The second applicant to address council was Jing Jing Zhang, who sought approval to open a dumpling and noodle processing plant at 18-630 Discovery Drive in Grande Pointe.
Zhang assured council that the plant would not produce any excess noise or noxious odors.
Council approved the application, limiting the hours of operation between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Meanwhile, at 483 Main Street in Île-des-Chênes, applicant Mike Fast was looking for permission to develop the community’s old convent into a multifamily dwelling consisting of eight rental units.
A representative for Fast’s numbered company stepped forward to answer questions.
“We are not the owners, but we have an offer to purchase,” she said. “However, we don’t want something that’s not in compliance.”
Councillor Shane Pelletier informed the applicant that there are boundary issues with the neighbouring parish hall that will need to be addressed. Namely, these include an eave on the southside of the existing building that overhangs the church property. As well, the wall on the same side needs to be upgraded for fire rating.
Even so, he said, he’s looking forward to the property being under the ownership of someone local as opposed to someone living out of province.
Approaching council to share their concerns were parish council president Trudeau and vice-president Vernier.
“We’ve attempted to work out a settlement with the current owner, but he breached the verbal agreement for far too long, so the offer was withdrawn,” Vernier said.
