The Reeve then stated that those persons present would be afforded
the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed
Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments.
Reeve Robert E. Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township'
Planning Consultant's Assistant, Mr. Richard Vandezande, to explai
the purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-
Law Amendment.
Mr. Richard Vandezande:
The proposed development that would
take place is located at the south-
east corner of County Road 11 and the
9th Line. We are looking at a
redesignation from the Agricultural
designation to the Country Residentia
designation and the Zoning By-Law
would be amended also from the
Agricultural Zone to a Zone that woul
implement the Country Residential
designation.
Basically what we are looking at is a
proposal that incorporates thirty-one
lots. The development would be on
individual wells and individual
septics. The topography of the land
is basically sloping towards the
south-east. The lands are mostly
covered with coniferous forest. The
proposed accesses to the subdivision
would be from County Road 11 and the
9th Line and the pattern would be a
cul-de-sac at the top of the ridge in
a circular sort of pattern on the
lands.
Mr. John Hawke:
There is a number of blocks proposed;
the block near County Road 11 is a
block provided for fire protection,
there is a proposed tank that would
allow the fire fighters to access
water for this development as well as
any other development in the near
proximity. We also have a block here
that is part of the five percent land
dedication as required under the
Planning Act; and a block for storm
water detention purposes.
I do not have a question, but I am
here to support the plan. As far as
this particular plan is concerned, I
heard the comment being passed that w
have to protect our good farmland in
Oro Township so I went down and walke
the forty four acres and I think that

Mr. John Hawke:

would have to agree that it is
secondary land as far as farmland is
concerned.
Mr. Dale Plant:

would be diagonally across from this

The Reeve, after enquiring and ascertaining that there were no
questions from those present, thanked those in attendance for their
participation and advised Council would consider all matters before
reaching a decision. He then advised those present if they wished
to be notified of the passing of the proposed By-Law, they should
leave their name and address with the Clerk.
