DEPUTATION BY RONALD WILLIAMS REGARDING MOTION 14-G-096, REZONING FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL (C4) TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE SECOND DENSITY (RM2) AND DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FOR 196 BURTON AVENUE (WARD 8).
Mr. Ronald Williams provided a deputation in opposition to motion 14-G-096 regarding the Rezoning from General Commercial (C4) to Residential Multiple Second Density (RM2) and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application for 196 Burton Avenue (Ward 8). Mr. Williams commented on his concerns related to the potential loss of green space in the area if the development proceeds. He discussed the tenants' experiences at the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal related to maintenance issues and noted that the eviction notice was issued a few weeks after the latest Tribunal decision. Mr. Williams stated that he believes that the eviction notices are illegal. He thanked the organizers of the charette and requested that Council consider deferring the matter to provide time for the charette report to be used to assist residents in the trailer park. Mr. Williams commented that he understands that the developer has an ability to redevelop the site but questioned the manner in which it was being undertaken.
