ALNWICK/HALDIMAND TOWNSHIP COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 24, 2006
Shelter Valley Aggregates/Omni Commerce Ltd., filed a Consent Application requesting an easement/right-of-way for an exit from the proposed SVA pit to the proposed haul route, Turk Road East.
The Lower Trent Conservation Authority (LTCA) recommends that this Application for a severance of 3.5 acres be deferred because:
a) the proposed severance would be close to a headwater of Cold Creek;
b) the proposed severance raises erosion and water quality concerns;
c) the proposed access route crosses a portion of the Tubbs Corner(s) Significant Natural Area;
d) the application does not detail the proposed land use (design or use of the haul route)
The LTCA wants a detailed topographic survey (contour interval of one metre) showing the severed parcel and proposed changes to existing grades, and a report addressing the potential impacts on the Tubbs Corners Significant Natural Area.
A/H COUNCIL WILL VOTE WHETHER TO APPROVE, DEFER OR DENY THE CONSENT APPLICATION;
CONDITIONAL UPON an amendment to Restricted Area Zoning Bylaw No. 619 coming into force and effect;
CONDITIONAL UPON the payment of a $2 833.00 Residential Development Fee.
What do these 'conditionals' mean?
Do they mean Council can overrule the concerns of the LTCA?
SPEAK UP FOR THE VALLEY.
PLEASE ATTEND COUNCIL ON MAY 24 FROM 7:00PM ON. RESIDENTS AND THE MEDIA WILL BE ALLOWED TO DETAIL THEIR CONCERNS.
AND ONCE AGAIN RESIDENTS CAN ASK COUNCIL TO STAND UP FOR THE VALLEY.
YOUR BOARD NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT AT THIS MEETING!
