Board members requested clarification regarding the amendment to Recommendation BHB049-2021.
Staff advised that a delegation was made on behalf of the owner of the property requesting that the original design of the house be reconsidered. Planning Committee discussed and considered whether the design that was presented to the Board at its meeting on September 21, 2021 would meet the overall intent and character of the Heritage Conservation District Plan.
There was consensus to support the staff original recommendation of September 21, 2021, which allowed exceeding the maximum square footage of the house and for the owner to work with staff to reduce the size of the proposed garage.
Board members commented that based on the staff report presented to them, they provided the best advice to Council and acknowledged that Council makes the final decision, however the Board's decision remains unchanged.
