Thank you for your thoughts Rolph.
According to this opinion from October 2013, the legal advice for municipalities was to "act promptly" or risk having facilities grandfathered, if the applicant followed the letter of the new regulation. The Town Council has stated that Cen Biotech has done everything properly.
The fact is that Lakeshore did not act promptly and they are now in the exact situation that the legal opinion described. They know that they are too late, which was expressed at one of the Town Council Meeting when a member said something along the lines of there is nothing we can do to stop this.
The November 12, 2013 Town Council Minutes show very clearly that Lakeshore has reversed course and is now scrabbling. These are direct quotes with the website link below:
"Any proponent will have to be licensed by Health Canada (a rigorous process). Their proposed location will have to meet local zoning and building by-laws."
"Lakeshore has been notified by Cen Biotech Inc. that it has applied to Health Canada for license in Lakeshore (as required by the new regulation)."
"The proposed location is at Manning and North Rear Road (south of the OPP detachment at Manning and 401)."
"It has the correct zoning."
"The proponent has applied to construct a 58,000 sf steel barn to grow and process the plants."
"There is also a fencing application to secure to secure the facility."
" In a meeting with the proponents , they explained that there would be a number of sophisticated security measures in addition to air filtration to remove vapors and odors. "

So in November 2013, Lakeshore met with Cen Biotech, knew they were building a barn to grow and process marijuana, said that the zoning was correct and in January 2014 the Mayor participated in a press conference welcoming Cen Biotech to Lakeshore (at which time Bill stated clearly that they intended to build-out the entire 10.3 acre site and become the world's largest commercial producer of medical marijuana so the Mayor must have fallen asleep during that portion of the press conference). Now, they are claiming that they did not know anything? Something on the Town's end does not add up and the red flags are on the Town's end.
