The following is provided as a result of our review of Zoning ByeLaw Amendment Z—013~19, [ZNG— 5875], and application for Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval SDN—003-19, [SDN-5831]. The applicant is requesting a zoning amendment for the subject lands from "Development Reserve District (DRD1.1) to "Residential District (RD2.1) and "Green District 111 (GD1.1) in order to permit the proposed development of a new residential subdivision. This subdivision is proposed to contain single-detached units, and semi-detached units to equal a total of 49 units. It is our understanding that a block will be created for parkland use, a hedgerow buffer area, and a stormwater management pond within the development. We also acknowledge that a holding zone symbol will be in place until a Final Plan of Subdivision can be registered.
