7:00P.M.
2.
Jassie Khurana, representing the applicant, advised that he was present to
answer any questions.
3.
Angela Smiglicki, 1210 Radom St., Unit 104, stated her support of the opposition
of this application advising that Bay Ridges is an established neighbourhood that
will not see much growth.
4.
Maureen Charlton, 740 Krosno Blvd., stated that survival is the issue and not
development. She suggested, as she has in the past, that an establishment to
compliment the area be considered. She pointed out that Mr. Patel clearly
disregards the decision of the Committee of Adjustment as he continues to sell
large items.
5.
Mr. Lim, owner of the Bay Ridges Market, stated his opposition to the application
and questioned why they were here again addressing the same issue. He
advised that nothing in the neighbourhood has changed but the closing of a
dollar store. He stated his right to protect his business for his family, staff and
community and further stated his opposition to changing the by-law.
6.
A resident of 1295 Wharf St., questioned why stations above Hwy. 401 are
allowed to sell large items and Mr. Patel is not. He suggested that there is
growth in the area, at the bottom of Liverpool Road and that there should not be
a problem with competition.
7.
Scotty Ramage, 760 Krosno Blvd., stated that Bay Ridges Market has been a
great neighbour and that only one convenience store is needed in the area.
8.
Angela Smiglicki, emphasized the good work of the Bay Ridges Market in the
community and advised that the objection is to large retail.
9.
Sylvain Trepanier, 1218 Monica Cook Place, stated that this is not just planning
but also common sense. Bay Ridges is not growing and this application would
cause a split of revenue and profits. He advised that those sitting on the
Committee of Adjustment, are also community citizens appointed by Council.
This application has twice been denied and he questioned why it is here again.
He further stated that what is happening above Hwy. 401 is not a fair
comparison.

Jassie Khurana, representing the applicant, advised that the applicant has
retained the services of a lawyer and planner and further that the appeal to the
Ontario Municipal Board will be dropped if this application stops at City Council.
He stated that this is also a family business and that Mr:. Patel is also committed
to the community.
Klara Bergant, 704 Krosno Blvd., advised that she has been in attendance at all
the meetings and that her concerns are with respect to traffic. She stated her
opposition to this application and questioned why another type of business such
as a dry cleaners could not be considered.
Maureen Charlton, 740 Krosno Blvd., questioned why Mr. Patel continues to sell
items not included on the list of allowable goods.
