NEW APPLICATION FOR LAND TITLE BY DUNPAR

The OMB hearing was adjourned until next week, June 14th, so that Dunpar could verify with the Land Registry Office that it actually owns the property it wants to build on.  There was an investigation by the province, which is an adjacent landowner, and it indicated that a shoreline strip is actually crown land and belongs to the public.  The crown's claim is for a 25 feet strip measured from the bottom of the shoreline slope.  (The community has long argued that the public section of this property is substantially larger than this investigation could apparently prove.)  Dunpar has agreed to that finding and has produced a new survey to reflect that (survey on left - MNR shoreline strip marked "FILL")

On  June 3rd, 2010, the developer applied to the Land Registry Office for absolute title to the remainder of the property that does not include the public land.  Dunpar has not asked the province to sell them the publicly owned shoreline to this date.

Adjacent landowners, the 7 community members and groups who "have shown interest" and already objected to Dunpar's application for absolute title to the whole property and, according to the Etobicoke Guardian notice on Friday, any other "person/corporation having an interest", has until July 5th to file any objections.  The Guardian notice makes no mention of any requirement for an affidavit to accompany any objection
