3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
Louise Decario distributed and read an email she sent detailing questions she asked at last 
meeting’s town hall RE: DL-37 (Stevens) that she says were not answered during the referral 
discussion, and asked that they be answered today. Her concerns included: 
 The rationale for the change in the application from FLR to a split-zone 
 Missing comments from neighbours on traffic as requested via a resolution from the 
Trust 
 Concerns about the east side road which has been dug up, with trees planted, so that 
there no longer is any access to roads beyond 
Ms. Decario clarified that the questions in her email were primarily addressed to staff, and 
requested that her email be forwarded to Planner Milne, which was done. Chair Busheikin asked 
Planner Milne to add this request as a memorandum next time the Stevens application appears 
on the LTC agenda.
