The project includes the linkage of East Braemar Road and Demp- sey Road, a network of new roads and the development of 276 new lots of varying sizes. Many Upper Lonsdale area resi- dents have been vehemently op- posed to the development, which will see the crosstown connection of upper Lynn Valley with upper Lonsdale. 1 Braemar resident Atlan Edgeworth, who initiated court ac. tion Oct. 25, served on the Braemar-Dempsey liaison commit- tee, which was formed earlier this year to encourage resident input during the planning stages of the development. Edgeworth said a plan, agreed upon by the committee, was to be the subject cf a Sept. 12 public hearing. A notice of public hearing was sent to residents and included a map outlining the planned layout of streets, zoning and lots. Edgeworth received the hearing notice Sept. 8. On Sept. 11, the district received a letter from Edgeworth outlining his outstanding concerns about the project based on the information published in the hearing notice. Edgeworth said he was unable to attend the hearing because of an out-of-town commitment. But when the plan was presented to the public at the hearing, a por- tion of the zoning abutting a plan- ned neighborhood park had been changed by the planning depart- ment. The modified rezoning plan was adopted Sept. 26 by council. Said Edgeworth: ‘'*You can say it’s a very small change but the fact is that when a rezoning bylaw is presented, people should have the right to make comment. I didn’t have a chance to address the land use changes. I’ve been at council meetings where there have been two or three-hour discussions on something as minute as a small fot infill change. Ldgeworth’s argues the bylaw as adopted is ma- terially different, contravenes sec- tions of the Municipal Act, and petition ta court that the petitioner (Edgeworth) was denied ‘ta meaningful oppor- tunity to oe heard or to present written submissions, *' FDR LS PES URL ORL “They radically changed the map. They say they made minor changes. We disagree. ”’ —Upper Lonsdale resident Wendy Mehain Said Upper Lonsdale area resi- dent and Braemar link protestor Wendy Mehain: ‘‘They radically changed the map. They say they made minor changes. We disagree. Besides the issue of the road, it’s the whole concept of the district pretending to listen to you, and then they turn around and do what they want to do anyways.’” The zoning alterations made by the planning department include an increase in new lot sizes on St. Florians Court; the relocation of lots on the west side of the park on Princess Avenue and East Braemar; and the relocation of lots near a quarry. Municipal planner Kai Kreuchen said he could not comment on the issue while it was before the court.
