ROAR‘s rezoning petition draws 248 signatures By CHERYL ELLIOT Special to the North News The River Oaks Association of Residents (ROAR) added its voice to those concerned about a rezoning application submitted by the River Oaks Group at the Aug. 4th Planning and Development Council Meeting. "I told the meeting I had some concerns about services in the area," said director Jim Richards at the association‘s monthly meetâ€" ing last week, "and felt the appliâ€" cation was premature." The Group is seeking an Official Plan amendment and rezoning which would increase housing density on a portion of land extending from the Oakdene lands to the east, Towne Boulevard to the west, Highway 5 to the north, and River Glen NORTH NEWS NEWS TIPS IF YOU HAVE ANY NEWS TIPS FOR OAKVILLE NORTH NEWS PLEASE CALL: WILMA BLOKHUIS AT 845â€"5585 BOX #5449 enc CV Boulevard to the south. The application prompted the presentation of an independent petition of 248 signatures from nearby residents at the Planning and Development Council Meeting, as well as, a unanimousâ€" ly passed motion by Ward 5 counâ€" cillor, Sean Weir, calling for furâ€" ther evaluation and publicizing of the proposed development. Richards said that he didn‘t understand why residents don‘t get involved with ROAR as a repâ€" resentative group. Representatives from the River Oaks Group will discuss the rezoning application at a public meeting sponsored by ROAR in September, according to ROAR president, Bob Mcintosh.
