appealed a Committee of Adjustment approval of an arcade in a gas station the east side of Acton to the Ontario Municipal Board and this month the In favor of the town Monday Dennis one of the partners In the arcade asked council to consider letting them locate elsewhere In town The arcade bylaw regulations which require such a business to be located no closer than 300 metre from a school or residential area virtually makes it Iro possible to exist In Acton In a letter to the town and Mark Edwards noted when they opened In the gas station they located there because It was the only vacant commercial property available Now there are other possible locations available In Acton but council has a bylaw preventing them from moving They asked to either be allowed to locate In neighborhood community centre or permitted relief from the 300 metres from a residence or school clause They also suggested arcade license fees be higher for the first year of operation so that only concerned owners who plan on running a good operation on a long term basis would apply Clerk administrator Ken Richardson reported staff and the town solicitor have been looking at this problem A specific site of this arcade couldnt be exempted from the bylaw but the municipality could change the rules so arcades could locate in the Georgetown or Acton BIA areas Richardson warned this would open up the downtown areas to arcades and noted the municipality Is already sluing on a number of applications for arcades In both Georgetown and Acton Richardson said council could consider reducing the 300 metres distance requirement also It was decided staff will prepare a report reviewing all subjects raised In and Edwards letter Lisa Petty of Everton Lisa Petty is certified model Sixteen
