Summary

Deputy planning director Jennifer Grama recommended a two‑year lease renewal to allow the Przybylskis to continue operating Happy Trails Farm at 36 Mountainville Road; the commission issued a positive referral to city council, subject to corporation counsel review and the conditions in the staff report.

Deputy planning director Jennifer Grama presented an 08/24 city council referral regarding a lease renewal for Happy Trails Farm (36 Mountainville Road). Grama said the city purchased the property last year and issued a one‑year lease to the Przybylskis to allow them to occupy and operate the horse farm; staff now recommends a two‑year renewal to continue equine boarding, training and related resident activities.

Grama told the commission staff has no objection and recommends a positive referral to city council, subject to review by corporation counsel and the lease terms deemed appropriate by the council. A commissioner moved for a positive referral that included the conditions noted in the staff report; another commissioner seconded and the commission voted to forward a positive referral.

Next steps: the referral will go to city council for formal action; staff indicated the referral is contingent on corporation counsel review and council approval.
