PUBLIC AND STATUTORY HEARINGS

07-0906-END-DVP
Lot A, Sec. 26, Twp. 18, Range 9, KDYD, Plan KAP78108 except Plan KAP78763 - 146 Cliffview Drive
Applicant: 427356 BC Ltd.

Councillor Vetter declared a conflict, as the applicant is his wife, and left the meeting.

The Mayor introduced the application and invited speakers.

Pete Shatzko, Engineer for the applicant made the following comments:
- Sidewalk on Reservoir Road: There are no other sidewalks in this area. Due to steep slope, considerable fill would be required, spoiling the aspect of the future lots.
- Road Base: Existing road was paved by the City with asphalt pushed to the north side of the right-of-way. Approximately 8 feet are on the applicant's property. For the three new lots created on Cliffview Drive, widening of the right-of-way to 11 feet onto private property was required. The previous subdivision (Robinson) in 1992 saw the road re-constructed.
- Street Lighting: It is felt that installation of street lighting will cause light to shine down on new lots. There has been no precedence established for street lighting in this area.

There were no written submissions and no other speakers.
