Mr. Mike Exall, the Municipality's representative on the Lake Simcoe Region
Conservation Authority, addressed the Committee concerning the proposed
restructuring. Concern was expressed related to the membership distribution
which appeared to favour the rural municipalities in the northern portion of
the watershed, and did not provide the southern municipalities who
contribute a large financial component of the cost of operation of the
Authority, with adequate representation.

THAT the representations made this evening be referred to the
Unfinished Business Section of the Agenda.

Landowner's Presentation re: 1 ands west of Bayview, south of We 11 ington
Street
Mr. Terry Kelly, and Mr. Mal Wardman, on behalf of the landowners west of
Bayview Avenue and south of Wellington Street West, presented to the
Committee the comprehensive analysis undertaken of the developable lands
within the quadrant. The document entitled the "Bayview Residential
Neighbourhood -Secondary Plan" assessed the ability to develop the area
totalling 539 acres for predominantly residential uses, open space
institutional, and small areas of office commercial and neighbourhood
commercial. It was indicated the area would support a total population of
4,398 people contained in 1,477 housing units, comprising a mixture of
single family detached, medium density townhouses and apartment units.
Recommendations for the development of 13 acres of Town owned lands in two
areas for approximately 100 apartments, 45 block Townhouses, and 25 single
detached units were made. It was further indicated that the proposed
mixture, on an overall basis, well exceeds the Provincial Policy Statement
on the provision of Affordable Housing.
Concern with the sewage allocation granted the lands was expressed, in that
at this point there was insufficient allocation to service the entire site.
It was requested that this matter be addressed in detail with staff and
Council at the earliest opportunity, and that the matter proceed for formal
public hearings on the necessary amendments to implement the proposals in
the form presented.

Moved by Mayor West Seconded by Councillor Ochalski
