Mini storage debate in Belleville

There wasn’t much on the agenda last night, but there was lots of debate at a meeting of Belleville’s planning committee.

The subject was a re zoning of land from industrial to commercial north of St Paul Street near the sewage treatment plant on Belleville’s waterfront.

Peter Kempenaar of Taskforce Engineering wants to build a medical clinic on the property, along with some kind of mini storage facility.

Members on planning were unanimous in not wanting unsightly outdoor storage on the property, which would create an eyesore on the waterfront.

In the end, planning recommended the re zoning, with the stipulation that outdoor storage would NOT be allowed.
