That plan, strongly opposed by area residents, did not advance, but the company returned in 2006 with another rezoning application to allow for the construction of a condo development on a section of the land.Article content The plan was passed by Cochrane town council in January 2007, with the condition that removal of the covenant would require the approval of council “and all of the benefiting lots within Riverview.”
