The Town is undertaking a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to assess alternatives for the road system and the provision of water and wastewater servicing in the area of Hidden Lake Road and the Alta development lands and along Highway 26.
Options will be assessed for extending the water distribution system to Phase 2 of the Alta development and to improve the existing water distribution system to provide adequate fire protection to existing homes in the area of Hidden Lake Road and the Alta subdivision. This Study will also update the previous Class EA (2005) assessment of sanitary servicing concepts for the Alta Phase 2 subdivision, and existing homes along Highway 26 from Delphi Point to just west of Fraser Crescent.
Why Now?
Before construction on Phase 2 of the Alta Subdivision begins, the Town is evaluating opportunities to provide needed improvements to Hidden Lake Road and evaluate options for the establishment of a future road.
Project Updates
January 17, 2023
The Ontario Land Tribunal issued their decision and associated Order regarding the Alta Phase II (Tabera) Development Project in late December 2022. This order requires Grey County to administer the final approval of the draft plan of subdivision. In addition to this, the Town’s zoning by-law will also be amended.
There are a number of outstanding questions regarding the engineering and design of the Alta Phase II development that still need to be addressed to the satisfaction of the Town. The answers to these questions are likely to affect the outcome and preferred alternative for the Hidden Lake Road Class Environmental Assessment. Therefore, this project will be paused until these questions are answered.
