I am troubled by the "full steam ahead" attitude of the developer which does not take into account environmental concerns. A storm in August 2014 caused devastating flooding in areas around Millcroft Golf Course, and including some homes in the area of Millcroft (i.e., near Walker's Line and Dundas, on Sarazen Drive there were reports of flooding of basements in 2014). There have been no assurances that potential flooding has been taken into account. By its nature, development of land covers up open space that could absorb excess water from heavy rains and thereby causes a heavier load on the existing infrastructure as it contends with increased waters. By paving over and developing property, the worry is that flooding will be more of an issue with severe weather such as that experienced within at least the past decade. There is less open ground to absorb the water, and an attendant strain on the infrastructure.
