Mount Forest developer wants threeyear extension to meet approval conditions

MOUNT FOREST - The developer of a 411-unit residential subdivision in the south end of Mount Forest is asking for additional time to meet the necessary approval conditions. According to a letter from Ian Letford, the CFO of Deer Ridge Heights, coming to council on Monday, a three-year extension is necessary because it's taking longer than anticipated to complete the process for the submission for final approval. The Deer Ridge Heights subdivision's current draft approval is set to expire in October 2023. The draft plan for the 411-unit residential subdivision was previously approved in 2018 and would facilitate 231 single-detached lots, 30 semi-detached lots, 120 street townhouses, two commercial blocks, a park block and a stormwater management block on 32 acres of vacant land located along Highway 6 and bordered by Bentley and South Water Streets. Public Works staff have advised that the engineering design review is nearing completion for the proposed development but that a subdivision agreement has not yet been executed. A zoning by-law amendment was approved for the residential portion of the property in 2022. The proposed commercial blocks will need to be rezoned to permit commercial uses prior to final approval of the subdivision. The report also notes that the developer will be required to enter into an agreement with the MTO to address any widening or improvements necessary for Highway 6 to facilitate access to the development and that the highway construction work will need to be completed prior to occupancy of any of the dwellings in the subdivision.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...
