Marty Mockler of MHM Property Management advised that he has worked closely with staff, and that the development will include 2 affordable housing units and 1 barrier free unit. Mr. Mockler advised that he went to some of the neighbours and they all expressed support. On a question regarding the parking, he advised that he plans to move the barrier free parking spot closer to the unit. Brent Stewart expressed concern over the design of the building, and thought that the TP-6 standards should be applied. He read his written submission for the Committee that was submitted to the Planner.
