There was a meeting with Planning and the proponents and there will be another meeting in July. Planning has developed concerns that some parts of the proposal are not within the law. Breaking it apart is legally possible, but practically it may be impossible
to unravel the interconnections. It’s not clear when the matter would get back to Council.</span></p>
