[4:30] So just some housekeeping items before we get started. Tonight's
[4:33] meeting is set in the agenda. Only those matters before
[4:35] the committee will be discussed. This meeting is not the
[4:38] appropriate form to discuss property standards issues, property taxes, or
[4:41] any other general complaints to the town. Please contact the
[4:44] town during normal business hours to discuss these and in

[4:57] order for the Committee to approve an application, the majority
[4:59] of the members present must satisfy themselves at the application
[5:02] satisfies the applicable requirements of the planning act. If there
[5:06] is a tie vote, which shouldn't happen tonight, the application

[5:30] certain public bodies, and the minister to the Ontario land
[5:33] tribunal. If you wish to appeal a decision, please contact
[5:36] the Secretary Treasure. So we're on to number five, which
[5:40] is items for consideration. First application is A26 - 029M387
[5:46] Campbell Avenue East. If the owner or representative could please
[5:50] come forward. Good evening, sir. If you could turn on
[5:57] your mic, the big button there. Good evening, Mr. Chair
[6:00] Committee. And if you could state your name and clarify
[6:03] whether you are the applicant, the agent or the owner.
[6:05] Sure. My name is Shane Edwards from Houston Studio and
[6:08] where the applicant on behalf of the owner for 387
[6:11] Campbell Avenue East. Great. If you could tell the committee
[6:13] what variances you're applying for and explanation of the purpose
[6:16] and reasons for the application and why you feel it's
[6:18] minor in nature. And you have the floor for five
[6:20] minutes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. So yes, so this application
[6:25] is rather straightforward. We're requesting three variances. So I'll just
[6:29] quickly run through those. The first is to permit a
[6:32] second garage, whereas zoning bylaw permits a maximum of one
[6:36] garage per lot. This is for a residential dwelling, by
[6:39] the way. The second variance is to permit a maximum
[6:42] garage door height of 2. 74 metres, where the bylaw
[6:46] permits a maximum of 2. 4 metres. And the third
[6:50] is to permit a residential driveway having a width of
[6:53] 22. 42 metres to exceed the width of the proposed
[6:56] three - car garage, where the zoning by - law
[6:58] states that the residential driveway leading to a three -
[7:01] car garage shall not exceed the width of the garage
[7:03] face. So with this, I just want to clarify that
[7:09] we did defer from the June hearing, and we worked
[7:11] with staff to kind of make some amendments to the
[7:14] proposal. Um, I'm not sure, are we able to bring
[7:16] up anything on the screen or is it just. Could
[7:20] we bring up figure. One, please. Just while I explain
[7:29] the variances, it might help to see. Yes.
[8:29] Apologies, I can continue if you'd like to.
[8:55] Great, thank you very much. If you could please zoom
[9:00] into kind of the middle there.
[9:14] A little bit further, if you could. Perfect.
[9:27] Okay, thank you. So just some background, as I mentioned,
[9:30] we did work with planning staff since the previous deferral
[9:33] to work through some comments. The most notable were from
[9:36] the NEC. There were some comments on the, I guess,
[9:39] the length of the driveway. As you can see coming
[9:41] from Campbell Avenue to where the dwelling is, it's rather
[9:44] central in the large. Property. Um, so they had some
[9:48] comments with regards to the amount of impervious surface that
[9:52] we were proposing. And the other comments were from the
[9:55] Fire Department, and basically they were saying that we need
[9:58] to have a fire access route because of the distance
[10:00] of the dwelling away from Campbell Avenue. So we did
[10:03] satisfy those comments. We did alter the driveway. So as
[10:06] you can see, there is a fire root. Now it
[10:08] is meet the minimum width. And we do meet the
[10:11] minimum, um, turning radius required, as well as the hammerhead
[10:15] provided for maneuverability of the Fire Truck on the property.
[10:18] And to address the surface, uh, treatment we did propose,
[10:21] you can see the different hatches of the driveway. The
[10:24] solid hatch is the obviously an asphalt impervious that's beneath
[10:28] the fire root. But all other areas of the driveway
[10:31] are, uh, paverstone obviously will allow some previous pass -
[10:35] through of water. Um, so just getting back to the
[10:38] variances. So as you can see here, there is an
[10:41] attached garage in the main portion of the dwelling on
[10:44] the left. And you do see the second garage on
[10:46] the right there. So that's the second garage. There are
[10:49] two garages. One is a two car in the main
[10:51] portion of the dwelling. And the, what looks like a
[10:54] detached three car garage. I just wanted to point out
[10:57] that there is a breezeway connecting that to the main
[11:00] dwelling. So even though it looks like it's detached and
[11:02] it is, I guess, detached from the rest of the
[11:05] floor plan, physically it is attached to the main dwelling.
[11:08] So it is part of the main dwelling. It's not
[11:10] a detached freestanding garage. Um, and if you can kind
[11:14] of see the dimensional line from the back right corner
[11:17] of that second garage to the back right corner of
[11:20] the main dwelling, that's that 22. 42 metre dimension. That's
[11:24] the maximum technical driveway width. So just to point out
[11:27] as well that that's not the full driveway with leading
[11:30] down to the road. That is the minimum six metre
[11:32] required for the fire root. Um, and so those are
[11:36] pretty much variance number one in variance number three. Variance
[11:40] number two is just the increase of, uh, garage door
[11:43] height from 2. 4 to 2. 7, basically eight feet
[11:46] to nine feet, which just architecturally and aesthetically matches the
[11:49] design of the dwelling a bit more. So that's basically
[11:52] it, Mr. Chair. I'll turn it over to yourself in
[11:54] the committee and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
[11:56] Thank you. Uh, does the committee have any questions of
[11:59] the agents? Go ahead. Thank you very much for a
[12:02] quick brief. Uh, I just want to know that this
[12:05] detached garage is connected with a breezeway. Right. Correct. So
[12:09] it's, it's a detached garage in the sense that it's
[12:12] disconnected from the rest of the floor plan, but it
[12:13] is attached with the full breeze way. So it is
[12:15] part of the main dwelling structure. And there is no
[12:19] access to the garage from the breezeway, correct? No, the
[12:24] breezeway is an outdoor. It's just covered. So it's basically
[12:26] like a, like a covered over breezeway that connects the
[12:29] two, but the passage between the two. And what is
[12:33] the height of the garage. The height of the garage?
[12:37] If we call up figure four, you can kind of
[12:39] see the architectural elevation that will show that. I can
[12:45] see that it is eight metres. It's quite high. It's
[12:48] basically the same height of the main dwelling. It's a
[12:50] bit more, uh, it'll be clear in the, sorry, figure
[12:53] three, I apologise. Figure three page.
[13:11] I can see that in the drank, it is nine
[13:13] metre from grade level. So it is quite high. So
[13:16] it's basically not connected. It's basically the same. It's connected
[13:19] and it's basically the same height as the main dwelling.
[13:21] So it's part of the main dwelling. The only thing
[13:23] is there's a pass through underneath a breezeway that gets
[13:26] to the rear portion that was shown on the site
[13:28] plan. It's if we could pull up the elevation, it
[13:31] would be a bit more clear. Thank you. I got
[13:34] my answer. Any other questions. All right, sir, if you
[13:39] just want to have a C, thank you very much.
[13:41] I'm going to open it up to the public now.
[13:43] Are there any members of the public that wish to
[13:45] address the committee on the application at 387 Campbell Avenue
[13:49] East. Once, twice. Okay. I'm going to close public participation.
[13:55] And I'm going to turn it over back to the
[13:56] committee. Um, any questions of the planner, which is Ms.
[14:00] Hayes. I just, on that discussion we just had, um,
[14:08] the, um. Because it's attached, it meets the height, like
[14:11] where everything else is. It's just these, the minor variances
[14:14] are going to creep up at building permit stage to
[14:16] your knowledge. Through you, Mr. Chair, that's correct. So there
[14:20] are different zoning provisions for attach versus detached garages since
[14:23] the breezeway connecting this garage. It essentially has the same
[14:26] high restrictions as the primary dwelling.
[14:37] Motion, sorry. I have a motion booth by Chris Chambino,
[14:41] seconded by Salmon Al - Ahi. Be it resolved that
[14:43] the application for minor variants under section 45, one and
[14:46] two of the planning act, file A26029M for 387 Campbell
[14:51] Avenue East in the town of Milton. Be approved subject
[14:54] following conditions. Excuse me. One, that the devil elevelment shall
[14:58] be constructed generally in accordance with the site plan prepared
[15:01] by US designed studio and dated and stamped by Town
[15:04] Zoning on July 9th, 2026, and the elevations prepared by
[15:08] Huey's design studio and dated and stamped by Town Zoning
[15:12] on May 22nd, 2026. Two, that a Building Permit be
[15:15] obtained within two years from the date of the decision.
[15:18] Three, that prior to issuance of a building permit, an
[15:20] entrance permit shall be obtained for the new driveway. Four,
[15:23] that prior to the assurance of a building permit, the

[15:57] that the owner shall plant and maintain trees as shown
[15:59] on the approved site plan. And finally, eight that the
[16:02] approval will be subject to an expire of two years
[16:04] from the date of decision. If the conditions are not
[16:06] met, if they're proposed development does not proceed and or
[16:09] a building permit is not secured. Any discussion on the
[16:13] motion as read. All those in favor, please raise your
[16:15] hand. So that's approved. And there is that 20 day
[16:18] appeal period. Thank you. Thank you for watching. You too,
[16:22] sir. Okay. Number two on the agenda is A26 -
[16:30] 032M, 1401 Argol, our gall, or not our gall. I'm
[16:38] sorry. I butchered your names here. I can't get the
[16:41] street names. Arghal Court. Come on, dancer. So if you
[16:49] turn your microphone on, and if you can state your
[16:52] name and clarify whether you're the applicant, the agent or
[16:54] the owner. Good evening, Committee members. My name is Mauli
[16:59] Kumar Goshi. I'm the applicant. If you could tell the
[17:02] committee what variances you're applying for and explanation of the
[17:04] purpose and reasons for the application and why you feel
[17:07] it's minor in nature. And you have the floor for
[17:09] five minutes. Sure. Uh, so this 1401er guy is detest
[17:17] value unit with two car garage. Homeowner wants to have
[17:23] a basement apartment and they submitted the building permit application
[17:26] for the same around three months back. And we were
[17:29] advised that to have this minor variance application because just
[17:36] to clarify, so there is existing side door entrance. Which
[17:42] we are proposing to use, to be used as a
[17:45] main entrance for the basement apartment. To meet the Ontario
[17:49] Building Court requirement, we need to provide a fire rated
[17:52] corridor in the garage. So because of that corridor, the
[17:57] available length in the garage reduces to 4. 93 metre.
[18:01] Which is less than the city's menu requirement of 6
[18:04] metre. And that is the reason why we are proposing
[18:07] a manuaryance here. Also would like to confirm that we
[18:13] are still meeting the three parking requirement, one in garage
[18:16] and two on the driveway. Requesting the approval, because this
[18:23] is the most feasible, practical and cost effective way for
[18:27] the homeowner to have this basement apartment. And happy to
[18:30] answer any questions or any clarification. Thank you, sir. Are
[18:34] there any questions of the committee to the agent. None.
[18:39] All right. If you can turn off your mic and
[18:40] have a seat, I'm going to open it up to
[18:41] the public. Are there any members of the public that
[18:44] wish to address the committee on 1401 Argual Court. Going
[18:50] once. Twice. All right. I'm closing public participation and returning
[18:55] it over to the committee, uh, to the planner, Ms.
[18:59] Wellings. Any questions of the committee to Ms. Willings. Done.
[19:04] All right. So I have a motion move by Chris
[19:08] Trombino, seconded by Comfort Ngelaja. Be it resolved that the
[19:11] application for minor variants under section 45, one and two
[19:14] of the Planning Act, file A26 - 032M for 1401
[19:19] Arghal Court in the town of Milton. Be proved subject
[19:22] to the following conditions. One, that the development shall be
[19:25] constructed in accordance with the site plan prepared by spacecraft
[19:28] building permit ink and stamped by Town Zoning on June
[19:31] 23rd, 2026. Two, that a building permit be obtained within
[19:35] two years from the date of decision. And three, that
[19:38] the approval be subject to an expire of two years
[19:40] from the date of the decision if the conditions are
[19:42] not met. If they're proposed development does not proceed and
[19:45] or a building permit is not secured. Any discussion on
[19:48] the motion is read. All those in favor, please raise
[19:51] your hand. So that is a proof, sir. And there
[19:54] is that 20 day appeal period. Thank you for attending.
[20:03] Okay. Um, moving on to number three, which is
[20:09] A26034M7211 5th line. If the agent could come forward. Or
[20:18] representative, sorry. So if you could just turn on your
[20:21] mic. And if you could state your name and clarify
[20:24] whether the applicant agent or owner first, please. My name
[20:27] is Laura LaVell Panzeropolis. Don't worry, you won't be quizzed
[20:30] on it. Um, and I'm a senior planner with the
[20:33] Big Leary group. And I'm here as the agent for
[20:36] the owner. Great. Uh, if you could tell the committee
[20:39] what variances you're applying for, an explanation of the purpose
[20:42] and reasons for the application, why you feel it's minor
[20:44] in nature. And you have the floor for five minutes.
[20:47] All right. So this application for 7211 5th line is
[20:53] for a warehouse building that's in existence, um, it is
[20:57] approximately 255, 000 square feet. It has 175 surface parking
[21:03] spaces currently. No changes are being proposed to the site.
[21:06] So the look at today in terms of a site
[21:09] plan, um, it's only a change to a parking rate
[21:12] that we are proposing. So this site from a planning
[21:16] context is within the urban area, industrial area employment area
[21:20] and zoned for, uh, industrial uses with an exception that
[21:24] limits the types of industrial uses that are on this
[21:27] particular site. So the application is straightforward. We are seeking
[21:31] relief from the zoning bylaw requirement that parking for industrial
[21:36] and warehouse uses on the site be calculated based on
[21:39] the number of tenants or units within the building. Instead,
[21:44] we are requesting that it be calculated based on the
[21:46] entire building GFA. Um, so this will provide flexibility for
[21:51] in the future. Um, the building, the existing building as
[21:55] it is to accommodate additional tenants while maintaining the existing
[21:58] site layout. So that's the purpose here. Parking justification has
[22:02] been provided by Crozier and finds that this proposed rate
[22:07] meets the, uh, that's already met by the existing supply
[22:10] of 170 spaces is sufficient to support anticipated parking uses
[22:15] for even a multi - tenant building, considering the existing
[22:19] permitted uses in the zone. Um, in our opinion, the
[22:23] application is consistent with the four tests under section 45
[22:27] planning act for minor variances. It maintains the intent of
[22:30] the official plan. Um, since employment areas are intended to
[22:34] support a diverse range of uses and make efficient use
[22:37] of employment lands. It maintains the intent of the zoning
[22:42] bylaw, which is to provide appropriate parking for the use,
[22:47] which is demonstrated in crosures parking analysis. And it's desirable
[22:51] and appropriate because it allows the property to respond to
[22:54] changing market demands and supports employment uses in the town.
[22:58] Finally, it is minor in nature. Um, the proposed changes
[23:02] to the site. Nothing you would see on the outside.
[23:05] No proposed changes to the uses. Um, and there have
[23:09] also been identical variances approved on other similar properties in
[23:13] the area, um, to allow it to be, um, evaluated
[23:16] by the building and not by the tenants and also
[23:20] other similar rates that would be equivalent. And I can
[23:24] go into more in depth if you are interested in
[23:27] that minutiae. But for now, thank you so much for
[23:29] your time. And I would be pleased to answer any
[23:32] follow - up questions. Thank you very much. Are there
[23:34] any questions of the committee to the agent? I just
[23:37] have one. So basically the parking is the parking. What's
[23:39] there now is what's going to move forward and stay
[23:42] forever. Perfect. All right. That's correct. Thank you very much.
[23:46] If you just wanted to turn off your mic. I'm
[23:48] going to open it up to the public. Are there
[23:49] any members of the public that wish to address the
[23:51] committee on the application at 721 fifth line. Seeing none,
[23:57] I'm going to move right in. Oh, sorry. Now before
[24:00] I do that, I have to bring it to the
[24:02] planner. Yes. Sorry. I apologise. Just a question. So she
[24:05] talks about the comparisons that they used in the report.
[24:08] There are various other sites warehouses that they compared in
[24:13] this report. Are they all the same kind of business?
[24:17] I know it's warehouse. Why is it the same kind
[24:19] of, um, things they're due in the sink to compare
[24:23] them like for like, just wanting to confirm that. Through
[24:28] you, Mr. Chair. Uh, yes, in this scenario, they did
[24:31] review, um, previous parking data that they had looked at
[24:35] for the actual usage of parking, um, areas incomparable industrial
[24:40] warehouse sites. Um, and our transportation staff were satisfied by
[24:45] the comparables that were provided that they do translate to
[24:48] an appropriate assessment of this site as well. Sorry about
[24:53] that. Did want to stay full discussion. I apologise. Moving
[24:56] on to motion now. I have a motion move by
[24:59] Tyler's thought, seconded by Salman Alahee. Be it resolved at
[25:01] the application for minor variants under section 45, one and
[25:04] two of the Planning Act file A26 - 034M47211 fifth
[25:10] line in the town of Milton. Be approved subject to
[25:12] the following condition that the minor variance shall apply to
[25:15] the 23, 724 square metre building shown on the site
[25:19] plan prepared by Turner Flesher and date and dated and
[25:23] stamped by Town Zoning on June 23rd, 2026. Any discussion
[25:28] on the motion has read. All those in favor, please
[25:31] raise your hand. So that is approved. There is that
[25:33] 20 day appeal period. But thank you very much for
[25:35] attending. Okay. We are on
[25:45] to item number four, which is A26 - 05M0 James
[25:50] Snow Parkway North. The agent, Commando.
[26:01] So if you could just turn on your microphone for
[26:03] us, please. Great. And if you could state your name
[26:06] and clarify whether you are the applicant or the agent
[26:08] for this application. Uh, hello. I'm Jennifer Drewzik with Arcadis.
[26:14] I'm a planner and we are the agent representing the
[26:17] current owner Broccolini for the site at zero James Snow
[26:21] Parkway. Um, we did have some visuals and it would
[26:24] be helpful if I could get number three up or
[26:28] slide three up. Um, as we go through it. As
[26:31] part of this minor variance application, we're also working with
[26:34] staff, uh, throughout a site plan application. And so that's
[26:37] what brought us here today. We're here to bring forward
[26:40] four minor variances. Um, as part of this application, the
[26:45] first one being a request to increase the maximum driveway
[26:49] with a two - way driveway width. That's the one
[26:51] that you see in magenta at the left - hand
[26:53] side. The second minor variance we're requesting is the parking
[26:57] area setback. In blue. And then the green is to
[27:02] permit a trash compactor. Outside of the primary dwelling. And
[27:10] that one's in green. And then the fourth one is
[27:12] an accessory building, which is like specifically it's a smoke
[27:17] shelter. Um, in the front yard, um, you'll see through
[27:20] this figure that it is three frontages that we are
[27:24] dealing with in terms of exposure to the right of
[27:26] way, uh, but the front yard is considered through a
[27:29] site specific zoning bylaw as James Snow Parkway. And, uh,
[27:36] from a planning perspective, um, all four variants do align
[27:41] with the general intent of the town of Milton Official
[27:44] Plan and the town of Milton Zoning bylaw. These are
[27:47] site - specific requests that we're making in order for
[27:50] the prospective tenant, which is Mad Lodge Farms to function
[27:53] on the site from a traffic perspective, um, and from,
[27:57] uh, like a user's perspective as well. Um. Just to
[28:02] go back to the variances as well. We are seeking,
[28:06] um, like minor reductions and the numbers are included there
[28:09] from where we are revising them. So just to go
[28:12] from left and right again, it's from 15 metres to
[28:14] a roar requesting is 25. 2 metres, 1. 5 metres
[28:19] to 1. 2 metres. It's a minor request. And then
[28:23] the other two aren't quantified. From planning perspective from the
[28:30] planning act, uh, and against the minor variance for tests,
[28:33] we do believe that the four variances do maintain the
[28:37] general intent and purpose of the official plan, general intent
[28:41] and purpose of the zoning bylaw. And we do believe
[28:44] that the variances are desirable and appropriate within the proposed
[28:49] industrial use. Uh, and that they are minor in nature.
[28:54] And again, this application is part of a broader site
[28:58] plan application that we're continuing to work with staff. And
[29:00] so, um, things in advance for all the assistants, uh,
[29:05] to get us to this point, uh, but I'm happy
[29:07] to answer any questions. Thank you. Um, are there any
[29:10] questions of the committee to the agents. Nope. All right.
[29:15] Thanks. If you just want to turn off your mic
[29:17] and have a seat. I don't suppose, sir, you're here
[29:19] for this. Okay. And no one's here for the public.
[29:23] All right. So we're going to turn it right over
[29:24] to, uh, I'm closing the public. Okay. Somebody comes back
[29:28] and says, I didn't offer the public a chance to
[29:30] speak. So the public turned over to the committee, the
[29:34] planner is Miss Wellings. Does the committee have any questions
[29:38] of Ms. Welling's. Go ahead. So the second variance is
[29:45] just for me to get this clarity. I know it's
[29:49] the waste is going to be food. Right? Like because
[29:53] it's. It's a food storage with whatever. The smell. Overflow.
[30:01] All those will be taken care of by there will
[30:03] be no issues because I'm foreseeing the situation where later
[30:06] there's like, we have issues with clearing the rubbish. And
[30:10] then because it's outside, we have animal infestations. We have
[30:13] all of that coming around that which could happen. Is
[30:18] it okay where it's located? I know it's been hidden,
[30:20] but stuff like that do happen. Through you, Mr. Chair,
[30:26] that's a great question. So through the site plan process,
[30:29] waste management plan will be provided and approved by regional
[30:33] staff. Further, this is a permitted use. So there's no
[30:37] issue with the use being proposed in the building. So
[30:40] we have no concerns with it being an industrial food
[30:43] type processing facility. Okay. Thank you. So if there's no
[30:49] further discussion, I'm going to move right to motion. Have
[30:51] a motion move by Chris Trambino. Second of Vitaler Slot.
[30:54] Be it resolved that the application for minor variants under
[30:56] section 4512 of the Planning Act file A26 - 035M40.
[31:03] James Snow Parkway North in the town of Milton be
[31:06] approved subject to the following conditions. One, that the development
[31:08] shall be constructed in accordance with the site plan prepared
[31:11] by powers, brown architect and dated and stamped by Town
[31:14] Zoning on June 22nd, 2026, two that a building permit
[31:19] be obtained within two years from the date of the
[31:21] decision. And three, that the approval be subject to an
[31:24] expiry of two years from the date of the decision
[31:26] of the conditions are not met. If they're proposed development
[31:29] does not proceed and or a building permit is not
[31:31] secured. Any discussion on the motion as read. All those
[31:36] in favor, please raise your hand. So that is approved
[31:39] and it is again subject to that 20 day appeal
[31:41] period. Thank you for attending. And last but not least,
[31:48] uh, item number five, A26 - 036M 115125 side road.
[31:55] Come on down. Thank you for your patients. So if
[32:00] you just turn on your mic, and if you could
[32:03] just state your name and clarify whether you're the applicant
[32:05] agent or the owner first, please. Sure. Uh, yeah, my
[32:08] name's Ethan Merritt and I am the agent on behalf
[32:11] of the owner. Great. If you could tell the committee
[32:13] what variances you're applying for and explanation of the purpose
[32:16] and reason for the application and why you feel it's
[32:18] minor in nature. And you have the floor for five
[32:20] minutes. Sure. Um, so the variances to have a pool
[32:24] in the front yard. Typically with residential, I would agree
[32:27] that's not ideal. Um, however, this is an 85 acre
[32:31] rural property. Um, and there was an existing paintball field
[32:37] and business run on this property. And so there was
[32:40] an existing driveway that kind of brought you deep into
[32:43] the property. We're about 50 metres or so off of
[32:47] the road. Um, and so the driveway is just, it
[32:51] stays kind of where it was. And then we just
[32:53] finished building a new build residential home. And now the
[32:58] backyard of the house is now technically the front yard
[33:00] of the property. So we're kind of in this weird
[33:03] little position. Um, where the pool is now in the
[33:06] front yard technically speaking from the road, the absolutely no
[33:11] view of the pool or the house currently. Um, if
[33:14] you drive by, it's full evergreens all year round. Um,
[33:17] so you would never kind of have that in position
[33:19] that you would in that urban setting. Um, but yeah,
[33:22] so we're looking to be granted that pool in the
[33:26] technical front yard. Anyway. Thank you. Are there any questions
[33:31] of the committee to the agent. No. All right. Just
[33:35] turn off your mic. Have a seat. There are no
[33:37] members of the public. So we're going to go straight
[33:39] to the committee. Does the committee have any questions of
[33:42] the planner, which is Ms. Hayes. None. All right. So
[33:50] the long one. Of us should move by comfort on
[33:54] Gallaja. Second of by Chris Trambino. Be it resolved at
[33:57] the application for minor variants under section 4512 of the
[34:00] Planning Act file A26 - 036M for 1151 25 side
