I do NOT support the request…

I do NOT support the request from Millcroft Greens Corporation to make a Minister’s Zoning Order for lands at 2155 Country Club Drive, in the City of Burlington.

It should be understood that I DO support the City’s primary position that its 2026 MZO application should be approved and the Millcroft Greens Corporation MZO application be refused

This situation is unfathomable. There have been documented flood studies since 1977 demonstrating the floodplains and flooding risk to the community of Millcroft, south Burlington and Oakville. How can one developer disregard the 10's of thousands of residents who will be affected. How can the Ontario government even consider such a MZO? The City said no, the Region said no, the PC MPP said no. The Premier asked us to make the landowner whole. We tried, several times. A very generous offer was made to the developer. I personally offered to help develop a win/win scenario in 2020 with Gord Buck, founder, Millcroft Greens, and was responded to by yelling "no" to me. This company is not reasonable.

Our home has flooded numerous times in the past 12 years. What will happen with the golf course being developed? The majority of residents cannot obtain overland storm water insurance now. They certainly will not be able to in the future with building on floodplains. The developer will build and the poor new buyers will be held accountable for the lack of the planning process when the neighboring community floods. The Ontario Gov't has stated they will not allow building on floodplains. Hold the Ontario Gov't to their word by not approving the MZO.

What has happened to democracy? Millcroft Greens testified at the OLT hearing for Phase 1 that there would not be a phase 2? So why now? and why bypass the normal planning process? Millcroft Greens also testified at OLT that they would continue to maintain a 18 hole golf course with the development of Phase 1. Not the case as this is the last year of the course operating. How can a party testify and then go against their testimony? Approving their MZO condones their poor behavior and lack of integrity.

My family deserves the planning process be followed. We purchased our home 30 years ago on the basis of the golf course being here. Now that is destroyed. Now flooding will be increased,

Say NO to this bad actor and force the planning process to be followed. DO NOT approve their MZO.
