URGENT- Up to 60% of DDO lands PRESERVED

Council Approves Mediated Settlement for David Dunlap Observatory Lands At its Special Council Meeting held on April 12, 2012, Richmond Hill Council unanimously approved the mediated settlement as described in the Minutes of Settlement related to the Corsica Development application at 123 Hillsview Drive, Richmond Hill. The Minutes of Settlement is accessible at the following link:

Approximately 60% of the DDO lands would be transferred from private owner to the Town for future public parkland and open space, if the 5-party mediated and ratified settlement is ultimately approved by the OMB.

Provided for your information is my open letter to residents regarding the process, the decision and what’s next following Council’s unanimous adoption of the OMB mediated settlement on the application for proposed development on the DDO site.
