The City has received a Development Variance Permit application from Woywitka Building Supplies Ltd. for the purpose of constructing a Two-Unit Dwelling at 1050 Trunk Road, which is located within the Cowichan River floodplain.

1. To vary the maximum height of the principal building, with a roof pitch less than 6:12, from 7.5 m to 8.3 m.
