Hi Everyone,<br>
I apologize for the late hour of this email but I think I need some help from
as many people as possible.<br>
Tomorrow night the City of Kitchener plans on accepting a rezoning application
from Hallman Developments to place a gas bar/car wash in very close proximity
to Muncipal wells! It will also be less than 500 metres from Strasburg Creek a
cold water creek that the City is presently spending close to $2M rehabilating
after developers impacted it with their deveopment. <br>
The residents of the area have banded together with letters to council,
petitions and one resident in particular has been talking to everyone she can.
I have been involved and spoke out last week against this project but Council
said that they will accept the rezoning application because the orginal zoning
application was dated 1987 and to keep the orginal zoning would possibly mean
that they(developer) could place a gas station ( more dangerous because
of the need for hydrolic machinery and increased use of oil.) instead of a gas
bar.<br>
The reality is that the Region reluctantly ( according to Don Corbett) agreed
to this application because they are concerned with the developer taking this
issue to the OMB! The agreement stated that the developer must consider
an above ground storage tank to help reduce the possiblity of a spill. <br>
But we all know that no matter where the storage tank is placed, human error
may cause a spill to occur.<br>
The other issue that is very disconcerning is the fact that the residents have
not been properly notified and staff are scrambling to cover up the fact
that quite possibly they did not send out the notices nor was there every a
sign posted to inform the public about the zone change.( Citizen working on
this issue received an email at 4:30pm from a staff member!)<br>
<br>
This has been a very long explaination to the issue. I unfortunately will not
be able to be there as we need to take some family to Toronto at that time.<br>
If you are able to take some time from your already busy schedule to help fill
the council chambers/gallery I would grealy appreciate it!<br>
See you all on the 29!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
