3 5.2 Response to Letter from Premier Consensus of the meeting was that it is important to have a meeting of our full council with the Premier and the other ministers mentioned, and that Minister Mundy should have been invited too. Consensus was that letter be sent Tuesday, Sept. 27, re-stating the request for a meeting and offering a tour of the Manor. 5.3 Other input Ms. Carla Morgan spoke about Request for Decision She expressed a local sentimentality about the trail at the end of Locust Street, that trails are a wonderful resource and she supports the request. Mr. Mike Page spoke about a recommendation from Planning Board that the waterfront properties along the south side of the river be rezoned. He asked Council to do some visioning together with the people that live in the Locust St area. Mr. Ahmon Katz spoke in support of Request for Decision He stated that any bike paths, trail systems, are important, and perhaps there could be some advantage in keeping the Town more unique by not developing all the land. Mr. Rick Beck expressed disappointment in the rezoning recommendation of the south side of the river as he understood it. 6. Reports 6.1 Development Permit Report as written 6.2 Financial Report General as written 7. Requests for Decision 7.1 Request for Decision Rename School Street Ms. Eileen Flanagan (granddaughter of Thomas & Minnie Grant) spoke on behalf of the Grant family. She gave a synopsis of their lives and family and presented the on-line petition in support of the request. Discussion took place around the complications of changing an existing street name. The consensus was to proceed no further with the request. 7.2 Request for Decision Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Councillor Bagnall, Chair of Planning Board, reported on the Planning Board meeting held earlier today. Input from the July 18 public meeting has been considered. Planning Board is recommending that the private properties along the south side of the river stay R2 and R3 as they presently exist, but that the whole lot will hold that designation and none will have split zoning. The rest of the recommendations from the Stantec report will stay as they were. The consensus was that the request proceed to the October Council meeting. 3 2
