Nowhere in your very informative post do ...Evelyn,<br /><br />Nowhere in your very informative post do you mention that the entire purchase price was paid from the Cash in Lieu of Parkland Reserve Fund. As in, it came from local area residents by way of the purchase of their homes, in the range of thousands of dollars each, sometimes more than $10,000 per home. It is disingenuous for you ignore that little piece of information. It is also the cheapest dollar per acre in all of Aurora and the developer sold the homes to everyone in the neighbourhood on the premise it was to be a school or park. Even if no one on staff knew of the clause, the developer surely did. Additionally, it seems like pretty standard contractual language. Finally, "discreet" conversations at dinner parties are not enough to have a developer walk away from millions in profit. The bottom line is the developer knew it did not have a legal leg to stand on.<br /><br />This is a great piece of land at a terrific price, paid for from the Cash IN LIEU OF PARKLAND reserve fund. Seems like a park or some kind of recreational space makes sense. <br /><br />If someone gave you a million dollars or a million dollar home this year by way of an inheritance or a lottery win, would you turn it down because you didn't plan for it? Didn't think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
