There were no public speakers or comments.

Committee member Chris Burns questioned if the proposed rear property line would be in line with the properties to the south. 

Mr. Ingersoll advised that the rear property line is in line with the adjacent property to the north, not the adjacent property to the south. The property to the south was 30 m wide at one time and was severed into 4 separate properties, that is why they have a deeper property. Committee member Burns confirmed that the property to the north is 375 Lake Drive North.

Committee member Chris Burns then confirmed that the property has already been serviced from Metro Road. Mr. Ingersoll advised that it was completed in 2002.
