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.

Sign Request by Vivo Avanti

The report provides good background as to why we have a sign by law dating from 2018-03 and why we do not want to deviate from this. I am supportive of the denial as approval would undermine the integrity and consistent application of the law sign bylaw. As always...

On June 1 Council agenda there is a report recommending approval to enter into a subdivision agreement with Nobleton 2715 Developments. This is a property located at the southeast corner of Hwy. 27 and the 15th Side Rd. An interesting “engineering” aspect of this development is that the Township has agreed to permit the construction of a subsurface stormwater management facility within the...
I have just done another post with a link.
