Notice from our DSLPOA President, Karl Gonnsen:
I received via mail a notice on the Township of Dysart et al “Official Plan Update” – to view click here. You will note that a Public Meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday August 8, 2017 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Office at 135 Maple Avenue. A copy of the Official plan is available from the Planning Department at the Municipal office between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM , Monday to Friday, or by phoning 705-457-1740, or from the Municipality’s website at http://www.dysartetal.ca/planning/dysart-et-al-official-plan-5-year-review-and-update/
This meeting is open to all of the public to give input to Council on the New Official Plan. I have read parts of the plan and will be making a submission to Council on behalf of the Drag and Spruce Lakes Property Owners Association. My reading is not complete yet but I did note that the Municipality intends to re-designate the site of the proposed Biochar plant to an employment designation. I have not completed my review and cannot say at this time what impact this change will have on the site.
I am seeking input from all members of the DSLPOA for the submission on your behalf – please submit to dragandsprucelakes@gmail.com, or you can make your own submission. In addition I intend to make a personal submission on behalf of my wife and I. You can reach me at kgonnsen@metrocon.ca (The e-mail address in the directory is incorrect).
Best regards,
Karl Gonnsen
