4/30 Council—important for Ward 5

Apr 27, 2012 | Debbie in the Community | 2 comments

There are several agenda items for the 4/30 Council and Committee of Whole (COW) meeting of particular importance to my Ward.  If you plan to attend note that both meetings will be at King City Community Centre and Arena, 25 Doctors Lane, King City.

There is a public meeting for the application for the draft plan of subdivision and zoning bylaw amendment for the Mary Lake Estates/Culotta development.  This public meeting is not a statutory one but rather has been organized given the high level of public interest, the continuing evolution of the plan and the upcoming 6/18 OMB pre-hearing. You can access the report here.

At this point my point of view has not changed since my 2/29 posting.  Specifically, I struggle to see how the conditions of the zoning designation are being met.  That the development “ along the Keele Street frontage and the Keele Street/15th Sideroad node is generally compatible with the existing character of residential development north of the East Humber river;” and “at the southerly boundary, [the development] provides a transition to the abutting estate residential development.

In the COW there is a recommendation for a Master Consent and Development Agreement covering obligations of the Developer for works associated with the development of the 6 lots fronting Kettleby Road. At time of writing this I have only skimmed the report to recognize that this is very important as it addresses specific concerns raised by current residents as to the impact of this development on them:  specifically road conditions and risk to wells.  You can read the staff report here.

    Hello Debbie,

    Thanks to you and the Mayor, the rest of Council and staff for holding the Public Meeting on Monday night. You didn’t need to do it but it shows your concern for residents and we absolutely appreciate the opportunity to once again highlight our concerns about the Mary Lake construction proposal.

      Hi John, You are welcome. Given the amount of time which as passed since this development began and the modifications to the proposed plan I think the meeting was very important. Yes, not required by the Planning Act but entirely appropriate. Debbie
