BURLINGTON, ON
The Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) will begin hearing the application from Nelson Aggregates to allow the requested expansion of the site on Monday.
Some background on this situation.
According the Nelson Aggregate people everyone other than the City of Burlington has signed off on the application to expand the area that will be quarried.
Nelson Aggregates and Conservation Halton (CH) have an agreement in place that has CH taking control of the property once the OLT has agreed that the request for an expansion has been approved.
Nothing happens until the OLT makes a decision.
That the issue is now before the OLT is unfortunate. Nelson Aggregate argues that the City was dragging its feet and not meeting the schedule that was put in place to have a Joint Tribunal review in place.
The graphic below shows just how long and cumbersome that process was.
Full disclosure: Consultants to Nelson Aggregates advertise in the Burlington Gazette.
Is there any wonder that this process failed?
