provided concerns/comments regarding traffic, speed limits, school roads are on
sideroads vs. a County Road and health & safety concerns.

the water went through a series of pumping stations, water shortages (there are deep
wells in their area) and requested consideration of what Oro-Medonte is now and what it
should be in the future e.g., is nice to have Burl's Creek and Horseshoe Valley in the
community but feels this application is not appropriate.

concerns about the density of the application and the potential water supply, damage to
