Johnston Point Overview & History The JP Development was introduced to SF Township Council on the Sept 2/14, Council Meeting (usually developments are introduced at COW meetings, however 1/2 the Council & COW meetings were cancelled throughout the 2014 summer, and the COW meetings were cancelled for the Fall 2014 due to the election. Lindsay Mills reported on the development; to be received for information purposes for Council. The Public Meeting was then set for Oct 7/14. The meeting was very well attended, with standing room only. The intent of a Public Meeting is to gain their input. It was never requested by the developer or suggested by staff that a decision would be rendered at the Public Meeting. - We were not requesting a decision. To our knowledge, Council never renders any decision at Public Meetings regarding subdivisions and condos – they are simply held to hear what the Public has to say. Staff did not prepare any by-laws or opinions at this meeting. - The resulting exchange amongst the Council members was to suggest this development be handled by the incoming Council. This has led to the next Council requiring another Public Meeting. - To require us to have another Public Meeting – is unprecedented in this Township – particularly where comments received have not altered the development proposal. The development has not been altered since its submission. All comments received support the advancement of the application to Draft Approval. - Since Sept. 2 & Oct. 7, 2014 , any interested person has had full access to all Studies and Materials from the Township Planning Department, the County Planning Department or directly through the developer. - In addition the Loughborough Lake Association representative – Sherry Corneil stated at the Oct. 7/14 Public Meeting - she would provide any interested individual or group all the information on the development, which is maintained and available on the County of Frontenac’s webs ite. - This County - direct web site to the JP development - for all reports and correspondence is: http://goo.gl/mrkJM3 . - The County has stated there have been at least 160 hits on this web site – with 75% of those hits coming during the Sept. & Oct., 2014 at the Public Meeting time. - Reply responses have been provided to all letters and posted on this web site – immediately before and immediately following the Oct. 7/14 Public Meeting. - Additionally, Council is fully aware – The Planning Act provides a mechanism that those who wish to oppose the development. - As pointed out above, all information has been readily available for many months now providing ample time allowing the public to assemble a valid rebuttal or challenge before Council renders a decision. To our knowledge, no comments, new information or professional technical peer reviews of our studies have been received to date.
