As expected it was a lovefest with the developers, lawyers Independence in your home is our goal! and planners singing the praises of the new proposed City of Midhurst and its potential 30,000 residents. I estimate * Accessibility for the Physically Challenged the costs for the high paid and extremely well prepared • Carpentry and Renovation Services professional talent was about $30,000 for the day, paid for by the landowners and development community. No Call: Rob McClung 705-717-7614 one was present to protect the interests of Springwater residents except for the Midhurst Ratepayers Association www.simcoeresidentialsolutions.ca who took the position of a Participant at the hearing. Our high paid Springwater staff were window dressing and did Visitors in Midhurst not comment on behalf of you and me. As mentioned in Navy League cadets my last article, because of pressure from the NVCA Board, which is comprised of our local elected officials that favour development, the NVCA have now changed their original position that the hearings were premature and opened the door for approval. Your elected officials will argue that before building will proceed there are a number of conditions that must be met such as Environmental Assessment Studies, Financial Agreements and so forth. On the surface that sounds like reasonable logic. Unfortunately if and when the OMB approves the Mega development zoning, I will bet each of those conditions will be diluted to the extent that the Springwater will be exposed to untold legacy costs. If we had someone leading the Township that understood deal making, you would never do a deal with a party that outguns you until all conditions are approved. There is more than a subtle difference between approving a deal with conditions as opposed to doing a deal where Repaving the Elmvale Community nothing can proceed until all conditions are met. You will Parking Lot - pics from Constance Smith quickly see approvals for preliminary infrastructure work and model homes. Once the ball gets rolling, the project becomes more difficult to stop. The good news it can still be stopped if there is a political will. I almost fell off my chair when I was speaking to one of our councillors about the negative effect that this Midhurst Mega Development will have on all of Springwater. Her reasoning was, “Why should Barrie get all those tax dollars instead of Springwater?” Unfortunately this is the flawed understanding of development charges and new tax dollars. In every fast growing community such as Barrie, Mississauga and Vaughan, the DC’s and new tax dollars Colby Barker, 10, of Midhurst, (far left) and other cover about 75% of actual costs leaving the municipality Navy League cadets ride on the bowsprit of the sailing with increased debt and higher taxes.

The Liberal government set aside all good planning policies by granting the Midhurst Special Rule which allowed the MSP to proceed and only two of our elected officials objected. It will take the same government to reverse the MSP with a new Special Rule which they have full authority to invoke. The MSP contravenes a number of policies in both the Provincial Policy Statement and the Places to Grow legislation. It only approved the Midhurst Special Rule because this council requested the approval and did not provide any objection to the plan. The discussions and maneuvering was all orchestrated behind closed doors. I would like to correct any misunderstanding about my position on growth in response to a call from one resident that stated I was against progress due to my position on the Midhurst Mega City proposal.
