The Treasurer introduced Mr. Scandian of C.N. Watson and Associates Limited
who reviewed the components of the Town's existing Development Charges By-
law 3516-94.F. The focus of the proposed new Development Charges By-law
is a site specific area outside of the Town's urban servicing boundary in relation
to the development application by Magna International Inc. and Alpenhouse
Limited. It is proposed that approximately 123.9 hectres of land be used for
corporate headquarters, an arts and education centre, a medical clinic, a
hospital and a golf clubhouse and golf course. He indicated that the Public
Works Department, in conjunction with the developer's consultants, have
identified the costs to service the lands with sanitary sewer and water works.
Based on these figures the charge would consist of $3.79 per square foot of
non-residential building space.
Mr. Scandian reviewed the range of applicable exceptions and exemptions to
the charge for certain entities. He noted that first and second reading of the
proposed By-law was scheduled for consideration on May 26, 1994, with third
