Business park development hits snag
By Liz Dadson

Work Continues on New Days Inn
 


Gord Harris is hoping Kincardine council can help him out of a predicament with his development in the business park at the corner of Highways 9 and 21.

The owner of DHC Developments spoke to council during the public forum Dec. 17, regarding the north end of the park where the Boston Pizza and Days Inn are located. Because the severance on part of the development is under appeal, he wants to separate the northerly forest reserve from the southerly forest reserve to continue work on the project. His solicitor suggested he sell the northern portion back to the municipality for $1 and then have the municipality sell it back to him for $1 to separate the two.

Later, in committee-of-the-whole, deputy mayor Laura Haight said she would rather have Chief Building Official, Michele Barr, at the meeting when this is being discussed. "We couldn't really give him an answer tonight anyway," she said. "I'd suggest we have the chief building official and our administration report back to us in January."

"Does this stop construction for Mr. Harris?" asked councillor Guy Anderson.
"We're running into problems and we're going to start needing funding from the bank," said Harris. "We can't get it without this problem being solved."

Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll said Harris should work with municipal staff who will then bring the issue to council in January.

"Council wants to help if we can," said mayor Larry Kraemer, "but we need the proper tools here."
