It was a full house at Rothesay Town Hall as people came out to debate the possibility of building condos on land near Rothesay Elementary School. Two contractors are looking to connect Robertson Drive and Clermont Lane to build a set of duplexes. George Teed lives on neighbooring Highland Avenue and is against the development saying it would change the character of the subdivision.
Teed says if the project does go forward and his property taxes don't go down he will be the first to scream and yell. Stephen Maltby argues building the condos goes against the Municipal Plan's efforts to protect neighboorhoods that are already in existance. The development would change the area from a low density area to moderate density. Rothesay Town Council voted in favour of building condos despite the opposition
