Ladies
and Gentlemen
An Easter break and finally the weather is
showing us a little hope as well. Spring
flowers give us the promise of better days ahead. And the reminder to get out and enjoy being
in Midland.
The Town offices are closed on Monday April
1st – no kidding.
On Tuesday April 2nd the Town will
be raising the flag for Autism at 11:00 am at Town Hall. Later that day in Midhurst,
mayors from around the Bay will be meeting for an update on the low water levels.
Substantive meetings are now being set with opposition parties at Queens Park
and with senior Ministers in Ottawa. (My own unscientific observations over the
weekend are that Midland water levels are just a bit above where they were last
fall.)
Wednesday April 3rd at 7:00 pm
at the Town Hall is Planning and Development Committee. It will begin with a public
meeting where you are encouraged to provide your comments. Three items on the
agenda:
1.
Official Plan Amendment for the
recycling facility at 1081 MacDonald Rd.
2.
Draft Plan of Condominium for
Marina Park (the “yellow-clad” building by Bayport)
3.
Zoning By-law Amendment for a
property exchange at 289/293/297/305/309 Penetanguishene Rd.
Then we move into our regular meeting where
we will decide upon the three items from the public meeting plus:
-
The Site Plan application for
the new Bourgeois Motors on Cranston Cres.
-
Notice that Unimin has filed
with the OMB with regard to the Town’s Interim Control By-law
Mark Sunday April 7th on your
calendar for the return of Books to Eat at the Library at 2 pm. Last year was
sold out and this year promises to be bigger and better. Tickets are $20 at the
Library.
*****
In
closing, an update from the County. Our request for Midland to provide an
additional leaf vacuuming service has been sent by County Council to staff for
a report. The expectation is that County Council will vote on the staff
recommendation in April. And remember we are under the new County Waste plan. Midland’s
waste pick up is now Tuesday. Garden material pick-up also starts – check your County
calendar.
