HAWKESBURY | Every year, people make resolutions to get fit, become financially secure or to make their lives better in some way.

However, there are those who don’t make resolutions and just want to be healthy. Felix Rozon has been a member of Top Gym on Main Street for about a year. “I train here often,” said Ro- zon.“To be healthy and fit.”Jesse Rouleau, an employee of Top Gym, said his resolution is to be fit for summer.“It’s different every year,” said Rouleau. “This year, everyone seems to want to lose weight and be fit for summer.” Living a better Life Weight loss is among the top five resolu-

BUT ET EFFET : Depuis plusieurs mois, le Conseil a préparé une étude sur les redevances d'aménagement et un projet de règlement qui s’appliquera aux nouveaux développements sur le territoire de la municipalité. Les redevances d'aménagement seront imposées sur les nouveaux développements qui ont pour effet d’accroître les besoins sur les services municipaux tels que les transports, la protection incendie et les loisirs et les services culturels. Les redevances d'aménagement sont exigées au moment de l’émission d’un permis de construction. Le nouveau règlement sur les redevances d'aménagement remplacera le règlement actuellement en vigueur et sera valide pour les cinq prochaines années. Les redevances d'aménagement s’appliquent au nouveau développement résidentiel et non-résidentiel. Le développement non-résidentiel comprend les bâtiments commerciaux, industriels, institutionnels et agricoles. Les redevances ne s’appliquent pas à l’agrandissement d’un bâtiment industriel existant si l’agrandissement est inférieure à 50%de la superficie plancher brute existante. Les bâtiments ou les structures accessoires tel qu’un garage privé, une remise de jardin, une piscine et tout bâtiment non-résidentiel de moins de 10m2 (107.6 p.2) de superficie plancher brute sont exemptés des redevances. TOUTE PERSONNE peux assister à la réunion publique et/ou faire des représentations écrites ou orales,soitenfaveurousoitenoppositionauRèglementproposésurlesredevancesd'aménagement.

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet will hold a Public Meeting on Monday the 2nd day of February, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., at the Plantagenet Community Hall, 220 Main Street, in order to consider a proposed Development Charges By-Law under Section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 . Purpose and Effect: Council has over the last several months prepared a development charges study and a draft by-law which will apply to new development throughout the municipality. Development charges will be imposed on new development which increases the need for municipal services such as transportation services, fire protection and recreation and cultural services. Development charges are collected at the time a building permit is issued. The new development charges by-law will replace the current by-law and will be valid for a period of five years. Development charges will apply to both new residential and non-residential development. Non-residential development includes commercial, industrial, institutional and farm buildings. The charge does not apply to the expansion of an existing industrial building where the expansion is less than 50%of the existing gross floor area. Other buildings or structures which will be exempted from the charge include accessory uses such as a private garage, a storage building, a garden shed, a swimming pool and any non-residential building with less than 10m2 of gross floor area (107.6 ft.2).
ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Development Charges By-Law.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION related to the proposed Development Charges By-Law is available during regular office hours at the municipal offices.
