The following three letters were received June 7, 2004 from surrounding property owners, all in favor of this Application:

• Terrence Fletcher – 3 Baycrest Drive
• Barry McIntyre – 10 Baysong Bluff
• Daniel & Susan Thompson – 1 Baycrest Drive

• Their property is located on a corner lot, making placement of the tree house difficult as they have two front yard setbacks to contend with; 
• the reason for placing the tree house as presented, is due to the location of the trees on the property;
• the location chosen for the tree house will be out of the way of the yard;
• this area of the yard does not have seed or sod, therefore no damage will be done to this section of the yard;
• the structure is built on blocks, therefore will not be permanent;
• they have contacted their surrounding neighbours, who were all in favor of this proposal;
• they contacted the Town’s Development Officer prior to construction, therefore felt they were in compliance with the by-law;
• however, they stopped construction as soon as they were advised that they were not in compliance with the by-law.

    “…moved by Mel Steffens that the Planning Advisory Committee approve the following variance to the Town’s Zoning By-law, Town of Grand Bay-Westfield By-law No. 101, for the construction of an accessory building (children’s play structure), to be located at 5 Baysong Bluff, PID No. 30045775:
