Bev Day that the Planning Advisory Committee consent to the continuation of a similar non-conforming use presented by the consolidation of two previously separately developed building lots, to permit the construction of a dwelling to replace an existing cottage on the property AND approve the following Variance to the Town’s Zoning By-law, Town of Grand Bay-Westfield By-law No. 112, to permit the proposed construction to locate the top of foundation at an elevation 2.94 m below the required elevation based on the submitted site grading plan, to be located at 87 Shannon Road, PID No. 30283311.
