Application - Residential Driveways in Floodplains (42-44 Fourth Pond Road)
Application
An application has been submitted for a text amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations.
Description
The City has received an application for a text amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations that would allow the development of residential driveways in a floodplain under certain conditions, where the grade of the land would not be changed. This requires amendments to Section 11.2.4 which sets out conditions for development within lands adjoining bodies of water and flood hazard areas. The proposed amendment was prompted by an application to develop a Single-detached Dwelling at 42-44 Fourth Pond Road. The proposed house would be located outside the floodplain and buffer, but the driveway would have to cross the floodplain and floodplain buffer.
