STELLARTON - A developer interested in the former Heather Hotel property in Stellarton has agreed pay for any changes made in the town's roundabout plans to accommodate its development.
In order to get access to the former Heather site an extra lane is proposed along part of north Foord Street and the developer said they would foot the bill to have the extra lane incorporated into the roundabout construction.
"It makes absolute sense that the roundabout - and third lane required by developer - that they are constructed at the same time," Stellarton town engineer Tony Addis told council at its committee of the whole meeting.
Addis said the developer would deposit a cheque for estimated extra costs prior to the tender and the original costs would be subtracted from the tender costs thus coming up with the price the developer would be responsible for.
Stellarton solicitor Hector MacIsaac said the proposal to include the new lane as part of the roundabout construction was discussed in Halifax with engineers of the Department of Transportation.
"It was the simplest and best solution," MacIsaac said.
