The Windsor Police Service has no objections with the proposed amendment to the

Zoning By-Law to permit the construction of a four unit multiple dwelling at this location. Safety and security for the residents and the surrounding neighbourhood is a priority for

Windsor Police therefore the following important site safety features be included part of the project:

The owner shall ensure the tenant parking lot situated off the abutting rear alley is provided with lighting that yields a minimum illumination level of 2.0 foot-candles (21.53 lux)

The building shall have a prominently placed street address number that is visible, without obstruction, from the adjacent roadway that it fronts (Arthur

Road) to facilitate an effective level of police response in an emergency.
