that this project will extend onto surrounding farm land John Casey solicitor for the developers told council the acres had originally been part of the Devils Elbow community This portion the only part of the community east of Ave was not included in the sub mission that went to the province for approval because of an error by town staff The municipality wants to correct its error Mr Casey said

commissioner said if the plan was approved the farmland to the east would not be able to stay in livestock production because it would violate the agricultural code of practice The plan doesnt have the physical amenities for rural residential Weinberg said because the land is open featureless and good for agriculture Edward regional solicitor said any rural residential development in would be deducted from the population for King Township Whitchurch Stouffville and East Council agreed to reject the plan even though it would have been approved four years ago if Markham staff had not left it
