Roselena Drive Extension and Subdivision Development

June 20, 2018

I have been thinking about the proposed development at the end of Roselena and what it will offer to the people who will live there and who already live nearby and how it will impact the natural spaces. Fifty -one homes will change this area forever so how do we make sure that people are given an attractive and safe place to live and the natural features are protected as much as possible?

Official Plan—Part 3

June 11, 2018

North of Dr. Kay Dr. on the east side of Main Street is a row of heritage homes extending past the intersection at Western Ave. These homes include the historic train station.

In the new draft Official Plan the first eight properties have been identified as Special Development Area 2 (SDA -2) .A Special Development Area designation identifies an area for future redevelopment. It requires a comprehensive plan for roads, services and structures. SDA – 2 also allows for mixed use with a generous allowance for commercial use.

66 Main Street

June 7, 2018

I thought I would update you on what is happening at 66 Main Street. A group of us met with the developer yesterday to discuss the protection of the heritage home. He took us on a tour of the house which is currently full of trash. He will be inviting the Heritage Advisory Committee and the Museum to tour the place as well. There are some beautiful interior features but the restoration will be a lot of work. The developer is not only happy to do the restoration but is eager to see the house assume its former grandeur.

My name is Mary Asselstine and I have lived in Schomberg since 1985. Through those years I have raised my family and have volunteered in my community. I have always been interested in what makes community work … the people, the character, the events, the opportunities, the politics and the history. I have seen a lot of changes since I moved to King Township, especially over the last 10 years. In this Blog I want to examine what is happening in our communities and what is driving change (for better or for worse). I encourage you to join me on this adventure to inform, consider, envision and advocate for a future that we can be happy with and proud of.
