The proposal will also seek to address a Municipal Law Enforcement Office occurrence by legalizing and registering the four existing units while ensuring compliance with Building Code and Fire Safety regulations with enhancements to the features of the building and the additional unit provides further opportunities for affordable entry level rental accommodation. The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and appears to be in conformity with the Town of Lindsay Official Plan. Mr. LaHay summarized the comments received to date, as detailed in his report, noting that subsequent to the writing of the report additional comments were received from the Economic Development and Municipal Law Enforcement divisions with no concerns.

He stated that they have supplied the plans to facilitate 5 affordable residential units, and that Kawartha Conservation expressed no concerns at pre-consultation.
