    Carried

The public was given the opportunity to submit questions via e-mail to the City Clerk’s Office regarding any decisions made at this meeting.

P. Fay, City Clerk, read the following three questions from Prashanth Kumar Panda, Brampton resident with respect to Item 5.2:

1. Most residents raised their concern about the community center / library and spaces for outdoor play area issue in Brampton west so wondering why the planners are not planning to expedite the construction instead further delaying the construction of Mississauga /Embleton community park, There have been many email to Councillor Palleschi and a petition on change.org regarding the same from the residents of Brampton west. Building the community center after the completion of housing construction in Brampton west is considered good planning. What consideration is taken into consideration about current residents living without basic amenities and kids suffering because of that issue?

2. What are the next steps for rezoning applications from the builder (Scottish Heather Developments Inc.) which the residents of the area are opposed to? Do we consider the motion for File OZA 2020-0011 stopped and no further action is required from residents?

3. We have submitted an application to expedite the construction in 2018 to Councillor Palleschi. What action was taken to expedite the construction process of Mississauga / Embleton community park in the last 3 years?

Staff noted that the processing of the development application will include a multi-departmental review of technical studies submitted by the applicant, to ensure sufficient levels of open space and parks are provided to meet the needs of the community. A recommendation report will be brought to a future meeting, and all individuals that provided comments on the application will be advised of the meeting date so they may submit further correspondence or delegate if they so wish.

P. Fay, City Clerk, noted that the questions will be provided to staff directly for response to the resident

Committee noted that questions 1 and 3 will be raised at the Special Council Meeting re. Budget, on December 9, 2020, for further response from staff.
