They will work with the region to develop a proposal, but ultimately will agree to the proposal, and won't ever be in a position to go to the LPAT to request more.
"The Breithaupt neighbourhood" as in the Mount Hope Breithaupt Park Neighbourhood Association (or a splinter group, with or without association status)? Did this happen often with the OMB?
There is a big- and vocal- contingent of anti-development types in the neighbourhood for sure. But can they go to the LPAT? And how could they claim to speak for the neighbourhood? Obviously the majority of neighbours won't care one way or the other, others will be excited about the development generally, and some might even for some reason be really supportive of whatever proposal is put forward specifically. How could the MHBPNA (or another group) bring a claim on behalf of "Mount Hope"?
