The Chair advised that Councillor Qadri, on
behalf of Councillor Wilkinson, was requesting the addition of an item to the
agenda with respect to the deletion of sidewalk requirements for Applecross
Crescent.
Councillor Qadri indicated that he was
requesting suspension of rules because project in question was going forward
and it would be the optimum time to stop the sidewalk from being constructed
and to delete it from the development.
Moved by Councillor S. Qadri:
That
the Planning And Environment Committee approve the addition of this item for
consideration by the Committee at today’s meeting, pursuant to section 84(3) of
the Procedure By-law (being by-law no. 2006-462).
CARRIED
John Moser, General Manager of Planning and
Growth Management indicated staff had been made aware of the motion. It was his understanding that the subdivision
in question had shown there was not going to be a sidewalk in front of these
residences, and that the residents were aware and had raised the issue.
Moved by Councillor S. Qadri:
