DELEGATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS
Robert McNamara regarding 210 King Avenue West, Newcastle
x R. McNamara outlined the proposed alterations to his designated heritage home at
210 King Ave W, Newcastle (the Hollows);
x The proposal is to remove an existing room at the rear of the home built in the
1970's and to replace it with two storey addition to function as a bedroom and great
room, hoping to have the front of the home function as a bed and breakfast;
x The addition would not be visible from the street and would have an architectural
siding with a full grain appearance like wood siding but not the maintenance;
x Detailed drawings have not been undertaken, wanted to consult with Heritage
Committee first; and
x In principle Committee was in favour of the proposal but will need to see

study during the secondary plan review were circulated and discussed; and
