On June 22, 2020 North West Community Council gave consideration of holding a Public Hearing for this Planning Application. However, given the level of community interest on this proposed development, North West Community Council decided not to schedule a Public Hearing at this time. The North West Community Council will reconsider scheduling a Public Hearing once “in-person” Public Hearings can proceed safely and with the expected number of attendance.
On June 22, 2020 North West Community Council passed the following motion:
MOVED by Councillor Streatch, seconded by Councillor Russell THAT North West Community Council defer giving notice of motion to consider the proposed development agreement, as set out in Attachment A of the staff report dated May 4, 2020, for approximately six (6) months until such time that in-person public hearings can safely resume. MOTION TO DEFER PUT AND PASSED.”
Staff are currently undertaking a detailed review of the application. Upon completion of the staff review a report will be submitted to the North West Community Council wish to consider the development agreement, a public hearing will be held. At the public hearing members of the public may address Community Council or submit written comments in advance. Anyone who received notification of the Tuesday, June 26, 2018 public meeting will also receive notice of the public hearing. Notice of the public hearing will also appear in the municipal notices section of the Chronicle Herald and on the municipal website.
An Open House was held on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at the Riverline Activity Centre - 80 Grono Rd, Dutch Settlement, NS. The purpose of the meeting was to receive feedback regarding the application.
