‘She shed’ and pony given greenlight in CBS

By Mark Squibb

Conception Bay South council approved a number of applications during  last week’s public meeting.

Council approved construction of an accessory building at 1496 Conception Bay Highway and gave the owners the greenlight to keep a pony at the same location.

“Who doesn’t like a pony?” quipped Mayor Darrin Bent

Council also approved construction of a 48.3 m² garage with lot coverage of approximately at 39 Rachel Drive, and construction of a 15.6 m² “she shed” at 46-48 Henrys Place.

Councillor Gerard Tilley joked that he would be looking forward to seeing the she shed once it was constructed. After a brief discussion, council determined that a she shed was decidedly different than a man cave.  For those curious, a she shed is a space, often made to look like a cottage, separate from the main home that serves as a home office or workspace for women.

A last application, a business application to sell vehicles at Petten’s Auto Repair at 157 Foxtrap Access Road, was refused as, in the town’s estimate, the parking lot would not be able to handle the increase of traffic.
