The following persons addressed Council with respect to the application for
rezoning submitted by John Taylor Truck Sales Inc.:

businesses must follow by-laws and guidelines. She stated her concern with
respect to the construction of a new building which residents were not aware of,
the tire storage issue, cars being delivered during the night and the poor
landscaping.
c) Nancy Listro, thanked Council for their support and stated her opposition to
legalizing this business. The property was previously a gravel pit and therefore
this could cause contamination of the water. She advised that the road cannot

dangerous situations exist on the property such as storage of tires, fences falling
down and unattended fires.
d) Rachel Murphy, 3080 Concession 5 Road, stated her opposition to this
application and her hope that Council would consider the residents concerns.
She advised that the Ajax Official Plan stipulates that no more auto recyclers or
waste disposal plants could be built.

improvements. They would like to see the fence eight to ten feet in height, the

the buffer and improved landscaping.
f) Frank Tecklenburg, 3315 Winchester Rd., stated his concern with what was
previously buried on the property prior to the purchase by Mr. Kaufman. He
