Planner Comments Joyce Yeh, Planner I provided an overview of the property location, applicant's proposal and City's Official Plan policies pertaining to this site, as outlined in the Information Report # 04-06. She explained the definition of "Body Rub Parlour", as it pertains to the City of Pickering's By-law and Municipal Act as being any establishment that employs any person who "puts hands on the body" without the designation of "Registered Massage Therapist" . 2. Applicant Comments Samantha Keser, Barrister & Solicitor for the applicant, Mr. Christoper Trzinski, stated that her client is a university educated, married, well respected member of the community who seeks to establish a business for adults18 years and over. She further stated that as her client is fully aware of the public concerns for such a business, he has taken steps to ensure that the outside of the establishment is kept very conservative, i.e.; no external changes, no external advertising, small external signage. Ms. Keser further voiced her client's concerns with the fact that he only recently found out that in the City of Pickering only three Body Rub Parlour licences will be issued. Ms. Keser explained that one of the applicant's statements that her establishment is for therapeutic purposes and her clients would include men, women and children is completely false and misleading. She will be appearing before the Executive Committee Meeting of March 27, 2006 to voice these concerns. 3. Comments from Members of the Public No comments from members of the public. 4 Comments from the Chair Councillor Dickerson thanked Ms. Kesler for the comments and stated that as long as her client is proposing to open a legal business, the City of Pickering will give serious consideration to the application. He further stated that not every application is accepted and advised Ross Pym and Joyce Yeh that if the applicant of January 19, 2006 is misrepresenting her business, the application should be re-evaluated. The meeting adjourned at 7:46 pm. Page 2 CORP0228-2I02
