Joe Velacich, president of a noarby construction company, argued in favour of retaining the sitos industrial zoning.

You're slowly squeezingus eut, he said. Although planning staff will review the possibility cf alterna- tive zoning, such as prestige in- dustrial, on properties fronting on Centre, north of Beech, Vla- cich said that would make little differenoe. «I have a construction com- pany, changing te offices won't hep9 e Icud have te relocate if this gees ahead," he said. Batten said Cobi Fonds found that an industrial zoning was ne Iong er practical for the property. «They couldn't come up with an application," he said. Veacch said ho understood Cobi's predicament, but felt he sheuld be «compensated» if the application je approved. Councillor Don Mitchell said neither the committee nor staff had evidence that Velacich7e fears would be reàlized. Only an independent appraisal Of - Velacich's property weuld sup<pport hie argument, Mitchell. «We dont see the evidence of it. That's the dilemma we're facing » ho said. Blair Buchanan cf Centre Street Nerth supported the change te residential zening, but said the overali density was stilI tee high. He asked if Cobi would con- eider reducing it even further. Architect Dharam Malik said that avenue was exploreci, but the "shape of the land" makes it economically unfeasible for any- thing but tewnhouses. Short concurred, noting that the site doee net lend itself te the traditienal road patterns or other neede that would be required by semi-detached or single dwe- Ae aise referred te the afore- mentioned develepment at Man- ning and Brock for comparison purposes, noting that it consiste cf 229 units on 16 acres. Counciller Dennie Fox said the committee essentially had littie choice but te approve the appli- cation. «As it stands now, itfs not benefiting anybody,» said, FOX. "Itfs botter te h ave 125 units weýre collecting taxes frein than te have an empty building were net getting anything frein,» ho said. Mitchell agreod, but with soins roservations. "I think thero will be a lot of traffic gonerated and I would liko te 500 lese density, but I can understand why ite net,» hoe said. However Mitchell admitted hoe was «troubfod" by Velacich's com- menta. «Net because he'll suifer a lees, but because ho thinke the develo- per will make a profit at the expenseocf adjoining land- owners," said Mitchell. «ýIf that's true it should bo addressed in the procose, but tho solution is net te beave it (site) vacant." Mayor Tom Edwards suppor- ted the rozoning and th on became embroiled in a brief exchange with Johneten when hoe suggested that traffic will not be as badl as it was when the factery was operating. Edwards eaid the empty fac- tery was an open invitation te vandale and posed a petential firo threat. "Itfs an attraction and a hazard as long as the building site there.7 lho said.
