At the first Case Management Conference, the Tribunal granted party status to the Canadian National Railway Company and a local residents' association, and participant status to a local resident.

The Tribunal also directed the parties to finalize an Issues List and Procedural Order, and scheduled a 14-day merit hearing.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding appeals by Dotty Lake Retreats Inc. against the City of Guelph's failure to make decisions on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications.

The applications seek to permit a 24-unit stacked townhouse development.

The Tribunal granted participant status to one individual and deferred a decision on a party status request to the next CMC.

The Tribunal also consolidated the two appeals and scheduled a second CMC to either review a potential settlement or set dates for a merit hearing.
