The Glenway Preservation Association held a statutory public meeting to discuss a development proposal and why it should not be accepted. The association represents over 50 volunteers and has 1,500 signatures opposing the development. They argue the proposal's rationale is highly questionable as the development is not located in the secondary growth plan area and is contrary to the official plan. They also argue there is enough other development planned to meet future growth targets without developing this green space, which was important to the community before environmental issues were a major concern. The association believes the proposal should not be accepted.

A developer has purchased the greenspace in the Glenway subdivision and requested re-zoning. The proposal will double the population of the subdivision and create infrastructure problems: traffic, sewer and water, schools, etcetera. The residents are opposed. The neighbourhood was built 26 years ago around this greenspace.
The reason for building greener homes is really quite important. We need to live more lightly on the earth, because the degradation of our environment is compromising not only our survival, but the survival of most other living beings on the planet.
We can no longer ignore the impact we have on the earth’s ecosystems. The way we live, the choices we make in providing for our needs, will have an enormous influence on the quality of life of those who will follow us. Now is the time to take responsibility for the consequences of our life styles!
Located at 314 N. Cleveland Street, this property covers .25acre and is very close to the Oceanside pier. Our plan is to build a 10-unit, ecovillage condo development.

As well-known green builders, we will pursue the LEED Platinum and BuilditGreen designations on this project, and will include such key features as consideration of natural daylighting, healthy build materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, electric car outlets and improved indoor air quality.
Scott Loney and Alicia Worley, both long-time residents of the area, support the Woodcreek 66 housing development project.

They believe the development will enhance the surrounding community and local businesses, bringing needed progress to the area through new housing, jobs, and support for wineries and restaurants. They urge support for the well-planned and designed project that will beautify and embrace the valley through orderly and sustainable growth.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.

New forms of engagement are required under recent planning legislation in Northern Ireland. While technologies have changed, the fundamentals of engagement through communication and influence remain the same. Three recent examples show how underestimating community concerns and failing to meaningfully consult can lead to projects being rejected or facing delays. Successful engagement requires a proactive, multichannel strategy that seeks views from the wider community rather than just objectors and shapes the information environment from the start.

Designing Health through Housing
Where someone lives affects every aspect of their life, especially their health. Homes that are of lower quality, not well-designed and unaffordable have been linked to poor health, such as asthma, obesity, mental health challenges and more. For the most vulnerable populations who have the fewest choices in both their health care and their housing, there is an enormous opportunity to impact their health through their housing. This opportunity comes into focus in the building of subsidized affordable homes, which are more easily targeted for improvement due to their formal funding structure. Enterprise Community Partners, a national affordable housing intermediary, is tackling the long-term goal of improving health through housing. This presentation introduces the complex affordable housing system and the unique challenges it presents to adopting people-centered design, and then walks through two specific tools that present system-changing solutions: the Design Matters Toolkit and the Health Action Plan. The Design Matters Toolkit provides simple suggested behavior changes for affordable housing developers to incorporate more health outcomes into their properties, and Enterprise’s Health Action Plan framework guides developers through a structured process to partner with public health professionals to identify the highest impact resident health outcomes that can be influenced by the built environment, integrate relevant interventions in the design and development or rehabilitation of homes, and to measure the impact of those changes.

2) The Lofts at Sherwood Falls in Berlin, CT converted an abandoned mill into housing. Berlin provided $1.1 million in bonds to cover environmental cleanup costs, justified by the project increasing Berlin's tax revenue. The completed project includes 85 condo units that have increased Berlin's tax assessments. Both projects showed how municipalities and

Through an iterative process of incorporating feedback and making compromises, they were ultimately able to gain approval while treating opposition with respect.
The Golden Rules - Eland House Neighbourhood Planning Event, 25 SeptemberJonathan Green
This document provides guidance on developing a successful neighbourhood plan. The key points are:
1) Follow three "Golden Rules" - plan positively, put yourself in others' shoes, and get a clear plan to follow the process.
2) Consider the viewpoints of those involved - the examiner ensuring it meets requirements, voters in the referendum, decision-makers using it, and developers affected by it.
3) Understand the neighbourhood planning process and timescales to ensure a successful referendum and finalized neighborhood plan. Neighborhood plans must be positive, conform to strategic plans, and support sustainable development.
This document provides guidance on neighbourhood planning, including key principles and considerations. It emphasizes that neighbourhood plans should:
1) Plan positively to support development and meet local needs, while conforming to strategic local plans and national policies.
2) Ensure the process is inclusive and transparent to gain community support.
3) Consider the perspective of multiple stakeholders, including independent examiners, voters, decision-makers, and developers, to create an effective plan that can be implemented.
4) Follow the formal regulations and timescales to successfully complete the neighbourhood planning process.

HCA Investment Programmes - Regen Conference March 2017Steve Modric
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) aims to increase housing delivery across England by working locally with partners. The HCA provides £28 billion in funding, land, planning support, and construction expertise to support new affordable and market rate housing. A case study highlights how the HCA is investing £364 million in the Liverpool City Region through 2021 to support over 7,000 new housing starts and regenerate brownfield sites. Local partners are encouraged to work with the HCA to access funding and support that can increase new housing in their areas.
The proposal is for a new mixed-use development comprising 700 square meters of office space on the ground floor and 76 residential apartments above, replacing an existing two-story office building. The development will include private, affordable, and rental housing units of one to three bedrooms each with private outdoor space. There will be 35 underground parking spaces and a landscaped public space along Davigdor Road. The landscaping and building design aim to achieve sustainability standards through efficient construction, daylighting, potential renewable energy systems, and reduction of operating costs.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

3. Agenda

The Proposal
Why it should not be accepted
4. Agenda
Who we are
The Proposal
Why it should not be accepted
5. Who We Are
The Glenway Preservation Association is incorporated
and is the only registered association with the town of
Newmarket.
We have over 50 active volunteers and a petition of
1,500 signatures from residents opposing the
development proposal.
Through our regular communication we reach 700
households and had more than 300 residents at our
recent public meeting in November.
6. Mission Statement
“To preserve and protect the existing open green-
space and neighbourhood values associated with the
Glenway community”
7. The values we want to protect
Protecting the green space that has been, and
remains, a key objective within the Town’s Official
Plan
Preserving quality of lifestyle that brought us to
Glenway - and to Newmarket
Protecting the investment in our homes
Safeguard the neighbourhood environment
Prevent negative impact to the quality and cost of
existing and planned infrastructure that this proposal
would bring about
8. Agenda
Who we are
The Proposal
Why it should not be accepted

11. Agenda
Who we are
The Proposal
Why it should not be accepted
12. Why it should not be accepted
We are not here tonight to talk about:
how many houses should be built
how tall should the condos be
how tall the fencing and berms should be and where
the trees should be replanted
what the obvious negative traffic impacts will be
13. Why it should not be accepted
We are not here tonight to talk about:
unavoidable issues with storm water management
limited sewage allocation
significant disruption to a stable, planned
neighbourhood
strain on existing infrastructure and resources
increased TAXES on all Newmarket residents
sufficient schooling enrolment
14. Why it should not be accepted
So here’s what we are going to talk about:
The rationale for this proposal is highly questionable
The real objectives of the Places to Grow Act
There is more than enough development to meet
future growth targets
The Developers approach in our community
Glenway was green before green was a colour
15. A Highly Questionable Rationale
Contrary to Official Plan
Not located within Secondary Growth Plan area
Does not adequately incorporate the planned growth
in this area
Eliminates valuable green space for current and
future residents’ use
Unrealistic assessment of infrastructure ‘stress’
16. The objective of the Places to Grow Act
We support the Town’s plan to preserve our green space &
our stable, long-standing community
Objective is NOT to dictate HOW the Towns grow, but to
provide guidance & targets
According to the Developer, their proposal “helps fulfill the
direction of the Growth Plan. It provides for significant
growth within part of the existing built-up area of
Newmarket. It will assist in meeting the Provincial targets for
intensification”
WE DON’T NEED THIS KIND OF ASSISTANCE!!
17. More than enough Development
Town to grow from 85,000 Properties zoned
to 98,000 by 2026 residential that follow OP:
Properties in the North McGregor Farm (Davis
West and South East and Bathurst)
account for approximately Toth Farm (west of the
7,000 more residents Upper Canada Mall)
Properties on Yonge and
Slessor Square
Davis account for
approximately 3,000 more Davis and George
residents Yonge and Millard
18. The Developers and their approach
Proposal is vague
Manipulating interaction and consultation with
residents
No commitment to golf course. Hinges on Phase 1
approval
Relying on positive OMB hearing decision
20. In Summary
The rationale for this proposal is deeply flawed
Growth inside of this stable neighborhood is
unnecessary AND not required in order for us to meet
the Places to Grow Act requirements
Glenway development is contrary to the Official Plan
The open green space of this community will serve as
a recreational area for the 10,000 new residents
planned for this part of town
Editor's Notes
Good evening Mayor Van Bynen and fellow Councillors and members of staff.I’m Ron Kassies, Chair of the GPA and with me is Christina Bisanz, Vice Chair of the GPA.We are please that you have given us this opportunity to speak before you this evening.We would also request that we be given 15 minutes tonight instead of 10 minutes due to the size of the group we represent.
We used to have thisWe don’t deserve this!There is no need for development.
Our agenda is in three parts as you can see on the screen before you
The Glenway Preservation Association is incorporated and is the only registered association representing Glenway.We have over 50 active volunteers and a petition of 1,500 signatures from residents opposing the development proposal.Through our regular communication we reach 700 households and had more than 300 residents at our recent public meeting in November.We are the public voice of the community as shown by the approach we have taken.
Protecting the green space that has been, and remains, a key objective within the Town’s Official PlanPreserving quality of lifestyle that brought us to Glenway - and to NewmarketProtecting the investment in our homesSafeguard the neighbourhood environmentPrevent negative impact to the quality and cost of existing and planned infrastructure that this proposal would bring about
We are not here tonight to talk about:How inconsistent the proposed high rise condos and semi-detached housing is to the lazy flowing quiet road network, large lots, mature trees and single family detached homes that is Glenway.How obvious is it that thousands of additional vehicles will add to congestion, pollution and safety. How many vehicle accidents will there be on Eagle, Crossland Gate, and Alex Doner! Will our children still be able to walk to and from school!
We are not here tonight to talk about: Unavoidable issues with Glenway unique storm water management system. limited sewage allocation significant disruption to a stable, planned neighborhood uniquely conceived and designed around the open green space of the golf course accelerated obsolescence and strain on existing infrastructure and services. And increased taxes on Newmarket residents which ensues from an insufficient funding formula insuring enrolment sufficient to maintain quality education within walking distance for our elementary and high school aged children. <Hold up copy of YRDSB letter regarding the request for an elementary school within the proposal>These are clearly all issues that concern all of us - and more - in this current proposal. BUT RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON THE FLAWED PLANNING DETAILS OF THIS PROPOSAL, WE’D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSAL IN THE FIRST PLACE
So here’s what we are going to talk about:The rationale for this proposal is highly questionable for both the community and the Town of NewmarketThe real objectives of the Places to Grow ActThat there is more than enough development to meet targeted growth and the requirements of Places to Grow. The OP has already received approval at the Regional level.The Developers and their approach in our community: we’re going to talk about our experience in dealing with these people - especially in the context of other developers we’ve encounteredAnd finally, the fact that Glenway was green before green was a colour
The proposal is inappropriate for the community and the Town of NewmarketBECAUSE IT’S:Contrary to Official PlanNot located within Secondary Growth Plan’s Yonge Davis corridorDoes not adequately incorporate the planned growth in this areaEliminates valuable green space for future residents’ use. By 2026, the increased population & vehicular density in this area will require a ‘safety valve’ of green space for this community - regardless of its configuration (ie. golf course, parkland, etc.)Does not realistically plan for infrastructure ‘stress’ (traffic, schooling, water management, safety, congestion etc.)
We agree with the current Official Plan. It has created a growth plan that meets the requirements and guidelines set out by the Places to Grow act: intensification, transit, and focus on Yonge/Davis corridor growth We encourage the Town to strive to meet acceptable density targets laid out for such intensification in those areas approved and planned for future developmentAND, we support the Town completely in their plan to preserve our green space and spare our stable, long-standing community from the upheaval of this unnecessary development The Objective of the Places to Grow act is to guide municipal decisions around growth targets and intensification The Objective is NOT to dictate HOW the Towns grow, but to provide guidance & targets The Town’s plan and planned growth already has Regional approval and is on (actually, over) target According to the Developer, their proposal ‘helps fulfill the direction of the Growth Plan. It provides for significant growth within part of the existing built-up area of Newmarket. It will assist in meeting the Provincial targets for intensification’ WE REALLY DON’T NEED THIS TYPE OF HELP.
There is more than enough development to exceed growth commitmentsIf we look at just the sampling of current developments that are consistent to the Town and Region’s Planning we are just about at our 2026 growth target.Mandate is for the town to grow from 85,000 residents today to 98,000 or 13,000 more by 2026Properties in the North West and South East account for approximately 7,000 more residentsProperties on Yonge and Davis account for approximately 3,000 more residentsThat means 20,000 more cars in the Yonge/Davis corridorAnd this does not include infill developments, six of which are in ward 5
Proposal is vague – seemingly on purposeEntire parcels of land which surrounds Glenway Circle offer no details and could be spun off to 3rd partyNo details provided on private roads or gated accessPoor traffic studies (we have all lived here for 20 years and know congestion times and areas)Where is elementary school going to be located (adjacent to GO Station or east side of Eagle could be appropriate) We are also finding that there is manipulating interaction and consultation with residentsDivide and conquer approach with residentsThey have not met with most of the residents that back onto the front 12 holes of the golf courseThere has been suggestions of individual offers to residents to get their buy in.There is currently no commitment to building a golf course. As stated by the Developer’s communications representative, this hinges solely on Phase 1 being approved.It seems obvious based on the Developer’s actions that they are only going through the motions and relying on positive OMB hearing decision!We have also seen and experienced how other developers in this town have met face to face with residents to hear and address their concerns and not through a representative.
Glenway is an award winning community – it is deliberately built as a award winning golf course community.The Golf course offered an unique designed irrigation /storm water system to satisfy Town’s mandate for zero water useThe Glenway neighbourhood was purposely planned around this gateway to the Town of Newmarket as a flowing network of quiet streets, large lots, detached single family homes, and picturesque views
So in summary, Growth inside of this stable neighborhood is unnecessary AND not required in order for us to meet the Places to Grow Act requirementsThe Glenway development is contrary to the Official PlanThe open green space of this community will serve as a recreational area for the 10,000 new residents planned for this part of townAnd Newmarket is already underserved in per capita greenspaceAnd finally, the rationale for this proposal is deeply flawed.So once again Mayor Van Bynen and Councillors, we thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening.
