Hi Michael,
Currently I do not foresee any issues with the addressing. Once I have preliminary
addressing done Jennifer Arends and I will review to ensure the addressing meets all
required policies with addressing and fire.
I will be addressing individual units off the private streets once names are confirmed and
approved.
