Airport contract, $308K sewer study among items on Greenstone council agenda
Greenstone council considered renewing the airport management contract through 2027 and awarding a $308,189.32 sanitary sewer investigation contract during its June 22 regular meeting, according to the published agenda. No council decisions are final until meeting minutes are approved; minutes for these recent sessions have not yet been released.
Regular Council Meeting (June 22)
The agenda for the regular council meeting included several action items:
- A contract extension for Airport Management & Operations with Loomex, extending the agreement until Dec. 31, 2027.
- Awarding a contract for an Inflow & Infiltration Investigation to Civica Infrastructure Inc. at a cost of $308,189.32.
- A deputation addressing public participation rules and the Procedure By-Law.
- Approval of By-Law 26-31 for fire protection services with Animbiigoo Zaagi'igan Anishinaabek.
- Approval of By-Law 26-32, a new Travel and Expense Reimbursement Policy.
Committee of Adjustment (June 22)
The Committee of Adjustment considered a minor variance application (MV-2026-002) for a new single detached dwelling at 42 Rintas Road on Wildgoose Lake. The applicant requested four variances from Zoning By-Law 23-77:
- Reduce the shoreline setback from the high-water mark from 30 metres to 20 metres (65.6 feet).
- Reduce the waterfront front yard setback from 30 metres to 20 metres.
- Allow a porch projection of 3.05 metres (10 feet) into the front yard, exceeding the maximum 3.0 metres.
- Temporarily permit two dwellings on the lot during construction, with the condition that the existing cottage be demolished within 12 months of an occupancy permit for the new home.
The staff recommendation was to approve the variances with conditions.
Public Meeting (June 24)
A public meeting covered two zoning proposals. The first was a by‑law amendment to rezone 517 Main Street, Geraldton, from General Commercial (C1) to Residential Medium Density Exception (R2-X). The change would legalize two existing single detached dwellings and a garage on the property.
The second proposal involves the work camp at 107 Old Arena Road. The applicant seeks to extend Temporary Use By-Law 23-35 for an additional three years and to build four new dormitory wings, adding 120 bed units for a total capacity of 733 beds. Residents were able to submit written comments or speak at the meeting. Council received planning reports and public input; decisions will be made at a later meeting.
