A Delegation Is Concerned About the Future of the Zoo.

Flin Flon City Council had passed on first reading bylaws to amend the Flin Flon Development Plan to rezone a portion of the park that includes the Joe Brain Children’s Petting Zoo from Parks and Recreation to a Multiple Dwelling zone to allow for the possible construction of seniors housing.  At Tuesday night’s meeting a full room of concerned citizens came to learn more about the rezoning.

             

Mayor Cal Huntley emphasized there is no intent to close the zoo. He said there has been interest in developing that property but there are no developers looking at it right now.  He said if we do get interest the zoo will be moved but we have to be investment ready without waiting for a long slow process taking place.

             

Among the issues raised were people care about the assets we have in the community including the zoo, we need green spaces in our community, the zoo gives children a place to go in a convenient location, the cost of moving the zoo with Councillor Tim Babcock noting that cost can be add to the price of the property and they were told the new Council would have the option of changing the rezoning if passed.

             

Huntley added Council believes the community will continue to thrive and we need and will keep services available for children but we also need to provide services to keep seniors in our community.

             

Council later passed the rezoning bylaws on second reading and noted they will be presented for final reading at the next meeting and could be passed, tabled or defeated taking into consideration the objections raised.
