"What we don't want to see is someone put a glass dome over downtown Oakville and say, `It's fine Jack. Leave it alone. It doesn't need any tinkering,' and take away the tools that are in the plan today that allow for the orderly development of downtown Oakville," said Cheeseman. "The plan calls for 80 units over the next 30 years to be added to downtown Oakville. We think that's a rather small amount of intensification for downtown Oakville given the amount of intensification we're speaking about in this document." Another developer was unhappy because through the Livable Oakville plan his Kerr Street Village property was designated as employment lands. "We feel as though we were acting responsibly in accordance with what council's direction was in 2004 and made investment decisions based on that. Five years later it seems like council and staff have changed their minds and it's troubling to us," said Stephen Deveaux, Tribute Communities."We certainly are left with what seems to be an undevelopable piece of property that is no longer considered to be part of Kerr Village." In closing Deveaux asked council to change the property designation, located to the east of Woody Road, back from employment to mixed use. Harvest Bible Church spokesperson Jamie Cameron had a similar problem to that of Deveaux's in that the land for a proposed church would suddenly become employment land under `Livable Oakville'. A second public meeting is set for Monday, June 22 at 6 p.m. to consider any revisions to `Livable Oakville' resulting from public consultation. If council approves the `Livable Oakville' plan it will be brought before the Region, which will be asked to give its approval. Town staff is hoping the Region will approve the plan before the end of 2009.
