12 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, January 21, 2010 New Location... New Name... Public invited to speak up at future planning meetings By CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer The public will get an opportunity to have their say at several upcoming public meetings focusing on future planning in this community. On Wednesday, Jan. 27 and Monday, Feb. 8, the intensification of housing in town will be considered. The first meeting will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. with a presentation at 7 p.m. and the second at 7 p.m. Both will be held in the Civic Centre's council chambers. Town planners will unveil the latest draft of the Intensification Strategy that looks at placing higher density housingsuch as apartments-- in certain locations within the town. During the ROPA 38 process, Halton Region set a minimum target of 5,100 housing units through intensification between 2015 and 2031. Areas deemed prime for intensification are Georgetown GO Station area, Civic Centre area, South Acton Maple Leaf lands (the former Beardmore property), downtown Georgetown, downtown Acton and a portion of Guelph St. in Georgetown. Properties where planners want to change the density designations are: 127 Mountainview Rd., from medium to high residential; 24 Ontario St. from low to medium residential; and 82-96 Wallace St. (Acton), from low density to medium density. ··· On February 22, a public meeting will be held to discuss the Secondary Plan of the Georgetown Go Station area. The meeting, to be held during general committee of the Town council, will be held at 7:45 p.m. in the council chambers. The plan sets a guideline for redevelopment of that area including the Memorial Arena site-- a community centre and highdensity residential housing could both be considered. ··· On Thursday, Jan. 28, property owners can comment on the new proposed heritage register, which has more than 100 new additions. This public meeting will also be held in the council chambers, 6:30-8:30 p.m. with a presentation at 7 p.m. ··· On Wednesday, Feb. 10, a public information centre (PIC), followed by a public meeting on Monday, Feb. 22, will be held to discuss the Town's Community Improvement Plan. The PIC will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Esquesing Boardroom in the Civic Centre, while the second meeting will be held during the council meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers. The plan is described as a "toolkit" for political action over the next 10 years, complete with financial incentives programs for improvement on various areas within the town. These include: Georgetown and Acton industrial parks, both downtowns, a portion of Guelph St. in Georgetown, brownfields sites such as the former Beardmore lands and GO Station lands, and agricultural areas. High priority is being given to a Comprehensive Development Plan for Guelph St., Acton BIA boundaries, and an agribusiness program.
