We MUST go after the province to change the rules of ZONING... (and I believe Catherine Fife might be the singular politician who would understand the importance of the pushing of changing the ‘rules currently in place’) because she has worked with us on the environment many years ago. ELIZABETH WITMER was the MINISTER OF HEALTH (Thank God) when we were fighting to SAVE ST. MARY’S HOSPITAL at that point in time.....and now <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> Catherine who was environmentally involved in the “west side lands” on Wilmot Line at that time, has some potential power or say in the Province ; it’s the 1980 zoning of allowing development at what’s happening there now.!!!!!! (and this OLD zoning must be called to a halt. )<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>OLD ZONING should be treated as OUTDATED (I suggest) after 5 years if it HAS NOT YET BEEN ENACTED and it should be looked upon as rezoning with CURRENT discoveries? Updated Environmental Information?!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I spoke briefly with Catherine about this some time ago but not in detail...she will be willing to meet with us sometime if we can arrange a time and place. (probably her office with pertinent details and information and examples...some of which she will have from the past) Let’s do it sometime soon in an organised manner, Kevin T., E and Deb and E and M Frind plus John J. Etc. Etc. I couldn’t be there for the meeting at city hall council but I knew this was where it was heading......from OLD ZONING and current rules. Damn Damn and DOUBLE DAMN!!! I’ve learned by now.....YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME... doesn’t make it any easier when it happens.

This is the last opportunity citizens will have to make their concerns know about this road.<br>The present cost is $35M and that is not considering some of the mitigation for the wetlands and the destruction to the Provincially Significant Wetland. <br> <br>Presently the road has been moved much further west and I beleive that there are a number of people who are pleased with this new option especially the person who owns 500 Stauffe- also know as Monika B&B. <br>One of the concerns that has been identified at the last public meeting is that the northern portion of the road has not had the proper Environmental Assesment done on it .<br>As well by approving this road before the full Environmental Impact Study is completed and approved in October by Council we may be putting the cart before the horse! As well the development industry is pushing for the road to go further east where the implications and the cost will be higher. The lands that surround the road are part of the Ontario Muncipal Board appeal that the Region of Waterloo is still involved in and has been in the news alot in the past month. <br> <br>Please take the time to come out and listen to what is being presented. If you feel that you wish to speak out about the road there is usually an opportunity to once all of the delegations have presented for people in the gallery to come forward.<br>I hope to see all of you there and certainly the time to bring your friends and neighbours who have also expressed concerns about this road! This is an important opportunity.<br>Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold"'> Yvonne Fernandes<img width=19 height=19 id="_x0000_i1025" src="http://gfx2.hotmail.com/mail/w3/ltr/emoticons/rose.gif"></span></b><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><strong><span style='font-family:"Lucida Handwriting"'>"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed people can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
