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.

New Townhouses on King Road
Tuesday, September 6 is the statatutory public meeting to enable the development of a block at 1986,2000 and 2008 King Road with 26 conventional townhouses in freehold common element condominium units. As said in earlier post we have seen applications earlier for this property under two separate owners who each had different concepts. To my mind this type of dwelling is entirely appropriate...
