The proponents of a 10-unit townhome proposal are offering a public access right of way over the Ring Creek Falls Trail.
The 8,110 m² site is zoned University Housing and is located off University Boulevard, just east of the bridge over the Mashiter Creek.
Public access to the trail will be provided through a 1.8 metre wide sidewalk which will be separated from the drive aisle by a curb.
The trail will likely be closed for a period of time during construction, though a a sidewalk along University Boulevard can be used during construction.
There are no plans to add a stop sign or lights on University Boulevard. The three-bedroom units be proposed are roughly 1700 square feet.
The proponent has also committed to district that any equipment integral for the heating of the building will use a renewable energy source and that no gas fireplaces will be provided in any of the homes.
The application requests one minor variance to reduce the front setback for a shared waste enclosure for the development.
