Sainovski says he has no tenant for the building yet, so therefore is unsure what its use will be. This uncertainty surrounding the building's future use, does not sit well with the neighbourhood. Sainov ski's agent told Mayor John Mutton at Monday's meeting that the applicant will build a building when a property tenant appears. He is proposing to build a mercantile establishment establishment that will look like a house, in keeping with the residential residential area. Mayor John Mutton said he would have a hard time changing changing the use of the land from residential to commercial with all the commercial space available in Newcastle right now. He added though, that he might consider it if the proposed proposed building was moved on the lot, closer to the existing buildings on the site.
