SASKATOON --
A charity organization for families receiving medical treatment in Saskatoon has won its appeal for a small expansion to its facility on the corner of University Drive and Clarence Avenue.
Ronald McDonald House Saskatchewan (RMHS) initially approached the City of Saskatoon seeking a development permit to repurpose an outdoor deck area and to use the space to expand its dining area.
The centre houses out-of-town pediatric patients receiving medical treatment, as well as their families.
According to city documents, the development permit was denied because the addition would not leave the minimum-required front yard space of six metres to the adjacent roadway. According to a city assessment, the addition would only leave 4.4 metres of distance.
