Subdivision in Glen now a step closer CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer After a summer of negotiations between Sheridan Nurseries and the villagers of Glen Williams, an agreement on a new 91-home subdivision has been ironed out and officially approved by the Ontario Municipal Board this week. Council approved the deal at its Sept. 5 council meeting. That was followed by hearings at an OMB hearing later in the week and concluded this week. The 88-acre property is located on the south side of Prince St., west of the Tenth Line and east of the Credit River. Planned is a 91-lot subdivision to be serviced with municipal water and sanitary sewers. Sheridan will upfront the $2-3 million cost to build the Regional Sanitary Sewer Pump Station and sewer system, possibly located in a part of Glen Williams Park. The neighbourhood would be connected to the village through a walking trail to the park. The average density is two lots per acre and the minimum lot size is a quarter-acre. Lots are varied in keeping with the historic patterns of planning of the Glen. Standard curbs, gutters and sidewalks have been eliminated in favour of a more environmentally-friendly narrower road, with pathway surfaces and ditches on either side for low impact storm drainage. In a presentation to council, Sheridan Nurseries president Bill Stensson said the company has been a part of Glen Williams for the past 50 years and hopes to be there for the next 50.
