Please be advised that Aird & Berlis LLP are counsel to Vito & Maria Burdi (the “Owners”), the
owners of the lands municipally known as 11065 Pine Valley Drive in the City of Vaughan (the
“Lands”). The Lands are approximately 4.14 hectares (10.23 acres) in size and are located on
the east side of Pine Valley Drive, north of Teston Road.
In December 2022, the Provincial government removed or redesignated fifteen areas of land in
the Province from the edge of the Greenbelt Area via amendments to the Greenbelt Plan, the
Greenbelt Area boundary regulation (O. Reg. 59/05), and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation
Plan (O. Reg. 140/02). As part of the amendments, portions of the Lands were removed from the
Greenbelt Area boundary (the “Removed Lands”) as part of the removal of land located in the
City of Vaughan north and east of Teston Road and Pine Valley Drive.
The purpose of this submission is to provide the Minister with our comments regarding Bill 136.
The Owners have reviewed the changes proposed by Bill 136, along with their ecologist, in the
context of the planning framework. On the basis of that review, the Owners submit that theRemoved Lands should not be placed in the Greenbelt Area. In fact, the review has identified
additional portions of the Lands that should be removed from the Greenbelt Area (the “Additional
Lands”) without impacting the integrity of, and rationale underlying the Greenbelt Plan.
We respectfully recommend that the Minister make changes to Bill 136 to remove the Removed
Lands and the Additional Lands from the Greenbelt Area. Please see the attached letter for the entirety of the submission.
