Residents of Gallows Cove Road and Country Path Drive in Witless Bay may find themselves preparing ‘Welcome to The Neighbourhood’ baskets before too long.
Council approved a number of new home construction permits during its April public meeting.
Among them were two construction permits for new family homes on Gallows Cove Road. For one of those proposed dwellings, council also approved a variance application for a 10 percent increase in a building setback. That construction approval is conditional upon the applicant signing a waiver absolving the Town of any responsibility in the event of water runoff if the grade of the development is below Gallows Cove Road.
Council also approved three separate family home construction applications along Country Path Drive, as well as an accessory building at a Northside Track Road residence and another one at Greenhill Drive.
All motions were approved unanimously.
