DELEGATIONS
K. Van Westen, re Land Use Contravention - 3460 Whiting Way - Area A.
Mr. Van Westen spoke regarding the present land use of lots 4 and 5. He requested that the Board allow him time to take out a building permit that would allow him to build two modest single family residences on these lots, bringing them into line with the present land use requirements of Bylaw 500.

Ms. Schmitt noted the May 8th petition signed by 129 residents of Morello Road who are opposed to the Home Based Business Draft Bylaw. The residents want to maintain their quality of life and home based hobby farms and would like the area to be designated as RS1.
Robin Cole & Neil Christensen, re Water, Safety, Noise, Air Quality and Industrial Traffic Issues.
