So far, it’s been anything but smooth sailing as Joy Dawdy attempts to obtain clearance from the city to continue offering swimming lessons from her backyard pool.
It’s a service she has provided for more than three decades; however, a neighbour’s complaint about noise and parking issues has Dawdy treading water since last summer.
And a report from Michelle Knieriem, Manager of Planning Services, to city council for this evening’s (May 4) meeting is far from optimistic.
She is recommending that council refuse the site-specific draft Temporary Use Bylaw that would allow backyard swimming lessons to continue.
The public portion of the meeting begins at 5 p.m. in the council chamber at city hall.
