A Belleville motel’s plans for a large expansion will go to an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing in October.
The Avalon Motel on North Front Street has reached an agreement with six property owners on North Park Street to sever part of their backyards for the addition.
However, another neighbour, concerned about a new building being so close, has appealed to the O-M-B, and a meeting is set for City Hall on October 15th.
Belleville’s Manager of Approvals, Spencer Hutchinson, says the land to be severed would also have to be rezoned from residential to commercial before the work could begin.
