A local developer wants city council’s approval to expand a subdivision.

If approved, which city administration is recommending, Dawson Heights would see 15 new homes, 20 townhouses and five six-plexes.

The expansion would also need two new streets and a walkway.

Sewer and water already exist in the 2.46 hectares of land needed near Wardrope Avenue.

According to the application no agencies, from the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority to the Ministry of Transportation, have no objections.

But the city has received several phone calls and a letter from people concerned about bringing multiple-unit dwellings to the area. There is also a concern about how widely circulated a public notice was mailed. Council will hear about the project Monday night.

Also Monday council will hear that expected reports on the Royal Edward Arms along with pet by-laws in other cities will be submitted in early 2014.
