Clerk’s Note: Please note that all development prerequisites
listed in the Community Development Division report to Council of June 24, 2019 attached to the Bylaw have been satisfactorily addressed. Please note that the matter raised by Council at the time of third reading has been addressed as follows:
“That a prerequisite be added that states that if and when municipal water becomes available in the area, that the proponent be required to hook up”.
a. The proponent has provided a restrictive covenant requiring municipal water connection to the proposed lots when available.
The Public Hearing for the Bylaws was held on July 8, 2019 with third reading given on July 22, 2019. In accordance with Council policy, staff advise that the Public Hearing for the Bylaws was held more than a year prior to the proposed final reading date. Although resolution of the development prerequisite items was on-going and the on-site rezoning sign(s) remained in place, the Bylaws were delayed for the following reasons:
a. Challenges with achieving acceptable site servicing in accordance with the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw.
