requirements was held. The impact on the corner lot appeared to
be the primary issue for resolution, with Mr. Russom responding
to the Committee with specific comments on mechanical equipment
that might have to be moved or left to location in a turn lane of
Markham.
Public Works staff clarified the several design and construction
requirements they presented to the Committee.
