Administration previously advised the Applicant prior to and at the August 27, 2013 Council Meeting (1st Reading) that it would be unable to support the application at Public Hearing unless these matters were addressed. To date, Administration has not received satisfactory responses on several storm water management and other issues. Administration has reserved the following potential dates to reconvene the Public Hearing subject to Council approval:
