Consultations:
As a result of the previous circulation of an application for conversion to condominium tenure to various municipal departments and agencies/bodies for review and comment, no circulation was undertaken for this condominium approval application. Municipal and agency requirements have been addressed and implemented through the conversion to condominium tenure, and the registration of a final plan of condominium. (File CDM-007/09, registered as ECP-169 on June 16, 2016.)
Public Notice:
No public notification is required where exemptions are requested and the development is properly zoned for the permitted use. Nevertheless, notice was mailed to all property owners within 120 metres (400 feet) and notice was also given in the Windsor Star.
