David Tang, a representative for Pentans Development Ltd., appeared before
the Committee in opposition to Report PD 44-08 and noted they would continue
to oppose the zoning by-law at the Ontario Municipal Board if passed. Mr. Tang
noted that the by-law is contrary to the Official Plan and that the road situated on
their property would adversely affect the operations of their tenants and
substantially constrain any redevelopment opportunities. He noted that it was a
small matter for Brookdale to accommodate all of the road and requested that
the by-law not be passed and that the full 19 metres of the road be on Brookdale
lands.
