BoardCity of Portage La Prairie Council Council Meeting
The council conducted public hearings for two main agenda items. The first was a variation request to reduce the front yard requirement for a deck at 525 Royal Road North. The second was a conditional use application to convert an existing detached garage into a secondary suite at 124 Lauren Avenue East for an elderly family member. Key discussion points included the legal requirement for property owners to occupy the primary residence when hosting a secondary suite, the occupancy permitting process, fire safety compliance, and property line concerns raised by a neighboring resident.
