The lands both to the north and south on Varcoe Road have existing single family dwellings with relatively deep lots . The development of the proposed lot would not have an impact on the proponents ability to sever the rear portion of the lot for future development at a latter date. The application to create one ( 1) additional residential lot would appear consistent with existing uses fronting on Varcoe Road. . . .5 5 41 REPORT NO. : PD- 97 -90 PAGE 5 10 CONCLUSION 10 . 1 The purpose of this report is to facilitate the Public Meeting as required by the Planning Act, to provide Committee and Council with some background and status of the application submitted and for Staff to indicate areas of concern regarding the subject application.
