There was discussion regarding

William Kwok, Markham resident addressed the Committee regarding the
application submitted by KLM Planning Partners Inc. on behalf of Cornell Rouge
Development Corporation for a Zoning By-Law Amendment and Draft Plan of
Subdivision and spoke in opposition. He
inquired why the site is no longer being developed as a place of worship or
other amenity space. Mr. Kwok stated
concerns insufficient snow storage space along the public laneway.
