Looks like my guess was correct - the report going to council is to initiate a development agreement, it's not a public hearing.
Developer poised to take tower project to Halifax council
$350m project has two 48-storey structures
After more than a year in the planning stages, the proposed $350-million Skye Halifax project appears ready to go before regional council.
United Gulf Developments Ltd. posted a Twitter message on Thursday stating that its proposal will be discussed at the next council meeting on Tuesday.
“
What’s going to happen on Tuesday night is the initiation of the discussion, to initiate the process leading to a public information meeting, and to get the ball rolling on the required amendments that we need to have done in order to accommodate the development,” said Patrick LeRoy, the company’s vice-president of operations.
“I would have preferred that it would happen earlier, but I know that staff is extremely busy and there’s a lot of activity in (the municipality) in terms of development.”
The council agenda will be made public today, city spokeswoman Shaune MacKinlay said.
The proposed 48-storey towers at the corner of Hollis and Sackville streets, bent to look like twin sails catching the wind, will be connected via a 13,000-square-foot lobby that will have high ceilings and two large, glass-like balls seemingly suspended in the air.
An application was submitted to Halifax Regional Municipality’s planning department on July 20.
In the lead up to Tuesday’s potential council discussion, the company has set up a website with details and a page where people can indicate their support. At least 450 people have so far left their name.
