First figure is the Block Plan as submitted by the Landowners Group. It's not in compliance with the PPS, Greenbelt Plan, CAA.
The second figure is the Secondary Plan approved by Council in 2019, reaffirmed by the tribunal approval in 2021 (OPA 50) 2/x

Landowners never had any attention of complying w/ the Secondary Plan as approved by Council & reaffirmed by 2021 tribunal decision. Always planned illegal #Greenbelt parks...As is evident by this 2017 figure 3/x

Insane because @townofeg doesn't have an approved W/W servicing solution. Worse, at the behest of Mayor @VirginiaHackson @YorkRegionGovt is set to approve an urban boundary expansion on #farmland for 660Ha more. Wonder if the fire department can service it all? 1/4
#EastGwillimbury is still using open waste water lagoons in #HollandLanding, operating well past their best before day since 1974, discharging to #LakeSimcoe. Great article by @fatimabsyed 2/4 thenarwhal.ca/york-region-wa…
#YorkRegion Council will endorse the 2051 Official Plan tomorrow then submit to @ONmunicipal for approval by @SteveClarkPC. Growth proposed in EG is most expensive, requires 2 upgrades & EAs to the yet to be approved & built Upper York Sewage Solutions 3/4 yorkpublishing.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ash…

Attack on #YorkRegion's #Greenbelt ROPA 7 requests portions #Greenbelt prime agr. to be re-designated to rural in #Markham #Vaughan. Lipstick on a pig. ROPA 2, ROPA 3 brought lands into urban boundary & areas subject to ROPA 7 protected as Regional Greenlands System 1/x ROPA 2 Subject LandsROPA 3 Subject LandsROPA 7 Subject Lands
Vaughan, Markham & York Region staff don't support ROPA 7 b/c it's premature. Areas called 'Greenbelt Fingers' part of ongoing Policy Direction review for #YorkRegion's #OfficialPlan2051. About protection of watersheds, habitat connectivity & corridors, urban agr. 2/x
Applicant is over simplifying the request. Rural recreational uses are not well defined, for eg. a golf course could be allowed. Explained well in #Markham's Staff Report 3/x

One of the things I manually track to see if things are heating/cooling is the percent of sales that sold for over asking (SOA). Here you can see that 416 Freeholds spent the last 9 months higher than they were last year. The 9% spread in December was the highest all year. /2 Image
416 Condos spent the last 5 months hotter than 2018, and Dec was tied with Dec 2016 as highest ever for that month. Similarly, Dec gap of 10% higher than last year was largest gap of the year. /3 Image
