Applicant and Location

  • Applicant: Weston Consulting (Ryan Guetter) on behalf of Shanontown Development Inc.
  • Location: 12461 McLaughlin Road, Ward 2

Proposed Changes

The applicant has applied for an Official Plan Amendment to facilitate the amending of text within the Mayfield West Phase 2 Secondary Plan (specifically Section 7.14.4.8.4), as it applies to the subject lands. This policy speaks to obligations of landowners within the Secondary Plan area regarding cost sharing and associated agreements. Section 7.14.4.8.4 of the Official Plan specifically indicates the following:

“Prior to the draft approval, registration of any plan of subdivision or plan of condominium or final approval of any site plan application or the approval of any application under the Planning Act, the Plan Area landowners’ Cost Sharing Group trustee shall provide the Town with confirmation, in writing, that the owner of such lands is in good standing with the Plan Area landowners’ Cost Sharing Group.”

The applicant is requesting that this policy of the Official Plan be struck and replaced with the following wording:

“Prior to the draft approval, registration of any plan of subdivision or plan of condominium or final approval of any site plan application or the approval of any application under the Planning Act, the Plan Area landowners’ shall make satisfactory arrangements in appropriate agreements securing its financial obligations for specific hard infrastructure works completed external to lands, all subject and consistent with the applicable provisions of the Planning Act, R. S. O. 1 990, c. P. 1 3. and that these specific external works and their financial obligations shall be identified in a subdivision agreement to the satisfaction of the Town of Caledon, acting reasonably.”
