The City of Mount Pearl is planning on expanding the depot storage yard at the H. Neil Windsor Building to accommodate both additional snow storage and possible future equipment storage.
Councillor Isabelle Fry put forward a notice of motion during the October 4 meeting that she would at a future meeting move an amendment to the Mount Pearl Development Regulations 2010 to allow the changes.
That amendment would see an area of land located at the rear of the H. Neil Windsor Building at 59 Clyde Avenue be rezoned from Open Space to Industrial Light. The amendment would also see the Future Land Use Map updated to reflect the change.
The building is named in honour of Neil Windsor, who served as MHA for Mount Pearl from 1975 until 1995 and is often credited as being a driving force behind Mount Pearl being granted city status. The building and yard houses the City’s Public Works Department. Members of the RNC also call the building home, and the site was heavily picketed during this past summer’s municipal workers strike.
