Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
While we are busy compiling the minutes of the very intense (and long) Planning and Development meeting from Tuesday night, we thought we would share a Niagara This Week article on how things went down (and not so well for the developer).
You can read Richard Hutton’s full article here: https://www.niagarathisweek.com/news-story/8342559-grimsby-condo-development-proves-unpopular/
Just a friendly reminder that there are two public Open Houses happening on Tuesday March 20th :
Just when you thought the buildings in Grimsby couldn’t get any higher, 4 Windward Drive is being proposed at 22 and 19 storeys.
Height and Density Bonusing Open House
These policies will impact ANY new development OR redevelopment in Grimsby. Height and density bonusing can be permitted ANYWHERE – even in your existing neighbourhood.
Do you think developers should be able to get more height and density above what is written in the Official Plan in exchange for giving the Town a cash payment or “community benefits” such as a sculpture?
We heard the people loud and clear. The question is… did Grimsby Town Council?
The citizens of Grimsby are NOT happy with the proposed Century Condos development downtown. NewsNow reports on the developer-led March 1st Open House here: http://wn3.ca/2018/03/09/raucous-crowd-greets-desantis-proposal/
Do you want to do something about it?
Do you want to send your message of disapproval loud and clear to Council?
February 13 – Planning & Development Committee Meeting – Notes
GO Train Station Secondary Plan
Another great turnout by local residents resulted in a full Council Chamber for the GO Train Station Secondary Plan final report.
This weeks Planning & Development Committee will be another very important meeting as the agenda will feature the revised GO Train Station Secondary Plan. If you showed up for the first meeting in December, we encourage you to attend… if you didn’t make the first meeting in December, we definitely encourage you to attend!
The new year starts off with two committee meetings this week, Admin & Finance and Planning & Development. The content may not be meaty, but there are always a few good tidbits hiding in these meetings.
This past week Town Hall had quite a full schedule with several end-of-year meetings. If you were too busy buying gifts or are already celebrating the holiday season, we have the meetings notes for you.
We apologize for a long-ish post, but we have done our best to trim things down without disposing of the interesting information.
Admin & Finance Agenda – 3:30 pm, December 11
On Monday, the Admin & Finance Committee will discuss the 2016 audited financial statements and a number of reports.
The agenda is viewable at: https://grimsby.civicweb.net/filepro/documents?expanded=542,761,79389&preview=89326
It will be interesting to hear if anyone brings up the missing $9 million (after taxes etc., maybe closer to $6 million left) from the sale of the Town’s shares in Niagara Region Broadband (read our previous post here).
