We can change this to 29m 9 floors.

15% low income, 20% below market for 15 years to "buy" the bonus height.

Building design is interesting... same as renderings here. Grey material below the brick is NS polished granite. What I found interesting is how much say, how demanding it appears HRM is, how much input they have... apparently the design changed from a traditional to a modern because of HRM staff input/demands. Really interesting...

Also, what was MOST interesting is how under HRMbD there is no PIM, there is just an open house. It is not the developers job to manage the neighbours, it is HRM staff's job to protect HRMbD and make sure that the project meets the goals expressed there. So there has been little to no communication with the neighbours across the road - because it was already done under HRMbD. There was lots of confusion...

Fares staff said that the 60 days starts in 15 days... this should be approved in 75 days.

This may be the first test of an HRMbD compliant plan that faces significant opposition, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
