There is interest in seeing urban Brighton get a little taller.
At its meeting Monday night, Brighton council asked for a report from staff on the feasibility of allowing apartment/condo buildings to be as high as seven storeys.
Meanwhile, council also wants staff direction on changing its building permit system so that two permits have to be issued before a project is complete, one for footings, foundation and underground works, and the other for above ground work that would only be issued after conditions on the first permit are satisfied.
In other Brighton council news, council entered into a memorandum of agreement with the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board to provide tourism and lifestyle promotions for the municipality.
The agreement is for four years. In the first year, it will cost Brighton taxpayers a little over $18,000.
