Minutes of a Public Meeting to consider a proposed Temporary Use By-Law held Monday, March 26,2001 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Present: Deputy-Mayor Robert Pillon Councillor Mickey Bezaire Councillor Rosa White Councillor Anthony Leardi Councillor Frank Gorham Also present: Dave Mailloux Lory Bratt A list of those members ofthe public in attendance is attached hereto and forms part of these minutes. Deputy-Mayor Pillon opened the meeting and welcomed all those in attendance. He explained the purpose of the meeting was to consider a proposed Temporary Use By- Law. The Deputy-Mayor then asked the Planning Coordinator to summarize the proposal. The municipality is in receipt of an application for Temporary Use By-Law for property described as Lots 299 to 301, Plan 736 - 134 Elmstead Lane. The purpose of the proposed by-law is to permit a mobile home as a Temporary Use on the subject property. The proposed use will be for a maximum period of six (6) months from the effective date of the proposed by-law. This by-law will allow the applicants to reside on the site while reconstructing their dwelling which was destroyed by fire. The subject property is designated Lakeshore Residential in the Official Plan. The following written comments were received from the various agencies circulated: (1) Letter dated March 8, 2001 from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. (2) Petition of support dated February 17, 2001 from neighbours of 134 Elmstead. (3) Letter dated March 9, 2001 from the Essex Region Conservation Authority. Due to the extreme circumstances surrounding this situation and the time frame proposed we feel it is an appropriate planning request and will not detrimentally affect the surrounding properties. For these same reasons we would also suggest that Council consider the passing of the by-law which has been prepared and placed on the regular agenda following the public meeting. This is not normal procedure and we make this suggestion only for the purpose of expediting the process for the applicants due to timing being a critical factor for them at this time. The applicants confirmed for Council members that 6 months would be an appropriate time to complete the reconstruction. Moved by A. Leardi Seconded by F. Gorham That Council concur with the recommendation to consider the passing of a Temporary Use By-Law for the placement of a mobile home on Lots 299 to 301, Plan 736 (134 Elmstead Lane) for a period not to exceed six months, and further, the applicants to enter into an agreement with the municipality to remove the mobile home at the end of the six month period. - carried -
