Special Council Meeting
Le Conseil entend un débat sur le reclassement des terrains de Huron Shores et Yeates Court
Le Conseil tient une réunion publique pour entendre des délégations sur le projet final du règlement de zonage de la ville. Un différend clé concerne trois terrains sur Huron Shores Court et Yeates Court que la ville propose de reclasser de Résidentiel Suburbain à Environnement Naturel, bloquant ainsi tout développement résidentiel. Les propriétaires soutiennent que ce changement ignore des décennies d'approbations antérieures, des investissements municipaux dans les services, et plus de 400 000 $ de dépenses privées. Ils demandent plutôt une zone Résidentiel Suburbain avec restriction (Suburban Residential Holding), permettant le développement sous réserve d'études environnementales.
- Proposition de reclassement de trois terrains au 2199 Old Lakeshore Road de SR1 à Natural Environment
- Le propriétaire affirme que plus de 400 000 $ ont déjà été investis dans des études, des services et des approbations
- Les intervenants inscrits comprennent des agents des propriétaires, des résidents et la fédération de l'agriculture
- La ville a installé des services d'égout pluvial et d'eau sur les terrains aussi récemment qu'en 2021
- Soumissions écrites de Katelyn Crowley au nom de UBE Developments
