Developer ordered to pay A Bowmanville developer, Mario Veltri bas been ordered wo pay $2 million for a property that was part of annexation talks between Port Hope and Hope Township in the late 1980s. The property, 140 acres. of farm land, is located in north- west of Port Hope. Veltri and Sons maintai ned that the Township council h ad mislead them into believing that the township's official plan would bc amended to allow residential development of the property. Mr. Justice Donald Ferguson rejected the Veltri's arguments and ordered the firm to pay the landowaer, Ethel Lubben, the purchase price agreed upon, $1 million in cash and $1 million taken back as a mortgage. It was also ruled. that the developer would have to pay interest at 10 percent, calculated semi-annually from the date that the sale was to have closed, June 1990. In July of 1989 Port Hope and Hope Township came to tenas la an annexation of 650 acres, from Hope to Port Hope. The agreement also called for a moratorium of development on adjacent lands for 20 years. The moratorium affects the lands owned by Ethel Lubbea.
