We act on behalf of Cold Creek Developments Ltd., the owners of 22.49
hectares (55.57 acres) located on the east side of Mount Hope Road, north of Columbia Way, legally described as part of the west half of Lot 11, Concession 8 within the Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel.

In general, we support the initiatives associated with the amendments that are aimed at removing lands from the edge of the Greenbelt Area that are serviced or adjacent to services that can be used to build housing in the short term to address the housing crisis.

In addition to the lands proposed for removal as outlined in ERO 019-6216 and 019-6217, we would respectfully request that the Province consider the removal of approximately 17.929 hectares (44.30 acres) of our clients lands which are within the Greenbelt Plan Area as a further strategic removal to accommodate future and near term housing to also help address the housing supply crisis in Ontario.

We believe that the removal of our clients lands from the Greenbelt Area satisfies the Provincial Criteria for strategic removals, including:

• Greater than 1:1 offset must be achieved to ensure overall Greenbelt expansion;
• The lands are adjacent to existing settlement areas;
• The lands are adjacent to the edge of the Greenbelt area boundary;
• The lands have the potential ability to be serviced in the near-term with local infrastructure
upgrades to be entirely funded by proponents; and
• The lands proposed for removal have the characteristics that would enable housing to be built in
the near-term.

We have elaborated within our attached letter and supporting attachments as to the appropriateness of the additional requested removals from the Greenbelt Plan.
