A number of Rothesay residents are raising concerns about a proposed 55-lot development in their own backyard.
Town council held a virtual public hearing Tuesday evening to hear from residents about the Sagamore Heights subdivision.
The planned development would be located on more than 31 acres of vacant land in Sagamore Point, in the area of Maliseet Drive and River Road.
“This proposed subdivision meets all the current bylaw requirements of Rothesay and it requires no variances,” said Mayor Nancy Grant at the start of the meeting.
“No public hearing is necessary for this. This public meeting was requested by council to hear the residents concerns, but it is not a public hearing.”
