This MZO is related to ERO proposal 026-0551 in respect of a separate MZO request from Millcroft Greens Corporation, the landowner of the subject lands.

This is not about property values or protecting a private view. It rests on three factual arguments, each of which stands on its own:
•
The land in question is engineered flood infrastructure. The golf course was designed as part of the community's stormwater system. The Province's own notice describes the lands as containing “wetlands, regulatory flood plains, and erosion hazards.”
•
The developer is skipping the rules. A Minister's Zoning Order (MZO) bypasses the municipality, public
consultation, environmental review, and — critically — all rights of appeal.
•
The developer's approved first phase is already marketed by its own builder as luxury estates “from $2 million,” and the new request adds ~138 more market-rate homes with no affordability requirement — in a city whose housing pipeline already exceeds its provincial target.

Please stand this the City of Burlington and its citizens in approving this MZO to preserve the subject lands as open space.
Thank you for your consideration.
