Motion to add late issue to development charge appeal dismissed; settlement of by-law appeals approved.
Shoal Bayly brought a motion to add an issue to the Issues List regarding the funding of a specific road and bridge project through the Region's development charges.
The Region and other appellants had already reached a settlement on the existing issues.
The Tribunal dismissed the motion, finding that the proposed issue was distinct, should have been raised earlier, and was more appropriately addressed in separate ongoing proceedings regarding Shoal Bayly's draft plan of subdivision.
The Tribunal then approved the uncontested settlement, finding the proposed changes to the Development Charge By-law to be fair, reasonable, and in compliance with the Development Charges Act.
