DEPUTATION BY FERN MAIN REGARDING MOTION 14-G-096, REZONING FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL (C4) TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE SECOND DENSITY (RM2) AND DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR 196 BURTON AVENUE (WARD 8).
Ms. Fern Main provided a deputation in opposition to motion 14-G-096 regarding the Rezoning from General Commercial (C4) to Residential Multiple Second Density (RM2) and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application for 196 Burton Avenue (Ward 8). Ms. Main observed that she loves her community and the mobile park is a very important part of it. She stated her concerns related to the health issues that she believes have resulted from the issuance of the eviction notices, the lack of time the residents have been given to vacate the park, and the financial impacts on the residents. Ms. Main suggested that all parties continue to work together on a solution that will benefit everyone.
Ms. Main also discussed her concerns related to the additional traffic, parking and pedestrian safety that she believes will result from the proposed development. In closing, Ms. Main noted her sadness as she feels like an old part of Barrie is being lost and a cookie cutter neighbourhood is to be developed.
