WV developer claims ‘legal, moral right’ FROM PAGE A1 his application for a mixed residential/commercial complex. But the neighbors of the proposed development took up the cry of democracy to demand their mghts, as residents, to the kind of development that they want. One resident told council he was “bitterly disap- pointed” at its disregard for residents. Humphries asked whether the original application for townhouses had been cir- culated for neighborhood response, and was told it had not. However, in defence of council, Mayor Derrick Humphreys said the area has been zoned commercial for “35 years at least.” He said that at any time residents could have asked to have it changed. Isaacs told council it was his “legal and moral nght” to build his development to suit its Zoning. He added, there are “so many checks and municipal controls, 1's getting almost impossible to be a developer ~ John Savage, who lives half a block from the site even questioned the licgality of the zoning guildelines., contending that according to the way the zoning bylaw 15 written, there is no residential developmeat allowed in that type of commercial zone Alderman Robert Hicks asked that the legality be looked into by staff. Humphries admitted there had been a possible “gap of information” but defended council, saying it makes an honest effort to get com- munity involvement. He said it wasn't necessary for them to have so many public hearings and meetings but that they were part of a community service. Council later approved the development subject to the legality of the proposal within the current zoning being confirmed.
