Full (and interesting) Agenda: https://grimsby.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/…
Admin & Finance, Planning & Development and Public Works meetings scheduled as per above photo.
All meetings are held at Grimsby Town Hall and public attendance is welcome and encouraged.
Public Meeting – Phelps Legacy – 211, 229 & 265 Central Avenue
Great public turn out for this meeting!
Looping the interior dead-ends
This came up at the Open House as well and Phelps was not receptive to changing the site plan to remove 6-8 units to loop the inside roadways to accommodate fire and regional waste access. Dead-ends meet the minimum required by the Fire Department but only if each residential unit is installed with a sprinkler system. Phelps planner was taken off guard by this condition and thought everything had been addressed.
364, 366, and 368 Park Road North
Applications for the above lands have been received by the Town of Grimsby for the following:
– Zoning Amendment; and
– Draft Plan of Condominium
– Draft Plan of Subdivision
Interesting article in Niagara This Week regarding Grimsby and the “Section 37 Bonus” provisions which are applicable when a developer wants to go beyond original zoning limits.
The current process of closed-door negotiations between developers and the Town is far from transparent. For residents these “payoffs” can’t mitigate the effects of poor planning and the deleterious effects on them and their property.

Grimsby Beach Conservation Management Plan – presentation by Willowbank School students
This initial presentation by the students proposes a “Cultural Heritage Landscape” for the Grimsby Beach district. The Planning Director (Michael Seaman) has had a continuing relationship with the school since 2010.
The study recommended that proactive measures must be taken to protect the key cultural elements of the neighbourhood from demolition and development, citing a recent listing at 33 Victoria Terrace priced at almost $600K. A small survey of local residents raised common issues of lack of parking, disrespectful tourists and littered garbage.
Want to spectate, participate or just see how town affairs are administered, feel free to attend the above meetings.

AquaBlu Draft Plan of Standard Condominium
This was passed with conditions. Note that with the three new developments on Concord – AquaBlu, AquaZul and the 5-storey Commercial Centre, the Town Planner stated that “the entire complex will be one large shared complex” for parking. That’s because parking concessions (and easements/shared services agreements) were approved overlapping parking on each other’s lots… so it will be a free for all when it comes to visitors trying to find a legal parking spot.
When: March 28, 2017 @ 7PM
Where: Town of Grimsby Council Chambers

All meetings are open to the public and participation is encouraged.
Phelps was taken by surprise that the Planning Committee wasn’t happy with the development’s interior street dead-ends that won’t accommodate regional waste pickup.
After six years of discussions, why was it only at a public meeting that the Planning department made such recommendations and effectively sent the developer back to the drawing board?
