3 |Thursday August 24, 2017 | OAKVILLE BEAVER |www.insidehalton.com Thunderous applause erupts at meeting following decision continued from p.1 measures for Glen Abbey, which could in clude amendments to the Town's Livable Oakville Plan, zoning bylaw or other tools as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Town. There has been considerable interest in the future of the Glen Abbey Golf Course property at 1333 Dorval Dr. ever since owner ClubLink announced plans to build 3,222 residential units, including nine nine-to-12 storey apartment buildings at the site. Many residents have voiced concerns about the loss of the golf course and the in creased traffic levels should the development be allowed to proceed. ClubLink officials have pointed out 50.11 hectares (54 per cent of the total site) would be made up of publicly-accessible green space. Council's decision resulted in thunderous applause from the hundreds of residents who descended on Town Hall to attend the coun cil meeting. So many packed into council chambers that some had to stand while others had to move to Town Hall's South Atrium to view the meeting via Town TV "I think it's the right move and I think this shows that our efforts to educate the mayor and council and really show them how im portant this golf course is to the golfing com munity and the town of Oakville have really succeeded," said Fraser Damoff, spokesper son for the Save Glen Abbey Coalition. "Glen Abbey Golf Course really is the heart of Oakville and it is nice to see that that senti ment has been reflected in the vote tonight at Town Hall." Special council meeting Sept. 26 Denied Injured? I GAN HELP.

"If this process goes through and the heri tage designation is fully enforced I don't see a way that development can move forward," he said. "There were already significant issues with the development application itself and what they were proposing. I think this heritage designation is the right move and protects the course as it is. Obviously there is a discus sion that needs to be had if ClubLink wants to make certain changes to the course over time. For right now this decision has stopped that development in its tracks." see ClubLink on p.9 YOU DON'T PAY UNLESS I GET YOU MONEY.
