Let's Talk. Peter Watson MBA, CFP, R.F.P., CIM, FCSI Jennifer Watson MBA 2018 NOMINee FOR BeSt FINANCIAl PlANNeR BeSt INveStMeNt COMPANy During the Aug. 7 meet- ing, Flowers argued the Cultural Heritage Land- scape Conservation Plan (CHL) Bylaw, which was passed by council Jan. 30 and then used to put these protective measures in place at Glen Abbey, is not implemented or enforced by the town against any other property in Oak- ville. "The town's failure to do so confirms ClubLink's position that this bylaw is discriminatory and that although the CHL bylaw is disguised as a townwide bylaw, it is in reality a by- law targeted solely at Clu- bLink and the Glen Abbey property," said Flowers. He argued the CHL by- law is intended to apply to all properties within the town's four Heritage Con- servation Districts and noted that under this by- law council requires the preparation of a conserva- tion plan no later than three months after a struc- ture has become a protect- ed heritage property. "The CHL bylaw has been in place for six months. To the best of our knowledge, town council has not required the prep- aration of a conservation plan for any property in the Town of Oakville other than the Glen Abbey prop- erty," said Flowers. "Under the terms of the CHL bylaw, we fail to see how the town can process and approve any applica- tion to alter property with- in a Heritage Conserva- tion District in the absence of a conservation plan for the property. It appears this is exactly how the town is proceeding." Flowers argued the CHL as written does not al- low property owners to even repair a protected heritage property without a conservation plan and questioned what steps the town has taken to ensure owners of property in Oak- ville's Heritage Conserva- tion Districts do not make repairs to their properties absent such a plan. The ClubLink lawyer called on council to defer a heritage permit applica- tion requesting a new two- storey addition for 185 Wil- liam St., which came for- ward during the Aug. 7 meeting, so that the appli- cation can be assessed in light of the CHL bylaw. He also called on coun- cil to direct town staff to review the heritage permit applications considered since Jan. 30, to determine if any approvals were giv- en in contravention of the CHL bylaw. Flowers asked for the results of this assessment to be made public at the next council meeting. Town solicitor, Douglas Carr, said town staff has a different interpretation of the CHL and noted that in- terpretation is among the issues that will be consid- ered when the town de- fends its Glen Abbey con-fends its Glen Abbey con-f servation plan and related bylaws against ClubLink and the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) in Su- perior Court Sept. 13 and 14. Carr recommended council approve the 185 William St., heritage per- mit application. No mention was made of Flowers' request for a review of recent heritage permit applications. NEWS
