OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, May 8, 2009 · 18 Seniors housing scuttled OMB rules against 125-unit proposal An Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) settlement has put an end to plans to build a three storey, 125 unit, seniors housing facility at 15101526 Lakeshore Rd. Town council approved the settlement earlier this week, which will permit the developer (Hush Homes Limited) to instead build 14 single detached homes. Three of these lots will face onto Belvedere Drive while an internal road will service the remaining 11 lots. "The settlement reflects council's commitment to protect existing neighbourhoods from inappropriate, high-density land uses," said Mayor Rob Burton. "We're very pleased that "The settlement reflects council's commitment to protect existing neighbourhoods from inappropriate, high-density land uses." Mayor Rob Burton we have been able to achieve a settlement that recognizes the objectives of the community and maintains the unique character of Belvedere Drive." Besides ensuring that any development on the subject property will conform to surrounding housing, the settlement was also seen as positive because it preserves the trees along Belvedere Drive. As part of the settlement, Hush Homes Limited will purchase surplus lands along the Lakeshore Road road allowance to incorporate into the future development. Ward 2 Councillors Cathy Duddeck and Fred Oliver said the Town has reached the best solution given the circumstances. "The residents in the area were invaluable in supporting the Town's position that this property was not suitable for a highdensity seniors housing facility," said Duddeck. "It is so important that we fight to maintain the character of our older stable neighbourhoods." "Four Fabulous FREE Days of Music & Family Fun!" FEATURING...
