3 4 CHAIRMAN: Good morning, Ms. Dillon. 5 6 - The Tribunal of ...

20
11:05:23
1 as to why you formed the view that those lands outlined in red which belong to
2 Monarch Properties, were to be zoned at four houses to the acre and the balance
3 of the residentially zoned lands at one house to the acre?
4 A. Well all I can say is that the people of the area. There was a compromise
11:05:41
5 being reached in order to reflect the interests of the people of the area.
6 And therefore, that perhaps there should be a compromise of four in one area
7 and one in the other area. Other than that, I thought to satisfy everybody
8 that this was a good solution.

11:05:57
10 CHAIRMAN: But, Ms. Ormonde. Why not just draw a straight line then at some
11 point or?
12 A. I wouldn't have gone into that detail.
13
14 CHAIRMAN: Because here, what's happening here is that somebody has gone to
11:06:11
15 the trouble of simply in -- simply following the boundary of the Monarch lands.
16 A. Yeah.
17
18 CHAIRMAN: And hiving them off, giving them a higher density. Which had very
19 obvious knock on effects in terms of their value.
11:06:28
20 A. Yes.
21
22 CHAIRMAN: Which would suggest that somebody went to the trouble of doing
23 that.
24 A. Yes.
11:06:35
25
26 CHAIRMAN: Whereas if, as you suggest, your thinking was possibly that you
27 simply wanted to have part of the area at a lower density, then one would
28 expect unless one was following the dictates of the owner of the land, one
29 would expect a line to be drawn somewhere, which might or might not include all
11:07:02
30 or a portion of the Monarch lands.
