COMMENTS

With respect to item 1(d) it was determined by the Director of Engineering that no road dedication was required, as all frontage improvements could be contained within the existing road and boulevard. The applicant has registered a Sec. 219 covenant against the title of the subject property that agrees to 1(e) items i. through vi. of Council’s resolution of May 15, 2015.

No other conditions have been placed on the subject application to rezone 3130 Jacklin Road, however, Council may wish to add conditions at this time.

Bylaw No. 1692 was signed by the Minister of Transportation on September 7th, 2017.

1. Adopt Bylaw No. 1692; or
