March 13,2012 Regular Council
Public Hearing
PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS
Mr. Richard Biedka, 1232 Ioco Road, requested an explanation of how the changes would restrict the height to three storeys and how the definition for basement impacts the total height of the building. He also noted that there is no consideration in the bylaw for houses being built on slopes where if the house is situated higher on the slope, the total height of the building would appear larger relative to neighbouring houses, than if sited lower down on the slope.
He added that he has been impacted by this type of construction and expressed the view that he should be permitted the same standards as properties already developed under the current regulations. Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT Bylaw No. 2919 be forwarded to the March 13, 2012 Regular Council meeting for further consideration.
