concerns
- July
3, 2005 OMB decision to not allow rezoning of hazard land in
Mississippi Mills. John
Price's explanation
- May
2003, OMB ruling against floodplain development on Burnt River,
Kawartha Lakes. "Having carefully considered the Provincial
Policy Statement and the Planning Act provisions
in the circumstances "at hand", the Board finds that to permit
development of the peninsula lands located as they are in the Burnt
River which floods regularly, would not be good land use planning. It
would have the very real probability of putting the lives and
properties of existing residents at risk. Frankly, there is simply no
compelling reason to develop these lands despite the unfortunate past
actions of the Ministry of Natural Resources. The protection of public
safety must be paramount in these circumstances. "
