Eden Oak #1 – “Creditview Heights” Development – now “The Chase”
With the OMB approval of the Eden Oak Creditview Heights development in April 2017, planning and marketing work on this 31 home subdivision is moving forward. Site activity, other than surveying, is not expected until late fall 2017, and only after receiving the necessary authorization from the Town and other agencies for a construction management plan. Residents are encouraged to view the FAQs section on the Town’s Planning website. Marketing for the first of Eden Oak’s three Glen Williams subdivisions has already begun. The development has been renamed “The Chase”, with its own information website and a new Sales Office in a Mountainview Road strip mall south of the Georgetown Animal Clinic.
Eden Oak #2 – “Devins” Development – off to the OMB!
In late June, developer Eden Oak sent a letter to the Town informing them that Eden Oak would be taking Halton Hills to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) concerning their application to develop 32 homes on the former Devins property – the 17 acres bordered on the south by Wildwood Rd., on the west by 8th Line, on the east by Oak Ridge Dr. This is the second of Eden Oak’s three Glen Williams subdivisions. The neighbours directly impacted might wish to assess their level of interest in the formation of a specific develpment-watch working group. Again, the developer’s reason for appeal is the failure of the Town to decide on their application within the statutory timeframe. It would appear that Eden Oak and other developers are submitting rush appeals under the current OMB framework, as the proposed new provincial legislation will increase local participation and decision-making.
Eden Oak #3 – “The Field” Development
Eden Oak is now planning the third of their three Glen Williams subdivisions to include 34 homes on the former Bayfield property – the 30 acres known locally as “The Field”, bordered on the east by Tweedle St., on the south by Bennett Place and Glen Cres, on the west by Confederation St., and on the north by Bishop Court. Local neighbours are currently considering the formation of a specific development-watch working group to get ahead of the curve and to hopefully to work with and through elected representatives and Town staff. Two exploratory meetings to determine neighbourhood interest have been called for Wednesday August 30 and Tues. Sept. 5. If interested, please advise Don Robinson at 905-873-6760.
Trucking fill to Charleston Bishop Court
During July and August, the Town’s Site Alteration Committee allowed Charleston Homes to increase the number of truck loads and hours of work to a maximum of 225 trucks per day (= 450 trucks trips to and fro), operating from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Once the school year commences, the developer’s permit requires that the work day return to 100 trucks per day (= 200 trucks trips to and fro) from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm Monday to Friday, with no hauling on weekends and statutory holidays. Glen Residents should expect a return to reduced truck volumes and work hours after September 1.
