There will be a public participation meeting on September 3rd from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the Kentville Fire Hall.

Travis Mills and Cogs Development have applied for a Land Use Bylaw (rezoning) amendment with the intent to construct housing in the area between Mee Road, Hibou Court and Mountain View Street in Kentville.  The land use zone on that property is Medium Density Residential (R3), and they are requesting to rezone to High Density Residential (R4) to permit a development of between 30 and 60 units.  They have not submitted a development application.

A public participation meeting is required by the Town’s Public Participation Policy G62 following the receipt of a planning application.  The purpose of the public participation meeting is to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on, make suggestions to, discuss and receive information with respect to the changes to a planning document. The format will include a presentation of the proposal by staff with an opportunity for the applicant to present.  Council are not required to attend a PPM, and do not have a formal role in these meetings.  Questions and comments from the public will be limited to 5 minutes each.  Following this meeting, staff prepare minutes to report on the comments and suggestions made by residents, and these are presented at the next Council Advisory Committee meeting.  These reports are shared with Council and the developers for further consideration.

Next step: Special Council Advisory Committee meeting, September 6, 4-5pm, Town Hall Council Chambers.
