Draft Plan of Subdivision approved; proposed servicing and road network found adequate despite municipal objections.
The applicant appealed the County's failure to make a decision on its application for a Draft Plan of Subdivision for a 432-unit residential community.
The issues centered on the adequacy of proposed external servicing improvements, the safety and efficiency of the proposed road network (specifically an S-curve), and the proposed parkland dedication.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's proposed servicing improvements were adequate and did not require a complete replacement of external infrastructure.
The Tribunal also preferred the applicant's transportation evidence, finding the road network safe and efficient.
Finally, the Tribunal held that the parkland dedication had already been settled in a previous agreement.
The appeal was allowed, with final approval withheld pending draft conditions.
