Councillor John Hammond wondered why the developer didn’t attend. “I believe the purchaser has an intended use for this property,” he said. “That’s why he wants that additional 40 feet.” Hammond said he thinks the holding symbol should remain a condition. Councillor Paul Tiessen agreed, saying, “We don’t want this sitting in disrepair for 10 years.” Councillor Bill Dunn said the purchaser not coming to the meeting to explain his plans made his decision easier. He had gone back and forth with his decision up until then. “With the purchaser not coming forward to let us know what is going on,
I’ve changed my mind on this.” Despite that, Wilkinson made a motion to withdraw the holding symbol and allow the severance with all other conditions met. It was seconded by Councillor Trevor Jones. In a 4-3 vote, Wilkinson’s motion was defeated. Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke, Wilkinson and Jones voted for it, with Tiessen, Hammond, Dunn and Mayor MacDonald voting against. To close the issue, Councillor Tiessen moved to accept the recommendation by administration to require the holding designation as part of the severance approval and it was seconded by Councillor Hammond. The vote was once again 4-3, with Tiessen, Hammond, Dunn and Mayor MacDonald voting for, while Verbeke, Wilkinson and Jones voted against.
