The Dauphin City Council held a regular council meeting this evening. Some highlights from the meeting include:
There was a public hearing for a variance report to allow the construction of two single-story 2,158 sq. ft. triplex dwellings consisting of two single-bedroom dwelling units and one two-bedroom unit at 218 Buchanon Avenue West.
John Yury and Jerry Wheeler were at the meeting in person to answer questions about the application, as well as other variances that had been previously approved.
During her report, City Manager Sharla Griffiths talked about the upcoming city plan and the events that took place last week.
Through a request for proposals, the review of the Development Plan project was awarded to Urban Systems, a consulting firm with offices in western Canada including Winnipeg. Part of the review process was a 'Development Plan in a Week' blitz in the community, which took place last week. During that time, the consultant set up a 'studio' in the Committee Room at City Hall and used that as their home base office to conduct their consultations with Council, Staff, stakeholders, and the public.
When the online survey closed today, there were 150 responses, which according to Urban Systems, is an outstanding number for a community this size.
The next Dauphin City Council meeting is scheduled for June 27th. You can watch today's Regular Council Meeting on the City of Dauphin YouTube page here.
