At one point there was a heated moment when an audience member claimed that BMO is a public company and should act in such a way, and a bank official claimed that BMO is a private entity.

The audience member pointed out that BMO stock is publicly traded on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges, and the official said, yes, in that sense BMO is a public company.

The panelists indicated that the decision “was years in the making”. The building that housed the branch has been listed for sale with the realtor Rogers and Trainor for $199,000.

The listing includes a for sale and for lease component, and says there is an “opportunity to leave ATM in place for additional income stream” and lists October 1st as the availability date.”

The News has received a credible report that there are restrictions on the potential uses of that space, and we are attempting to confirm what those restrictions are.

The meeting ended quietly, with plenty of cookies and water remaining unclaimed.

“We, the valued customers, got nothing as a takeaway,” one of the bank’s customers told the News after the meeting. ■

SF Official Plan

Cont. from 3 something for the Official Plan to deal with, but can be tackled as part of a Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw review.

Senior Planner Christine Woods took notes during the question period, and provided some preliminary responses to some of the questions.

“As far as Bill 97, and lot creation on Prime Agricultural Lands, I heard Premier Ford on the radio saying 'oops, we'd better rethink that' after all of the farm organisations have come out against it, so we'll see where that goes,” she said.

Woods said that the boundaries for Prime Agricultural lands are subject to provincial guidelines and can extend beyond areas with Class 1, 2, and 3 soil conditions, and that the prime ag parcels need to be 250 hectares in size (617 acres) although the shape can vary.

As for the lot size of 2 acres, she said that was based on a principle of protecting the water table.

“To create smaller lots, hydro-geological studies are necessary as a protective measure, but that is an option for people wanting to create them.”

She also said that the expectation is that planning staff will report back on progress over time, and that some of the other questions will take more time to answer.

After a couple of other comments from members of the public, Councillor Randy Ruttan said that, in his view, Council and Staff have done as good a job on the Official Plan as they could, given provincial constraints.

Former Councillor Fran Willis made what turned out to be the final comment from the public, by saying, “I remember a professor of mine once saying 'it is like the province is the parent and the municipalities are the child'. It is that sort of relationship and I share your concerns.”

Brad Wright said that staff will take the comments into account and will further consult with the township's Heritage and Lake Ecosystems committees before returning with a final draft of the plan for township approval in the fall. Once approved by the township, it will go before Frontenac County Council for final approval.

Mayor Vandewal reiterated that he has reservations and is not necessarily going to vote in favour of the Official Plan, but none of the other members of council have indicatedpublicly that they intend to oppose it. Approval requires a simple majority among the 9 member council. ■
