Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)

On December 9, 2014, the Town received notification via a letter dated December 5, 2014, from the Applicant's solicitor, Mr. Ira Kagan, appealing both applications directly to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on the basis that the Town had not made a decision within 180 days of the receipt of the applications.

Planning staff has since forwarded the necessary documentation to the OMB in accordance with Planning Act requirements. An OMB Pre-hearing was held on Tuesday April 7, 2015. A second Pre-hearing was held via telephone conference on July 21, 2015.  An eight-day hearing is scheduled to commence on March 28, 2016.

Application status

Due to the appeal of the applications to the OMB, a statutory public meeting is no longer required. However, the Town still held a Public Meeting on June 22, 2015, to present the proposal and to receive public feedback. 

On July 24, 2015 Planning staff received a second technical submission in support of the application and are now being reviewed by Town staff and External agencies.
