If you’ve been reading the Meaford media lately, you’ve probably heard the latest news about Meaford Haven. Meaford Haven is another step closer to realizing the goal of an active retirement community for the three seasons of your retirement in this beautiful Ontario town.
Meaford Council has approved a resolution recommending to Grey County that the draft plan for the Meaford Haven subdivision be approved.
The Meaford Independent reports that Director of Planning & Building Services, Rob Armstrong told council that “the Meaford Haven proposal conforms to planning policies outlined by the province, as well as those of Grey County. Armstrong also said that issues raised by area residents have also been taken into account.”
Armstrong’s report to council explained that “there has been significant consultation with various individuals including the Conservation Authority, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Environmental Peer Review Consultant for the Municipality and County, and a committee of residents from the Ridge Creek Subdivision. This Consultation resulted in two significant changes to the plan that included maintaining the northern watercourse and relocating the internal road to the east and providing a second road linkage to Ridge Creek Drive.”
Once the County approves the plan for the subdivision, Meaford will then be able to approve a re-zoning request for the development.
Things are moving along for this unique Meaford retirement community, and we’ll keep you posted with more good news soon.
Here’s the Meaford Express report on the new development.
