Julia and Barry Schmidt appeared before Council to discuss the application
regarding the fill site at 23693 - 16 Avenue – Folder No. S0-0607.

They have concerns regarding the impact of the proposal to fill the site at
23693 -16 Avenue will have on drinking water, drainage of surrounding properties
including damage to fresh waterways on their property as well as surrounding
properties and strongly oppose the application. They requested that a letter to the
appropriate parties be sent indicating the Township does not support the application.

2. Patricia Desrochers

Patricia Desrochers and Casper Seitz were in attendance and expressed concerns
regarding the fill site application letter received for 23693 -16 Avenue.

She has been in contact with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the
Agricultural Land Commission, however she did not receive a response. She also
spoke to Township staff on the matter.

They do not want their properties environmentally compromised, their property

values decreased and their revenue producing farm status negatively affected.
