Deadline extended for LeMonaco condo By CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer Halton Hills council has extended the deadline for a developer to obtain site plan approval for a 56-unit condominimum, known as the LeMonaco, on Hall Rd. Despite years of delay-- starting in 1995-- due to various reasons such as Ontario Municipal Board hearings and market conditions, this time the delay was not through any fault of the developer. Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) is refusing to issue a permit to allow the building of foundations and the remaining stormwater works, due to the failure in design of an armour stone lining, completed by another developer, downstream. The Town had assumed maintenance responsibility for this lining, and are now in discussions over it with the CVC staff. "I can't believe we're in this situation," LeMonaco solictor Allan Heisey told council in a delegation last week. He requested the Town urge the CVC to issue the permit so LeMonaco could complete its required stream work during the "fish window" (June 15-Sept. 15). Ward 4 Councillor Bob Inglis, who said he and residents in the area have expressed frustration with the project's delays, said it is only fair in this case to give the extension. If LeMonaco secures its site approval by Oct. 31, 2011 it would have one year to get a building permit.

The curriculum is now available in both English and French languages. Halton Hills now has all 20 elementary schools actively participating with the Risk Watch curriculum. "These 20 schools have a combined student population in excess of 8,300 who, at some time through their elementary years will be exposed to the values of Risk Watch," said Mayor Rick Bonnette. Halton Hills is one of only 43 communities in Ontario that is Risk Watch active. Risk Watch is a comprehensive resource designed to provide children in Pre-kindergarten through Grade Eight with the knowledge and critical thinking skills to make smart choices in their lives in order to prevent unintentional injury to themselves or others. 2011 CIVIC DXG BONUS MARCH MADNESS Auto A t Transmission Georgetown Honda's $ GA 0 5 7 D* R A C S FA1F4 Do 0 $ wn 48 MONTH LEASE *O.A.C. 0.9% lease up to 48 months and finance up to 60 months on 2011 Civic and 2011 CRV models models.
