Geographic Analysis
The Report Identifies benefits and challenges
Considers whether it could be an acceptable form of development in Conception Bay South;
Identifies approaches that could be applied to manage it.
Back Lot Development Study
BenefitsFor Property Owners For Town
Flexibility for development of odd shaped lots
Reduced development costs (no new streets)
Increased privacy (reduced street frontage for backlot owner)
Potential to access scenic views
Less street construction means less maintenance
Increased use of existing infrastructure (roads, water and sewer)

Back Lot Development StudyChallenges
Reduced privacy
Access by emergency vehicles
Storm water runoff
Civic numbering/visibility
Safe driveway access
Disrupts the development pattern
Utility servicing/easements
Impact on neighbouring properties
Conflicts between neighbours

Back Lot Development StudyOpportunities for Back Lot Development
Significant opportunity
Low density, older streets
Areas between streets
Along the coastline
Isolated parcels that could acquire access
Areas that have been recently services with water and sewer
