The Committee discussed the following relative to the proposed development:
- Suggested that the Applicant work with staff to improve the design of the application so that is more compatible with the existing community.
- Received confirmation from Staff that townhouses and single detached dwellings are not subject to Site Plan Control.
- Expressed concern that the Comprehensive By-Law 2024-19, although under appeal, would require a greater minimum lot frontage.
