Rezoning Application Deferred

Alberton's township council deferred making a decision last night on a rezoning application that could lead to Weechi-it-ti-win Family Services setting up its Training and Learning Centre on property currently owned by the Arpin Family.

Council will revisit the application, brought forward by Gayle Arpin, at its August Meeting.

It's also planning to hold a special meeting at the end of this month to conduct a review of its official plan and zoning by-laws as it relates to the application.

Council also approved an interim control by-law prohibiting group homes being set up on lands designated rural residential for at least one year so it can further study issues related to such development.

The by-law does not impact on the Arpin application.
