CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS
Memorandum from Treasurer re: Development Charges:
Review of Policies
Page2
The Treasurer introduced Mr. Scandian from C.N. Watson and Associates Ltd.
Mr. Scandian noted that Council on January 15, 1992 adopted its first by-law
under the Development Charges Act. This By-law No. 3370-92 was
established with a two-year term. This evening's Public Meeting was for the
purpose of reviewing the By-law's existing policies. On November 15, 1993
a Report respecting a replacement by-law will be presented to Council. A
second Public Meeting will be held on December 15, 1993 to consider the
Report. Then Council may consider the proposed by-law on January 1 2, 1994.
Mr. Scandian reviewed the service components currently provided by the Town.
Each service component was expressed as a standard per 1 000 residents in
relation to some parameter and as a cost per unit of the service provided.
Based on these components, he detailed the actual development charges
established in By-law No. 3370-92. The underlying policy is that a uniform
municipal-wide charge structure is established, rather than separate charges for
diverse service areas. Existing exceptions to the application of the charges
were then highlighted as was the system to credit entities that provide services
in lieu of payment or that entered into obligations pursuant to development
agreements under the Planning Act. The structure and content of existing
reserve funds was reviewed. Mr. Scandian then provided an overview of two
appeals filed against the By-law.
Mayor West invited members of the public to comment.
A representative of 750179 Ontario Ltd., one of the two appellants against the
Town's Development Charges By-law, enquired whether the circumstance of
his development application could benefit from an exemption. The Treasurer
responded by reviewing the elements that would qualify someone for an
exemption.
#611. Moved by Councillor Jones Seconded by Councillor Healy
THAT this review of policies in Development Charges By-law No.
3370-92 be referred to Staff for a Report to Council on November
15, 1993.
