OMB in favour of zoning bylaw amendment By Andy Bader Mitchel Advocate It took an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) chair less than two hours to rule in favour of a zoning bylaw amendment for a Dublin business. On Dec. 3, the OMB ruled that an application to change the zoning of Cronin Contracting, owned by Joan Cronin for her son Darrel's contracting business, could proceed from the existing future development to light industrial, and allow for future expansion at their location on John Street. In order for that to happen, though, a site plan would still have to be approved by West Perth council. This verbal OMB ruling allows the proposal to move to the next step. • West Perth municipal council originally ruled last March that the existing and future use of the business, currently used for a warehouse, and a proposed 60 -ft. x 90 -ft. building, was not a good fit, siding with neighbours , who complained abut the amount of garbage, noise pollution and safety concerns at the business location. "We're happy with the result, obviously," said Barry Card, of London, who acted as solicitor for the Cronins in their legal fight. "It's too bad it took so long." A petition of 24 residents of Raglan and John Streets in Dublin was presented to council last March, asking that the zoning amendment and the proposed expansion not proceed. Most of the neighbours' complaints were to be addressed with a revised site plan and a contained structure at the location, council was told at the time, but still council chose to refuse it, ignoring advice from their planner, Mark Swallow, and their planning advisory committee. In an ironic twist, Swallow was subpoenaed to provide evidence against the municipality in the case. Card said the use of the property was the first issue of contention, and the OMB decision "clears that up" and paves the way for the building's construction. "It's not going to happen instantly. anyway," he said, referring to the building. Hiring a solicitor, Mike Mitchell, to represent their side was not unanimous ,by council in September when they discovered that the issue would indeed go to the OMB.
