Committee and provided a verbal presentation regarding the proposed commercial
and residential development. An architectural model was provided as a visual

The need for secondary access and
appropriate location

Waste collection for the
residential building

Importance of including a clause
in their condominium documents regarding inaccessibility to the parking lot and
