Planning and Development Services

Please note that the practice of mailing Notices of Public Meetings to residents for Minor Variance and Consent applications has been discontinued. Notice Requirements as specified under the Planning Act will be satisfied by posting Notice of Public Meeting information to the Town’s website. As a courtesy to residents living in areas where minor variance and consent applications have been made Notice of Public Meeting signs will continue to be posted on the specific properties involved. You can access all Public Meeting Notices here.
