Paul & Caroline Smith
Mr. Smith presented a written statement. A copy of the statement was
attached to the agenda and available to all Council members.
Mr. Smith and the listed families above oppose the proposed Land Use Bylaw
amendment. Citing the current policy Analysis, they stated that Beamish
Road is not an arterial or collector highway. It is a rural residential road and
therefore not suitable for this type of development.
They are opposed to this proposed change no matter what concessions or
agreements the owner makes to the Municipality.
They are also opposed to stipulations in the proposed development
agreement and have the following concerns:
Will there be a security fence and locked gate enclosing the
compound?
Is the owner aware that there are numerous trails that access
the back of properties on this side of Beamish Rd? What
measures will be taken to ensure local residents that these trails
through our properties will not be used the access the compound
for vandalism and theft?
Will there be the necessary security lighting for the compound?
If so, what provisions will be made that that stray light does not
impinge on the quality of life of adjacent property owners?
Does the property have a driveway access permit issued by TIR?
Has the driveway culvert installation been approved by TIR as it
was owner installed?
Has TIR confirmed that the access to the property will handle
large vehicles by use of Transportation Association of Canada
Turning Vehicle Templates?
What independent body will ensure that fuel and sewage are not
left in the vehicles left for storage? Where and how will fuel &
sewage be removed and disposed of?

Regular Meeting of Council – July 24 2019

The previous owner of this property cleared his land to the
property line. What buffer zone will be applied between this
commercial operation and adjacent residential properties? What
provision will be made to ensure that trees on adjacent
residential properties will not fall into the commercial
development and damage stored vehicles? Who will be held
liable if this occurs?
The statement that the owner will build a residence on the
property in the future means nothing as this cannot and will not
be enforced.
In conclusion, they requested that Council deny the application from
3264532 Nova Scotia Limited to amend the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) to enter
into a development agreement with the Municipality of East Hants to permit
the storage of recreational vehicles and watercraft at 36 beamish Road, East
