In addition to the applicant's request, the town will be undertaking a housekeeping amendment to remove the Holding Provision off the town-owned land. No development is proposed on the town lands. The subject lands are generally east of the Bronte Provincial Park, west of Colonel William in the vicinity of the town's woodlot.
