Comprehensive Look at Glendon Drive Shopping Plaza
January 25, 2017 Derek
If you’re already familiar with the information below, you can fill out this second survey now. The reason for this evening’s zoning by-law amendment variance request is that the developer is asking Council to reduce the minimum requirement that 65% of the lot frontage of the property include building façades, from 65% to 32%. We got down to 65% after previously approving a reduction from 75%.

They also want to increase the maximum front yard setback from 1.5m

My contact information can be found on MXC’s website. Some Background

What to Expect in 2017 from Middlesex Centre
January 4, 2017 Derek
Well, in a highly unexpected twist of circumstances (1, 2, 3), I was appointed Ward 4 Councillor in Middlesex Centre on November 30, 2016. You can see the municipality’s press release here. During the months of November and December, I had the opportunity to hear from many residents already on a number of issues. Some I am supportive of, others I’m not. That is the nature of discourse, and perfectly reasonable. I wanted to highlight a few key measures I voted on during my first few meetings, and what to expect from the Municipality of Middlesex Centre (MXC) and me
