Property owners look to subdivide
The owner of an approximately 1.2-hectare lot at 2150 Millstream Rd., near the foot of Bear Mountain Parkway, was given the go-ahead by Langford council to subdivide the property to allow for an 11-lot subdivision.
At the Dec. 19 meeting of council, the owner was directed to increase the amount of green space in his development proposal. The new plan, the rezoning for which was approved this week, calls for 15 per cent of the property to be reserved for green space, up from 1.9 per cent.
Also, the owner of 3275 Walfred Pl. had an application approved to subdivide the lot between Walfred Place and Happy Valley Road to add a second residence. Council approved the revised site plan, which included removal of an attached storage area and modifications to the facades of both homes.
