The Ontario Land Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding multiple appeals of the City of Kawartha Lakes 2012 Official Plan and various Official Plan Amendments.

The Tribunal granted a motion for disclosure, allowing information pertaining to servicing capacity to be entered into evidence at the upcoming hearing.

The Tribunal denied a request by certain appellants to postpone dealing with the Lindsay urban boundary issue, directing that the hearing proceed as originally scheduled.

Finally, the Tribunal approved the modified Official Plan Schedules A-2, A-4, and A-5, and finalized the Procedural Order for the Phase 2 hearing.

The Tribunal issued an amending decision to correct a typographical error in its July 21, 2021 decision.

The correction clarified that the City had suggested 30 days prior to witness statements exchange would be insufficient, whereas the applicant submitted that a 90-day deadline would better facilitate a settlement.

The applicant appealed the City's failure to make a decision on a zoning by-law amendment application to permit a 14-unit townhouse development.

At this Case Management Conference, the Tribunal granted party and participant status to several local residents.

The Tribunal finalized the Procedural Order and Issues List, striking a proposed issue that would have required the final zoning by-law to be satisfactory to the resident parties, finding it inappropriate to give third parties such control.

An 8-day hearing was scheduled.
