Subject: zoning app# al 7/02
Sir:
I am writing in response to zoning by-law amendment application, A
17/02
This applilcation involves 489 Whitevale Rd. As a resident of Whitevale,
living
at 3215 North Rd , I am opposed to any re -zoning in this rural
community!
This type of re-zonning would set a precedent that could be the
unraveling
of
the Hamlet of Whitevale by opening the door to all types of developement
in
this unique Heritage Community. It was my understanding that the
building
was renovated for the purpose of using it as a "workshop", not a
residential
rental dwelling. Please keep me informed of any further meeting on this
matter. Sincerely.... Ann E Ward.
