on the existing wildlife corridor and asked that both the corridor and the heritage trees on the property be protected. He also expressed concern with the work to be done on the arterial
route and the safety issues at the intersection. He referred to a road running north-south between the proposed development and a neighbouring property and asked whether the road will
be removed. Beryl Eales Ms. Eales referred to the Jackson Farm property and the perception that the area is not public property. She expressed concern with the size of a sign on the
property beside the Jackson Farm and asked why there is no sign on the 37 acres making up Jackson Farm. She spoke to the five year time line it may take to develop the farm and suggested
fundraising for park development. She requested a definition of the term “passive parkland”. The General Manager of Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services described the
consultation process to determine future use of the park and advised that operating funds associated with the park are currently not in the five year plan. She also advised that there
no sign on the property as public use of the park is not encouraged until the consultation process is complete. Richard Lechkobit Mr. Lechkobit spoke to Item 1101 and expressed concerned
over the widening of the road. He asked for details on the proposed width of the road. The Manager of Development and Environmental Services advised that as the proposal is at first

information on plans for rezoning of the land on the south side. The Manager of Development and Environmental Services advised that the District will wait for a subdivision development
