Steinbach City Council likes the idea, but not the plan that was presented. Developer Harvey Barkman wants to build a multi family housing unit on the former Barkman Auto Site along Highway #12, south of Mckenzie. But it would require a 6 inch rear yard. City council rejected the proposal saying it wants to see something that falls into line with a bylaw that requires a 20 foot rear yard. Land Use and Permits Chair Chris Goertzen says green space is important because children and families need a place to play. Barkman is expected to come back with a scaled down plan.
