11M", The revised plan is a compromise between the original plans and the
plan recently presented to Council and it includes most of the points
raised in the technical report on this project. Two members of the Committee
and Mr. Harrington met with the Town of Burlington Planner while viewing
Wimpey's Burlington development and the Burlington Planner felt that a
twenty foot wide road without a sidewalk was not detrimental to this type
of pmject.
The Committee, therefore, recommends that a twenty foot road without sidewalks
be allowed on Block "M",
The Committee is of the opinion that the revised plan is a more desirable
design considering nll aspects and problems including grading, lot shape,
roof line variations etc., and recommends that the revised plan be considered
by Council.
Committee of Adjustment:
(a) Submission B5/72.
The Committee of Adjustment has received an application for a severance for
the property on the North~East corner of Wellington St, E. and Catherine
Crescent, part lot 6, Plan 107, and extends through to Centre Street.
There is presently a double duplex on the south half of the lot and the
owner is applying to the Committee of Adjustment for a seYerance of the north
half of his property. The present double duplex is a minor variance to
