I am a resident of the Millcroft community and will be directly impacted by the original proposal for the building of the 90 Homes. I strongly urge the Minister to protect the remaining lands in conjunction with the City of Burlington request. The owners of the property are disingenuous and it is imperative that the government protect our open space. I am terribly disappointed that the original proposal was allowed to proceed without government intervention. The owners of the property cleared the affected 3 holes and faced significant scrutiny and investigations in the manner in which they acted. The original proposal to build 90 homes was presented in February 2020 and at that time the residents were promised to receive compensation, although leaving the open space as it was would be the only just decision. Needless to say i am still waiting for my registered letter with notification of the compensation that would be provided. More importantly, the representations made at the time indicated that the remaining 15 golf holes would be redeveloped into a shorter 18 hole golf course and we would preserve that open space. To hear that the developer is preparing to proceed with further plans to develop this land is terribly upsetting. We must preserve our open space. Although I understand the need for the government to proceed with its plans to build housing, the development of this open space to build multi million dollar homes cannot possibly be viewed as supporting that objective. The Provincial government has failed us with their inaction related to the original proposal and they must act to protect the residents of my community from any further changes to the zoning.
