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."
