subsequently incorporated in its new Comprehensive

of the properties abutting the lands owned by Kraco
Carpentry Services Ltd., located on the north side of
Highway #2, Newcastle Village, urged Council to repeal
the section of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, which
would permit the construction of four (4) link homes
on the subject property and, limit the permitted use
of the lands to single family residential construction
which would allow the construction of a maximum of
three homes on the lands fronting on Highway #2.
He added, that if Council wanted link homes, then they
should be established within a development where everyone
buying property would know what was intended in advance.
Not he suggested, do a spot rezoning and drop such units
in an already established single family residential area.
