The committee does not have the authority to However, Shortt said, when the proposal came before the site plan review committee, which reviews commercial and industrial permit applications to ensure they conform to city building regulations, the committee rec- ommended that a to-foot wide landscaped area be provided along the frontage of the property adjacent to Bridgeport. These issues all came under discussion at Monday night's council meeting as aldermen were asked to reconsider a site plan review committee recommendation requiring the owner of the Firestone Tire building on Bridgeport Road to landscape his parking lot ps part of proposed property renovations. , David Shortt, representing the building owner, told council his client had applied to the city for a building permit in order to undertake renovations of his property which involve construction of an interior wall and three new doorways. The objective. he said, is to divide the building to create two stores where one now exists. When is a building renovation considered development; what is the legal definition of development; when should Waterloo's site plan review committee have the authority to impose requirements on proposed renova- tions.

Council finally decided that Shortt should have his client prepare a landscaping proposal which he feels is acceptable and return to council in two weeks to discuss the matter. 12.95 14595 15.95 17.95 “I am concerned that we would be setting a precedent" by deleting the requirement, “which should be a basic part of every development." she continued. "We are all concerned about costs," she argued, "... but we are not all doing away with landscaping. Aldermen Mary Jane Mew/mime; Vspearâ€" headed the move to reject the appeal for the delegon of thtlartdscape requirement. This. Lemon argued, has the effect of “substantially increasing the usability of the building," and therefore the application falls under the Jurisdiction of the committee.
