"CARRIED" . . . Council Minutes PUBLIC MEETING DELEGATIONS COMMUNICATIONS - 2- September 30, 1996 Pursuant to Section 4 of the Development Charges Act, the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington is holding a Public Meeting to enable the public to understand the Development Charge Amendment proposal. Public Notice was placed in the local newspapers on or before August 28, 1996. This notice procedure is in compliance with the Ontario Regulation 725/89, as amended. The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment to the Development Charge By-law is to: a) add to the list of designated services illustrated on Schedule "B" of the By-law, the development of a neighbourhood park and parkette in Plan of Subdivision 18T-95023, and a parkette in Plan of Subdivision 18T-89037 - located in South Courtice, south of Bloor Street between Townline Road and Prestonvale Road; and b) add a new section in the By-law under "PART II - GENERAL" which would in essence permit the developers to construct, at their cost, the parks within each plan of subdivision. The Municipality, in turn, would credit the costs of the park development against the park development component of the development charges that the Municipality collects. The credit arrangement would avoid the developers from being double- charged under the current development charges by-law. No one spoke in objection to or in support of the application. Karen Cashin, President, Ontario North Shore Branch, was called but was not present.
