[All] Waterloo Region Open Houses on Protected Countryside

[Deb Swidrovich]

Hi John:

I thought I'd send the following information from the Region's website to
everyone.  It is dated, but it may help to understand the next steps that
were to follow after the Jun 16/09 decision by Council on the ROP.
http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca/web/region.nsf/8ef02c0fded0c82a85256e590071a3ce/FD7C53F4682A0E598525760A0063B99B/$file/ROPmemo.pdf?openelement

I presume that most already know that the southwest corner of Kitchener has
been removed from the Protected Countryside designated area in the
information sent out recently, as compared to Map 7 that was presented to
Council for consideration on Jun 16th.  The current Map 7 can be found here
(takes a while to download all the maps to get to Map 7):
http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca/web/region.nsf/DocID/CA5BC18540AE6A2185257555006D0304/$file/MAPS.pdf

It is very important that we attend the open houses and voice our concerns.
>From what I have heard, many of the negative comments the Region has
received pertain to aggregate extraction or misunderstandings about what can
or cannot be done on land after the designation is in place (similar to the
ESL residents' concerns).  Regional personnel welcome any comments,
especially our support for the Protected Countryside, as well as our
continued support for the same level of protection for the southwest corner
of Kitchener.  They strongly suggest that we put our comments in writing at
the open houses (the written comments carry considerable weight and will be
included in a report to Planning & Works as mentioned in the report above).

There are still two open houses scheduled to be held in Baden on Oct 7th,
and in Elmira on Oct 15th as stated in your previous e-mail.  I encourage
everyone to attend.
