The applicant wishes to subdivide the lands into approximately seven(7) parcels, as illustrated in Appendix A (Proposed Subdivision), and dedicate the municipal roads, but not build or enter into a Works and Servicing Agreement at the time of subdivision. The proposal is to secure this requirement within a restrictive covenant that would defer the required works to be completed prior to issuance of a building permit. ### Table 3: Proposal Data | Current Requirement | Proposed by DVP Application | |---|---| | Dedicated Roads at the time of Subdivision — Complete the works or bond for outstanding works. | Register a covenant that requires the works to be completed prior to a building permit or issuance of occupancy. | ### OPTIONS Source pages: 53–56 ## OPTIONS ### Option 1 That Council: 1.
