Despite the recommendation from the Planning Advisory Comittee----Common Council is denying the request to rezone 1070 Sand Cove Road. David Baker wanted to buy the property and have it rezoned from single family to two family dwelling and build a duplex but neighbours appeared before council voicing concerns over water drainage. Councillor Bruce Court says he used to live in the neighbourhood and knows how damp it is.
Court says if the city cannot handle the flooding that is happening in the area now, then there shouldn't be more development.
