Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

I believe this is an application motivated by a desire to be in compliance to the zoning bylaw as there has been business activity, already, at the site which is not permitted. It's difficult to to assess this application with an open mind when the property owner...
Development at 13131 Keele
September 7th council meeting includes a public meeting for an application for a a zoning bylaw amendment to enable construction of five townhouses fronting onto Dennison at the corner of Dennison and Keele. Consistent with comments I have made previously about residential development in King City I believe this application has merit: it provides a different residental format; it's location with...
