Weston Consulting has been retained by the owners of the property municipally addressed as 13962 Warden Avenue in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville (herein referred to as the “subject lands”). We have been monitoring the proposed changes to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (Ontario Regulation 140/02) that would redesignate lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area. We understand that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) is seeking feedback on the proposed removal and redesignation of 15 select areas from the Greenbelt Area (ERO 019-6216, ERO 019-6217 ERO 019-6218). We are in agreement with this proposal and the ultimate objective of removing the regulatory burden from lands that could be suitable for residential development in the near term. In addition to the lands the province is currently considering, this letter provides comments as it relates to the subject properties and why they warrant consideration from the MMAH for residential development in the near future.
