flag North Port Elgin approves 108-townhouse plan with 36.9% green space, replacing high-rises amid transparency concerns.

flag A revised development plan for north Port Elgin proposes 108 stacked condominium townhouses on Devonshire Road and Waterloo Street, replacing a prior design for three high-rise apartment buildings. flag The new project, consisting of ten smaller buildings with eight to 12 units each, will be managed by a private condominium corporation responsible for internal services like snow removal and garbage collection, while exceeding the town’s 30% open space requirement with 36.9% green space. flag Council members praised the design’s cost efficiency, reduced visual impact, and housing diversity, though concerns were raised about transparency, particularly regarding dual payments for services through property taxes and condo fees. flag A staff report on disclosure practices is expected by April.
