Mount Pearl residents could soon see another spot to get their double-double fix, with a future drive-thru Tim Hortons on Kenmount Road getting a conditional green light from City council.
The secondary building will be adjacent to the gas station and convenience store already under development by Northbrook Construction, on behalf of Tim Horton’s, and located at 629-631 Kenmount Rd.
“That development is moving along quite handily,” said Mayor Dave Aker at the April 28 public meeting.
Council approved the proposed planned development of the secondary building for a drive-through use at that meeting and made a motion to enter into a development agreement with the property owner conditional upon the development meeting all requirements and conditions set forth by the City, Service NL, the St. John’s Regional Fire Department and other government agencies or stakeholders.
“Any approval would also be contingent upon meeting all relevant development standards and departmental conditions,” read the administrative report in the April 28 agenda.
The property shall not be subdivided and will remain as two buildings on one lot. The parcel may not be sold or subdivided without prior written approval from the City.
Public input was solicited in writing up to 12 noon on Monday, April 13, and no submissions were received by the City, and no interest was expressed in attending the briefing session, which was then cancelled.
