Mr. W. G. Lawson appeared before Council on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. N. Davidson of Lot 57, Plan 350, in the Rosebank area. The Davidsons had been granted a consent by the planning board on this lot in July, 1965, and had completed all of the Township requirements including the $500.00 residential lot development fee. The consent was granted on the premise that by-law 2719 which amended by-law 2511 would be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. The amendment was not accepted by the board and as a result the building inspector was obliged to refuse the issuance of a building permit. Mr. Lawson explained that at the time of the original consent 5 other consents were granted and three of them were built on. He noted that the planning board had given the consents in accordance with their policy of the past 3 years and in view of the issuance of building permits to the other three owners felt that his client should also be given one. Council noted that the DavidsonB proposed to move an 800 sq. ft. home from Scarborough on to the lot.
