8:32If we have a consent, a large one,

8:36I will go through it as quickly as possible

8:40and see if anybody wants to pull anything

8:43or address anything there.

8:45A lot of them are notices of intention to designate.

8:49So we have one Norwich Street West,

8:53three Norwich Street West,

8:55five Norwich Street West,

8:58seven Norwich Street West,

9:00nine Norwich Street West,

9:02240 Woolwich Street,

9:051949 Gordon Street,

9:071989 Surrey Street East,

9:11and 117 Surrey Street East,

9:1518 Paisley Street,

9:1856 Paisley Street,

9:21the endorsement of the Connecting Links program.

9:26And that's it.

9:31So,

9:34Councillor Goller.

9:35Your worship, I wanted to pull item 3.11,

9:3956 Paisley Street, just to ask a question about it.

9:44Okay, why don't you,

9:45I'll turn the floor over to you if it's just a question.

9:48Do it now, and then we can look to move consent after that.

9:50Go for it.

9:51Thank you, through your worship to staff.

9:53Just regarding the letter of objection,

9:56the resident to the homeowner raised a couple of objections.

10:01I just wanted to touch base with staff

10:03and see if they had a chance to go back

10:05with the homeowner and address the three concerns

10:08that were raised.

10:12Thank you for the question and through you,

10:14Mayor to Councillor Goller.

10:17Yep, I have had personally conversations

10:20both with the homeowner and with the homeowner's partner

10:23to address the concerns.

10:25This was previous to the objection being filed,

10:28but we have had discussions about the issues raised.

10:33Okay, okay, and just for clarity,

10:35the designation would not impact our ability

10:38to put an addition to the home

10:39to make the changes that they spoke about in the letter?

10:44It may impact the process because depending on the nature

10:48of the addition of the alteration,

10:52there may be a permit required,

10:55but as with all of our permit processes,

10:57it starts with a conversation with the heritage planners.

11:00So there is an opportunity to sort of guide them down a path.

11:05I appreciate that, knowing that they would still be able

11:07to do those changes.

11:09Thank you, thank you, Your Worship.

11:10All right, thank you, Councillor.

11:11Would you be willing then to move consent?

11:13I didn't hear anybody else wanna pop up.

11:15No, you're willing to move it, Councillor Goller?

11:18Downer is willing to second the consent.

11:20Okay, is there anything further on consent to anybody?

11:23No, okay, I'll call the vote.

11:24Is there anyone against the rest of the consent?

11:27Nobody, okay, so that's unanimous

11:30for all of those items I just went through.

11:33We're now under the public meeting

11:35to hear applications section.

11:37And the first one is actually just a quick presentation

11:40on the extension of transition provisions
