Dear editor:

The town’s revised official plan deleted “Secondary plans will be developed for all or a portion of Old Town and Virgil, including Chautauqua…” The revised official plan just states that Chautauqua ”will be considered” for a secondary plan (“Chautauqua neighbourhood group accuses town of dropping key planning promise,” July 31).

How can the lord mayor state that there is a “misunderstanding” by the Chautauqua Residents Association and that the Chautauqua Residents Association “misstates” the town’s direction when it quoted from the town’s redlined draft document?

The lord mayor is also quoted in your article as saying that the town still intends to make a secondary plan for Chautauqua. Then why did the town remove its commitment in the new plan?

The Chautauqua Residents Association just asked why the change was made and restated its support for a long-agreed-upon secondary plan.

The town asked for input on the revised official plan and as a respondent, the Chautauqua Residents Association (in my opinion) gets unfairly criticized.
