She stated that she owned 3 residential properties in the area and wanted to make sure that there was adequate fencing around the property. She stated that her tenants were concerned with the parking of vehicles in the backyard and did not want car lights shining into their homes. She also noted that in the Spring for about a month, the area had a flooding problem in the backyards and wanted the City to make sure that the grading was completed to eliminate this problem. She stated that she was concerned that when the parking lot was paved all of the water would flow to her properties and the flooding problem would be worse. Bill Friedman, a representative for SR & R Bay Ridges appeared before the Committee and noted their concerns in regards to a Veterinary Clinic being in a residential area. He noted that their concerns were in respect to making sure the animals were safe with good fencing and also noted that a Veterinary Clinic would create additional sewage. Mr. Friedman stated that they were willing to meet with the applicant and discuss compensation issues at any time, as it related to the applicants existing clinic. . Judy Gallagher, 1182 Pebblestone Cresent, appeared before the Committee in support of the application. She noted that she felt this was an ideal location for a Veterinary Clinic.

Jeffery Snape, 1735 Walnut Lane, Unit 10, appeared before the Committee in support of the application. Mr. Snape stated he felt the property was large enough to handle this type of business. Mr. Snape noted that the drainage problems in the area needed to be looked at because usually in March there is a large ice problem in the area. Mr. Snape also noted that if the zoning in this area continued to be changed into a commercial area rather then residential, the City would have to take a serious look at the traffic problems in the area and address them. 2 Special Planning & Development Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, August 18, 2008 7:30 pm - Council Chambers Chair: Councillor O'Connell 2.
