5. Mr. Fisher asked permission to build a plating factory next to proposed
Bell 'Telephone Exchange in Dunbarton, which is now proposed to be in an
R 2 area. AGREED Mr. Fisher take out license on a non conforming use
basis which would require Court of Adjustment approval for increasing
business at a later date.
The following PERSONS, on MOTION, were heard:
1. Mr. A. Bannock and delegation from West Rouge object to Building Depart- ~
ment issuing permits on 50 foot lots when one owner has more than one
lot abutting.
2. Our Solicitor, Mr. Hassard, expressed opinion that when Township issueda
Building Permit, a Judge would take a dim view ir such permit were can-
celled or interfered with. He stated he had received instructions to
appeal the Stowe and Gould decision.
3. Mr. Pearce reported he had canvassed the north Oakwood Drive area of
owners and asked if they would favour permitting Commercial use similar
to that already in existence in the area, and result was, "Yes, 14. No,
11", and "Qualified, 10".
/

4. A large delegation from East Rou~e had various views on the proposed
zoning of that area.
5. Mr. Little, who drew up our Zoning By-Law, stated he thought this area
should be zoned "residential" as it is an area with only one exit; he
thought spot zoning to accommodate present businesses was bad zoning;
he felt that a hardship was being made on several commercial operators,
and recommended that permits be granted them to build and locations
would become "non,'conforming present uses".
