What's going on with area developments?

Just a quick update. There are two active development areas in our little neighbourhood: Green Belt Drive and Nob Lane and the Ghod's development on David Dunlap Circle. Everything is quiet right now but there have been small developments.

Ghod's development did take their plans to the OMB on May 20th. The OMB decided to postpone the hearing until the autumn to allow the city to prepare its case. Ghod's has proposed a townhouse development that the city feels is too densely populated and has proposed fewer homes.

As for the second proposed development at Nob Lane and Green Belt Drive, the city has hosted two working group sessions with representatives from the neighbourhood and the developer. After consultation, the developer appears to be modifying his plans to accommodate neighbourhood concerns but to date no official proposal has been presented to the city. Until something is officially introduced, everything is hearsay.

That's it for now. The current municipal elections mean that nothing will be done until city council reconvenes after the election.
