2. Brian Davies, representing the applicant, stated that he
has received an acceptable flood plain study and has made
arrangements with the Mi"i stry of Transportati on regardi ng
the future Highway #407. He has the approval of the
Regional Health Unit for a cemetery use and he will be
required to submit approved engineering drawing to the
Town.
3.
Don Drake stated that he owns property to the east of the
subject 1 ands and stated that the property is not well
drained and may not be good for a cemetery use. The
surrounding land is being actively farmed and may create
odours from manure and compost which may be in conflict
with a cemetery use. There is a landfill site on the
subject property that contains material from the
construction of Highway #7 and traffic is travell ing very
fast where the proposed entrance is located. The Salem
Cemetery was recently expanded and is adequate to serve the
community. The cemetery has an entrance onto Sideline 8 of
whi ch he and hi s nei ghbour have spent thousands on gravel
and asked if the Town is planning on assuming this road.
The proposed change in use from passive farmland to a very
public use is too great.

4.
Fred Beer, representi ng the Pi ckeri ng Rural Associ ati on,
stated that he objects to this proposal to permit a
cemetery because the subject 1 ands are prime agri cul tural
lands.
5. Allen Clark stated that he lives to the east of the subject
lands and the drainage from the subject lands travels over
his property. He stated that during a heavy storm, the
cul vert cannot handl e the water from the subj ect 1 ands.
This land has only been inactive since Mr. Davies clients
purchased it and he asked why it is being offered for sale.
6. Brian Davies, representing the applicant, stated that the
highway entrance has been studied by the Ministry of
Transportation and will likely be moved further to the
east. He is not aware of the status of Side1 ine 8 and
noted that the property is not for sale and will be used
only as a cemetery.
