At council on Tuesday August 17, we received a request from Bridgecreek to rezone the old glass shop in Blairmore from C2 to Direct Control. (Next door to the Blairmore Legion)
In the background information they informed us that they needed the property to be Direct Control because their proposed development (24 bungalow style residences) would not conform with present R3 guidelines in our municipal Land Use Bylaw.
In the information package they also informed us that they would be requesting Council to waive the "Off site levy charge" for the project. At approximatly $5000 a units it would be a loss to the municipality of $120,000.
A Motion was made be Councilor Taje to support first reading of the rezoning request, the Motion was defeated by a vote of 4-3 with Mayor Irwin Councilors Mitchell and Taje in favour.
Councilors Cole, Macleod, Salus and Ward opposed.

I suspect that the Mayor and his two cohorts must be heavily invested to continue supporting the BBoys and their scams. Unbelievable.

Dean,
You should have said, "A Motion was made by Councilor Taje, former employee of Bridgcreek Development, to support first reading of the rezoning request ...
Interesting that is was Gary who brought forth the motion. Hmmm.
I had a good laugh reading Bill Bradley's comments in the Herald. This guy has no shame. He's lucky that Council even chose to listen to him. He should have been tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail. His proposed project appeared to be nothing more that a way to get some dollars out of the discovery centre property, and it's interesting that the project was to be financed mostly with government grant money with the usual zero contribution from his own pocket. The fact that he took Council's rejection as a personal insult indicates to me that this guy is beyond hope. Good riddance to him and his gang of crooks.
You should have voted for these condos they would have been ready by next spring. Then the money used from this venture would have got the River Run Project going. Which means we would have had our indoor swimming pool/waterpark. Think of all the taxes it would have paid the town.

Go back to tending your grow-op Jay.
Wow, BB strikes again. He builds his 24 so called units or does he take the free grants and buys more land in Arizona. Just great BB, what a smart move to box in the RiverRun 67 lots!!!!
