Witless Bay Town Council had a long list of public infrastructure applications before them at the July 14 public council meeting.
Council first dealt with a number of applications that had been deferred from the June 9 meeting, including an application for a lot at 11 Dean’s Road, which council approved, and an application for a home on Jockey’s Lane, which council deferred as they continue to seek information.
Later in the meeting, council approved a Fisheries and Oceans application to remove the old CFIA building and construct a new warehouse, as per pending permits, at 229-235 Southern Shore Highway.
Council deferred an application for a home on 184-188 Dean’s Road until they received more zoning information, but approved applications for homes at 62 and 64 Country Path Drive, pending Service NL approval, as well as an application for a home at 215-17 Gallows Cove, again pending Service NL approval.
Council also approved applications for sheds, fences, a second access to property, a catch basin, and renovations for other properties around town.
The Town also noted that ongoing work on the recreation complex is on schedule.
“Most of the ground work is done, we got a few minor touch ups to do, and the fencing is supposed to start the middle of the upcoming week at the latest,” said councillor Fraser Paul, adding that he had to meet with the plumber the next day.
