Deputy Mayor Jacobson called the public hearing to order and asked if anyone was present who wished to make representation for or against the by-law.
\n\u200bJason Schenk of 114 2nd Ave. N. told Council that he is the potential purchaser of 317 River Road, the property on the other side of the public reserve.\u00a0 He needs the Town’s land access to build his own road because there is no other space to build one.\u00a0 He would like to use the entrance which is public reserve or he would like to purchase the public reserve.
\nKevin and Desiree Fisher of 420 11th Ave. S. and owners of 327 River Road, advised that their intentions for the property if the public reserve is consolidated with theirs is still undecided.\u00a0 The current owner of 317 River Road should have rectified the situation long ago.\u00a0 Right now they only have half a driveway because the other half is public reserve. Their access to and from their property has been blocked a couple of times because the public thinks the whole driveway is public.\u00a0 They want to have full access to their driveway.\u00a0 They understand that there will be easements required on this property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
