Photos by Sabrina Byrnes Development plan alarms residents CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer Sheridan Nurseries' proposal to build 91 hamlet estate homes in Glen Williams prompted the turnout of close to 30 residents to a public meeting Monday night. The residents, alarmed by the increase in the number of homes (from an original 60), resulting traffic, the potential impact on the village character and the failure to meet the urban design guidelines outlined in the hamlet's new secondary plan, wanted assurances that this won't be another "cookie cutter" subdivision. "The Sheridan plan comes as a surprise," said Drew Leverette, outgoing chair of the Glen Williams Community Association, stating his group only saw the plan three days earlier. He outlined the group's numerous concerns, especially that it does not reference the urban design guidelines residents fought for to maintain the hamlet's character. "We believe that the Town needs to engage with Sheridan and the citizens of the Glen to revisit this proposal, with the aim of presenting a plan that more accurately honours the intent of the Glen Williams Secondary Plan," said Leverette, Describing it as a "monumental breakdown in communication", Sheridan Nurseries planner Victor Lind welcomed a meeting with Glen residents to iron out concerns before final council approval. "We've (Sheridan) always embraced working with the community," said Lind. "I really believe this plan closely follows the urban design guidelines and I'm sorry some of the residents haven't been involved in that discussion." See RESIDENTS, pg. 5
