A Public Hearing was convened at 7:35 p.m. to receive presentations from persons
regarding By-law No. 605-04, being an amendment to the Town of Niverville Zoning
By-law No. 524-97. Several parties were present to express their views on the
proposal.
Proponents – Messrs. Jeremy and Andrew Braun. As proponents of the amendment
to the zoning by-law, it was noted that in discussions with the residents three
concerns had been raised, namely:
i. potential for congestion of traffic
ii. assurance the building(s) would blend in with the decorum of the neighbourhood
iii. concern about what impact renters may have on neighbourhood in which the
majority of the homes are privately owned.
To address these concerns the proponents are recommending a multi- family building
that would have:
i. one driveway providing access/egress to parking at rear of building(s)
ii. consideration of a building design, whether a bi-level or two storey that
would be compatible with neighbourhood architecture
iii. design units that would be approximately 1000 sq. ft. in size and command
a rent of $650 - $700 per suite per month plus utilities.
Several residents, including Randy Zacharias, Myrle Schmidt, and Craig Stevens,
raised the following concerns:
i. On-street parking at the corner should be controlled (restricted) as it would
tie-up traffic.
ii. There should be no decks on the front of the building.
iii. Clarification on what impact a multiple family building will have on building
assessments in the area.
iv. That a firm plan for the development of the property should be in place
before approval is granted.
The hearing was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
Representatives of the Manitoba Floodway Expansion Authority made a presentation
to council regarding the proposed mega project. Messrs. Doug McNeil and David
Hurford made the presentation. A written document of the presentation and questions
