Elizabeth Quinn, 807 Batory Avenue addressed Council
with respect to the Notice of Motion to amend the

accessory items at the Ultramar Gas Bar. She
requested that Council give more consideration to this
issue before making a decision. She stated that if

of business. She advised that the Ultramar is zoned
to sell car accessories.

the Ultramar Gas Bar stated that they can not afford a
facility next door to them selling convenience store

should not be allowed.

Association, the Green Door Alliance and the Surplus
Airport Lands Committee addressed Council with respect
to the Notice of Motion pertaining to the purchase of

than Pickering. He stated that there is no
