City council has given the green light to two subdivision projects that include rearranging property boundaries and extending a sewer to a new property.

Council gave unanimous approval to both projects during the recent regular council meeting.

Victoria Street subdivision

Council approved a subdivision application for properties at 751 and 757 Victoria Street subject to city administration receiving a building code analysis about an existing structure at 751 Victoria Street and deeming the report satisfactory. The property owners have applied to rearrange the property boundaries between them. 

The property is zoned R2 medium density residential district, while the proposed subdivision conforms to the zoning bylaw for land use and minimum development standards, a council report said. All services exist on the property and do not need to be altered to accommodate the proposal. 

Several utility easements exist on both properties, but both owners signed utility declaration forms that allow all easements to remain after registering the subdivision. In addition, the relevant utility companies have received the application so they can provide comments. 

Bradley Street subdivision

Council approved a subdivision application for 1050 Bradley Street to create a new neighbourhood commercial property, subject to a servicing agreement being implemented to extend the sanitary sewer line to the new property.

The mayor and city clerk were also authorized to sign the servicing agreement. 

This piece of property is on South Hill and is where developers plan to build a convenience store

The property is zoned C1 neighbourhood commercial district, while it conforms to the zoning bylaw for land use and minimum development standards, a council report said. The application will also be required to extend the sanitary main to the property since there is no access. 

Several utility easements are located within the proposed subdivision and are identified on the proposed subdivision plan. As part of the review process, the relevant utility companies were sent the subdivision application for comment. 

The next regular council meeting is Monday, July 12.
