Don Kochan – Division 2
Hi everyone, the following Division 2 information is for your use:
Costco at Bingham Crossing – The Costco application has dealt with all appeals therefore final approval for it to proceed has been provided. The applicant will now be required to meet the conditions of approval imposed by the Development Authority before the Development Permit can be issued. There is a major concern in the community that the required upgrades to RR33 would not be completed prior to the opening of Costco. In the DP condition #28 addresses that as follows: Condition #28 of the Development Permit reads. That prior to occupancy of the site, the Construction Completion Certificate shall be issued for all off-site transportation infrastructure for Development Agreement (Off-Site Road Improvements), in accordance with the conditions of the County’s file #PL20210101, to the satisfaction of the County and the Provincial Transportation & Economic Corridors (TEC). So based on this condition and the TIA requiring widening to RR 33, the required upgrades to RR33 has to be completed before they open Costco.
County Pancake breakfast – On July 12th, a huge turnout of approximately 1000 people showed up at RVC’s annual pancake breakfast. There were many interactive activities that the participants were able to be part of. As well, various equipment that the county uses in supplying its services were on hand and provided demonstrations on their use. And of course the food was great!
