PLEASE
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Town of Arnprior passed By-law
#5394-05, being a By-law for the imposition of Development Charges, on
the 28th day of November, 2005, pursuant to the Development
Charges Act, 1997.
PURPOSE
AND EFFECT: This Development Charge By-law has been passed to
ensure that the capital cost of meeting growth-related demands for, or
burdens on, municipal services does not place an excessive financial
burden on the Town of Arnprior or its existing taxpayers, while at the
same time ensuring new taxpayers contribute no more than the net
capital cost attributable to providing the current level of municipal
services. The Development
Charges Act, 1997, provides that the Council of the Town may
impose development charges against land to pay for increased capital
costs required because of increased need for services. The By-law
applies to all land within the Town of
Arnprior
.
AND
FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that any person or organization may appeal
this Development Charge By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board, under
section 14 of the Act, by
filing with the Clerk of the Town of Arnprior on or before
January 9th, 2006, a notice of appeal setting out
the objection to the by-law and the reasons supporting the objection.
