This submission is in response to the Environmental Registry of Ontario’s posting number 019-6113 with respect to the County of Simcoe’s Official Plan Amendment No. 7.

This submission focuses on the lands located at 1643 and 1809 Snow Valley Road, 2636 and 2694 and 2842 Wilson Drive, Township of Springwater. The entirety of the land holdings are within the Snow Valley Settlement Area.

The purpose of this submission is to request that the province amend Section 3.2.4 (Table B) of County of Simcoe Official Plan Amendment No. 7 by increasing the Township of Springwater’s population forecast from 32,490 to 38,490.

Attached to this letter as Appendix A is a conceptual development plan which illustrates that the subject properties can support the achievement of a complete community. The plan includes low-density, medium-density, and high-density residential development, while also providing commercial lands, recreational trail connections and parkland. The concept plan has also been designed to accommodate the continued operation of the Vespra Hills Golf Club. The concept plan illustrates the potential for approximately 1,000 dwelling units.

The request to increase the Township of Springwater’s population forecast from 32,490 to 38,490 would accommodate the development of the entire 169-hectare land holding.
