Mrs. Hartwig outlined that they operated a small business with a limited amount of equipment. She pointed out thatt the lot was some 675 feet deep and that the equipment equipment was not visable. She spoke of a building for housing the equipment equipment as well as a tree cover bearer. Mrs. Hartwig pointed out that a number of others were using similar residential lots for equipment storage throughout the Town. She said if the equipment was hidden it should cause no problems for neighbouring residents. She made a bid that council members support the rezoning application. The planning staff, for the second second time, had recommended to members of council that the application application be denied. The Hartwigs had t submitted a similar application for rezoning in October of 1987 Which was first apr proved by the Generàl Purpose committee of the Town but then denied by council. Councs; Hooper, Wotten, Hubbard, Hubbard, Hannah and Deegan supported supported the denial. Counc. Stapleton said he supported supported the rezoning application noting that it was a large lot with at least 600 feet in depth. He said an agreement could be worked out through a site plan.

Hamre also noted the large lot and that although she often travels the road she has yet to see the equipment. , She claimed there was no legitimate objection registered against the application. She also said she felt the Hartwigs were not breaking the law. She said that the Hamlet plan allows residential and limited commercial and industrial development. Counc. Hopper said Counc. Hamre was taking the Hamlet plan portion out of context and should read the following sentence ". . . that the proposed use must be com- ' patible with the existing land uses in the area." Hooper said it is a residential area and should be kept as such. He said if the law is wrong then change the law but it must apply throughout the whole of the Town. Counc. Hannah said the area now stands as a residential area and is residential. He noted that the Town did have a problem all across the Town with similar problems in residential areas.
