DATE/TIME: LOCATION: FILE NOS: Monday, September 24, 2012 at 7:00PM Council Chambers, Civic Centre D09OPA09.001 & D14ZBA09.004 No extrication Acton firefighters responded when a single vehicle rolled into the ditch on Highway 7 in the Wordenview Road area at 11:53 on Friday, but did not have to extricate the driver. No other details were released. *** The drivers of two vehicles that crashed in the ditch on Guelph Line, between 25 and 30 Side Roads did not need to be extricated from their vehicles following an accident at 3:21 on last Wednesday afternoon. Mississauga Ambulance was on scene ­ no details were released. No permit The smoke that sparked a burn complaint at 7:08 last Tuesday night was from an Alice Street homeowner who was burning without a permit. The fire was extinguished and the homeowner advised to get a burn permit. If owners of a partiallybuilt plaza at the corner of Queen Street and Tanners Drive can get a building permit issued within two years, they will get the six SDE ­ single detached equivalent, a measure of water system capacity ­ needed to complete the already approved development by adding two retail buildings to the site which already houses a gas bar. A report to Council on Monday said Valmar (Acton) Realty built the gas bar in 2009, but not the remainder of the plaza because the limited servicing capacity assigned to the property restricts businesses that usually require more water, like restaurants and a range of personal services. In his report to Council, Adam Farr, the Town's Manager of Development Review said that according to the owner, these are the types of businesses interested in retail/commercial space on the site at Acton's eastern gateway. The lack of water capacity had stalled Acton development until Halton Region allotted 100 SDE of water in 2010. The Town distributed water into three pools, including a "flex pool", intended to shift water allocation to either residential or non-residential projects as needed. Valmar's six SDE will come from that flex pool, which now has 39 SDE. The residential infill pool now has seven SDE, and there are none in the nonresidential pool. register todAY for fall 2012 Programs new beginner programs sTarT The week of sept. 18Th 2012 Escarpment Fencing Club Tuesday · 7-9 youTh compeTiTive epee/penTaThlon fencing · 8:30-10 adult fencing.
