  • Very similar to the 215 Ross Drive Application.
  • Main difference is that this is a standard plan of subdivision vs. plan of condominium.
  • Monitoring for species at risk and specialized septic systems are required.
  • Shore road allowance has been closed many years ago therefore each lot goes to the shoreline.

Mike Phelps

  • Will access to Lot 3 be through the private access road or will Ross drive be extended?
  • Should wait until the new Watershed Study is completed before Applicant is heard.
