Wellington Street West addressed the meeting on behalf of the applicant.
She indicated that the school had been operating for 5! years, assisting 91
families and employing a staff of 12. Their present playground area had
been demolished, and their licence is in jeopardy. The proposed location
would be better wo.rki ng conditions, better 1 ocati on, being on the bus route
and close to the Go-Station. There would be space to accommodate over 100
children, and possibly 3 more staff would be hired. Mrs. Gilis indicated
she had spoken to Mr. Ploder regarding paints and chemicals used in his
business. He advised that he had been required to provide an exhaust pipe,
higher than the adjacent buildings to deal with fumes. Other neighbours in
the area said they had no problem with odours. Mrs. Gilis also indicated
other municipalities had day care centres in Industrial Areas. The proposed
building would require extensive modifications, and the Ministry would not
give approval if it was for a short term only. Mrs Gilis requested a
permanent, not a temporary rezoning.

pending finalization of the Site Plan.
