DELEGATIONS
Mr. Celeste Iacobelli, Gambin Associates re: Applications OP-01-88,
Z-06-88; Nick Cortellucci; part lot 75, Cone. 1 WYS
Mr. Iacobelli addressed Council on behalf of the owners of the lands located
on the south side of Henderson Drive, east of Bathurst Street. It was
requested that the owners be given permission to proceed with discussions
with staff based upon the files opened in conjunction with the public
meeting held on the applications in February, 1988. It was stated that
considering the resolution enacted at that meeting a rejection of his
client's applications would not be fair, given the active status of the
subdivision file with the Region of York. Mr. Iacobelli advised that since
the public meeting, the landowners had proceeded with detailed woodlot
analysis and studies, and were in a position to proceed and to deal with the
resident's concerns raised at the public meeting.
Mayor West thanked Mr. Iacobelli for his submission and advised that same
should be discussed with the Director of Planning, with a report to Council
to follow.
