At a special council meeting on Aug. 26, Henry Stolp, on behalf of the St. George Area Study Group, requested that council approve a resolution directing staff that the county-wide development charges by-law be amended to include a mechanism whereby the by-law itself and the associated background study could be re-opened as soon as the St. George Area Study is completed.

At a special council meeting on Aug. 26, Henry Stolp, on behalf of the St. George Area Study Group, requested that council approve a resolution directing staff that the county-wide development charges by-law be amended to include a mechanism whereby the by-law itself and the associated background study could be re-opened as soon as the St. George Area Study is completed, since more accurate estimates will be available for calculation purposes. Stolp noted that a new background study and public meeting may be required if the county-wide development charges are re-opened. He also recognized that this new information could result in either an increase or decrease in the development charges. In response to a question, Stolp advised that about $19 million in projects is covered by the St. George Urban Settlement Area.
