BACKGROUND PATTERN
large number of people attended Tuesday's Village of Chase Council meeting to speak to the issue of the Official Community Plan amendment application put forward by the owners of 950 Hysop Road. Several people spoke about their opposition to any development occurring on 950 Hysop Road, citing that the public walk on the lands, that birds and other creatures use the lands as a sanctuary, that the lands
are in a flood plane concerns were raised about how much the taxpayer's might in future have to pay if the lands were developed and then flooded, and that previous Councils have turned down any development on the lands. The proposal before Council was to consider putting the OCP amendment bylaw to a public hearing. Council voted to terminate any further consideration of the application.
