After coming across unfavourable soil conditions on his Charlotte Street site, local developer Warren Weeks is planning to reduce the number of seniors' townhouses originally proposed for the four-acre property.
Although site work is already well under way on the project, Weeks (of T&W Holdings Ltd.) is requesting an amendment to his current development agreement that will see three multi-unit buildings constructed on the site at 66-74 Charlotte Street instead of four, which will reduce the number of units from 40 to 32.
"He found a sinkhole in the centre of the property where they were going to build . . . so they're re-orienting the buildings," said Coun. Virgil Hammock, who introduced a resolution during July's council meeting to hold a public hearing for the requested changes.
Rather than the four 10-unit buildings he had originally planned to build side by side on the site, Weeks is instead proposing to build three buildings (one 10-unit and two 11-units, all one-storey buildings featuring garden suites) that will be situated in a u-shape on the property.
The public hearing for the amendments to Weeks' development is set for Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. in council chambers.
