There seemed to be some confusion at the April 11, 2023 Special Council Meeting regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for 256 Dalhousie Street.

The Notice stated that comments had to be submitted by Thursday, April 6, 2023 before the meeting and would be read aloud prior to the application being heard by Council.

Mr. Robert Brown, a professional planner, spoke at the April 11 meeting on behalf of some Salmoni building residents. Brown said he provided some information to council and wanted to summarize it. He referred to the town report that included several pages of support but it seemed to not include comprehensive feedback that he submitted on behalf of his clients on April 3.

The April 11 agenda included several attachments; one was a Summary of Correspondence Received on Proposed ZBA for 256 Dalhousie Street by the Planning Services Division as of March 30, 2023.

Councillor Pouget asked about Mr. Brown’s submission; listen to the audio recording.

Brown said he sent a separate submission to planning on April 3. Councillor Pouget asked if council received his entire submission. Councillor Linden Crain said he trusted the clerk, that it’s in Sharepoint.

I requested, and received, a copy of Robert Brown’s report. I deleted personal information.
