Administrative Recommendation
Administration supports the amendments as proposed in Bylaw 2013-17 to amend Land Use Bylaw 20-2009 as well as amendments to Fees & Charges Schedule E.5.

The security deposits are $10,000.00 and $5,000.00 for single detached dwellings and single wide manufactured homes, respectively. A discussion of this matter and review of three adjacent municipalities' practices were presented at the GPC meeting of May 21, 2013.
