designation of the Greenwood Schoolhouse is to send out a

actual designation should take place in the Fall.

R. Fleming advised the Committee of information received from
the Director, Planning & Development regarding the review of
applications by the Committee. He had explained that while
these applications may be technically 'complete' under the
Planning Act, from the City's perspective they are premature
until such time as various other works for Seaton are completed
or well underway.
3.5) Rogers Farm
R. Lawson informed the Committee she had attended a meeting
hosted by the Historical Society regarding the 407 and noted
there was a lot of concern in this respect. She noted the
significant architectural and historical value of Rogers Farm.
The Committee was in agreement that it would be beneficial to
have a representative from AECOM attend our June meeting to
discuss this issue . L. Roberts made note that they had been
given the date for the June meeting and was just awaiting
confirmation at this point. It was also suggested Rogers Farm
could possibly be a 2011 Bicentennial project.
R. Fleming suggested he could contact Rogers Communications
and noted he could refer a contact name to R. Lawson for
further information. It was suggested this would make a good
story and would be a good opportunity to gain media attention.
It was suggested we wait until speaking with MTO before
approaching Rogers.
Councillor Johnson suggested the Committee forward
correspondence in this regard to Mayor and Council at the next
Council meeting to ask for their endorsement, and that a copy
be forwarded to the local MPP.
