DELEGATIONS
4.
Mike Senkiw. Brock: Street, Claremont, stated that he has sent letters to the
Planning staff about the draft Development Plan but has received no response.

developers who are pushing for higher densities.
5.
Steven Kenthol, 1882 Appleview Road, stated that the Dunbarton community has
dealt with many issues and have been able to reso!ve them. The last issue to be

single detached housing.

and ftontages of !~ss than forty feet would not be in character with the existing
