-
struction could commence without further delay.
Reeve Williams'explained that many factors must be considered
in this matter, involving a complete study of the area of the
proposed site, taking into consideration the availability of
ingress and egress, street frontaget water and sewer servicing,
the proposed Lawrence Avenue extenslon etc.; and until these
problems are resolved, the Council co~d not permit the issuance
of a building permit. He regretted the Board's position,
however, advised that Council would do what it could to expidiously
conclude these problems.
The Planning Director was instructed ~o meet with the School
Board to review with them what is being done and also to
arrange for a meeting between himself, thA 2chool Board and
Miller and Emrie, the latter being owner8 of the abutting lands.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m., Monday,
June 24,1968.
Moved by Councillor Kitchen, seconded by Councillor King, that
. Mr. R. S. Paddon, Solicitor for Mr. Donald Traill be heard.
Mr. Paddon appeared on behalf of Mr. Traill to obtain from Council
an extension to the 60 day limit which he was given to remove
his business (used tire business) which he 1s operating .
without a permi.t, and further~~ which is located in an area not
zoned for this purpose. The ou day period ends on the 18th
day of June, 1968. He requested an extension pending the out-
come of the revised Official Plan which, it is hoped, would be
amended to permit the present use to which this property has
been put.
