Friends,
We just got word that the County Draft Official Plan will be presented to the Municipal Council tomorrow, December 11th at 5pm for approval (see email announcement below).
It appears that none of the concerns that were raised by the community and in our PWEP proposal have been addressed by the planners, and yet staff will recommend that the municipal council approve the County's draft mapping.
We therefore invite you all to send an urgent letter of protest to the entire municipal council, asking them to challenge the County's proposal. You are welcome to use the following template:
I am writing to you with regard to Bruce County's Official Plan Review. Members of the public and PWEP have made repeated submissions to the municipality and planning staff outlining grave concerns with the County's proposed mapping, and yet staff appears poised to recommend that the municipal council endorse the current proposed plan at the council meeting tomorrow, December 11th. I respectfully urge the Kincardine Council NOT to endorse the current plan, and to advocate for a reduction of the settlement area, reverting the designation of Inverhuron to Hamlet, and applying special policy areas for environmental protection purposes, as outlined in the PWEP proposal.
Allowing an Urban Settlement designation to be applied to Inverhuron and all along the lakeshore would have grave negative impacts on the environment and the community. Please listen to your constituents and help us protect fragile natural environments throughout this area.
