Agent: Fotenn Consultants Inc.

Purpose and Effect of the Applications
The owner is proposing to extend Bittersweet Drive to Petworth Road, and to develop a 34 lot residential subdivision. The subdivision would also have two park blocks and one stormwater management block.

Frontenac, as they are the approval authority for plans of subdivision.
