AgendaWho we areThe ProposalWhy it should not be accepted
![Page 12: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why it should not be acceptedWe are not here tonight to talk about:− how many houses should be built− how tall should the condos be− how tall the fencing and berms should be and where
the trees should be replanted− what the obvious negative traffic impacts will be
![Page 13: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why it should not be acceptedWe are not here tonight to talk about:unavoidable issues with storm water managementlimited sewage allocationsignificant disruption to a stable, planned
neighbourhood strain on existing infrastructure and resourcesincreased TAXES on all Newmarket residents sufficient schooling enrolment
![Page 14: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why it should not be acceptedSo here’s what we are going to talk about:The rationale for this proposal is highly questionable The real objectives of the Places to Grow ActThere is more than enough development to meet
future growth targetsThe Developers approach in our communityGlenway was green before green was a colour
![Page 15: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Highly Questionable RationaleContrary to Official PlanNot located within Secondary Growth Plan areaDoes not adequately incorporate the planned growth
in this areaEliminates valuable green space for current and
future residents’ useUnrealistic assessment of infrastructure ‘stress’
![Page 16: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The objective of the Places to Grow ActWe support the Town’s plan to preserve our green space
& our stable, long-standing community
Objective is NOT to dictate HOW the Towns grow, but to provide guidance & targets
According to the Developer, their proposal “helps fulfill the direction of the Growth Plan. It provides for significant growth within part of the existing built-up area of Newmarket. It will assist in meeting the Provincial targets for intensification”
WE DON’T NEED THIS KIND OF ASSISTANCE!!

More than enough DevelopmentTown to grow from
85,000 to 98,000 by 2026Properties in the North
West and South East account for approximately 7,000 more residents
Properties on Yonge and Davis account for approximately 3,000 more residents
Properties zoned residential that follow OP:McGregor Farm (Davis
and Bathurst)Toth Farm (west of the
Upper Canada Mall) Slessor SquareDavis and George Yonge and Millard

The Developers and their approachProposal is vagueManipulating interaction and consultation with
residentsNo commitment to golf course. Hinges on Phase 1
approvalRelying on positive OMB hearing decision

Glenway was green before green was a colour
![Page 20: Gpa statutory public meeting presentation january 7 2013 - v4.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549a4da5b479594f138b4739/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In SummaryThe rationale for this proposal is deeply flawedGrowth inside of this stable neighborhood is
unnecessary AND not required in order for us to meet the Places to Grow Act requirements
Glenway development is contrary to the Official PlanThe open green space of this community will serve as
a recreational area for the 10,000 new residents planned for this part of town
