Fabian Councillors w. Daniels N. Berg E. Stobbs J. Harbinson B. Baxter M. loewen B. Scheuerman Administrator M. Bowen The Deputy Reeve opened the Public Hearing at 1:30 p.m. The Public Hearing dealt with By-law 1191.96, being an amendment to land Use By-law 1004-90 for a land use change in Pt. Sec. 33.18-15-4 (containing approximately 45.44 acres) from Agriculture to Mobile Home Park. Four members of the public were in attendance at this Public Hearing: the applicant, Whaley Mar; Paul Seaton, landowner; Steve Harrison, from PanCanadian Petroleum limited; and Robert Matoba, from the Eastern Irrigation District. Mr. Mar was given the opportunity to address his application for land use change. He had nothing to add to the application at this time. Mr. Seaton addressed his objections as follows: 1) that Brooks and area is an appealing place to live and he feels that low-cost mobile homes will take away the pleasant atmosphere around the Town of Brooks. Z) he feels that mobile home parks situated in numerous areas around the County are, perhaps, not in the best interest and that Council should have a better plan for areas for mobile home parks. Mr. Harrison addressed the hearing and advised that he is not in opposition but was here on behalf of PanCanadian Petroleum limited, as they have a pipeline that runs across this parcel. Mr. Matoba did not wish to speak at this hearing. Council was giuen the opportunity to ask questions of the members of the public. Mr. Mar was giuen the opportunity for rebuttal regarding the responses from those objecting to the land use change. Council was again given the opportunity to ask questions of all individuals. There being no further questions or comments, it was moved by Councillor Stobbs that the Public Hearing adjourn at 1:58 p.m. Carried. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
