DEVELOPMENT CHARGE COMPLAINT HEARING
In accordance with Section 20(4) of the Development Charges Act, a hearing was

Phil King, representing Canadian Mosport Ventures Limited, was present to submit
concerns regarding the Development Charges By-law 2010-058. He provided Council
with background on the recent changes taking place at Canadian Tire Mosport.
Mr. King stated that his clients believe there is a deficiency in the by-law which
requires development charges to be applied, without consideration of the type and use
of the building. He noted that his clients recently paid $380,000 in development
charges, without complaint, for redevelopment of the main buildings. However, Mr.
King stated that his clients do not believe that the current development charges levied
for the accessory shed is warranted. He explained that the total construction cost of
$250,000 and the total combined development charge is $148,000 which constitutes
57% of the construction cost. Mr. King asked Council to instruct Staff to refund the
development charge on the shed. He added that there is a pump building planned,
which he stated is clearly an accessory (and would not have been subject to
development charges if it had been housed in one of the other buildings). Mr. King
asked Council to instruct Staff to waive the development charge for the pump building
to avoid him returning to Council with another complaint under Section 20(4) of the
Development Charges Act.
