2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 
 
The following additions to the agenda were presented for consideration:

11.4 GL-RZ-2017.2 (Mignault) 
Applicants Line-Marie St. Jacques and Bernard Mignault provided a copy of an unsigned 
Tax Receipt to the Local Trust Committee (LTC). 
  
Planner Stockdill noted it was up to the LTC to decide if the information provided

option was to decide whether to schedule a Public Hearing (PH) for this application.  
 
The applicants were asked whether they knew the exact amount of land donated and 
whether the information provided reflected a sale and a donation. Mr. Mignault 
indicated that the donation part is approximately 4.5 acres and that the Tax Receipt 
shows both a sale and a donation. He stated that the land appears on Islands Trust maps 
as Lot B. The applicant indicated they had donated another part of the property as a 
public right-of-way and also dedicated a right-of-way for the trail that goes in and out of

the property on the way to the park, as a walking trail, as well as a full right-of-way for 
the public.  
 
It was noted the word “donation” appears several times on the Tax Receipt provided.  
Trustee Pottle requested more information and asked for a staff report. She did not feel 
ready to proceed to a Community Information Meeting (CIM) and PH.  
 
Mr. Mignault noted that the Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection bought the 
property. He stated he also has a receipt of him declaring it on his income tax for the 
year (2003).  Mr. Mignault was not aware of any other information available.  
 
Trustee Harris noted that the LTC needs to hear from the public what they think of this 
rezoning. He would support a PH and CIM in September; staff and the applicants would 
have another 8 weeks, until then, to find more information.
