ALDERMEN DISQUALIFIED FROM VOTE

Property Near Airport

In final consideration of a re-
zoning application, postponed
from a previous meeting. for lack

of .a- quorum, North Saanich
Council, Monday, voted. against
approval.

The request .for.re-zoning had
come from Mr. and Mrs. A. G.
Gilmore, 9191 Rideau, who had
made application for a change
from residential to Inn zoning in
order to permit development of a
mote]: complex.

The property (2 lots comprising
4 and one-half acres) is near the
airport exit from the Pat Bay
Highway and is bounded on four
sides by the highway, McTavish
Road, Canora. Road and Rideau
Road.

The. tie vote (two for, two
against). was declared. lost by
Mayor J.B. Cumming for lack of
the required two thirds majority.
_ Mayor Cumming - had earlier

on the by-law. as: they did not
attend the public meeting held to -
hear community opinion on the
‘application.

This disqualification had
resulted in the matter not being :
considered. at Council’s previous
meeting because the absence. of
two. other Aldermen resulted in.
