Reeve Robert E. Drury opened the meeting by explaining to those present that this Public Meeting has been called pursuant to Section 17 (2) of the Planning Act, to obtain public comments respect to a proposed amendment to the Official Plan. To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro not made a decision on this application, other than proceeding to a Public Meeting. Only after comments are received from the Public, Township Staff and requested Agencies within an appropriate time period, will Council make a decision on this application. Notice of the Public Meeting was mailed out on February 7, 1990, to all provincial and local agencies and property owners within 400 feet of Plan M-20. Notice of the Public Meeting was also placed in both the Barrie Examiner and Orillia Packet and Times February 8, 1990. The Reeve then asked the Clerk if there had been any correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by indicating that no correspondence had been received. The Reeve then stated that those persons present would be the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed Official Plan Amendment. Reeve Robert E. Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township's Planning Consultant, Mr. Ron Watkin of Ainley and Associates, who explained the purpose and effect of the proposed Official Plan Amendment. Ron Watkin: We have two individual items. The first item is to allow for the municipality to impose Site Plan Control on two specific areas and those areas relate to any that takes place in the Township of Oro could be by exception. In otherwords, any type of a zone that you have, whereby, the specifics of that development, imply or resulting to an exception to that zone. - 2 - Ron Watkin cont'd Where there is a place that you would have zoning, ie. RG-l Zone, OS-l Zone, or an exception or a difference as to what the normal standards of that zone apply; they would be or could be made subject to Site Plan Control. The Amendment to the Official Plan, only establishes that the municipality may Site Plan Control, which still has to be done by By-Law. The second part of the Site Plan Control issue is multiple residential uses, in otherwords if a townhouse or apartment development, if in fact those could be approved, they would also be subject to Plan Control. Site Plan Control means that if Site Plan Control is imposed on a property, then they must do what is called a Site Plan which is a layout of where the buildings are, what buffer could be provided, where the parking is, etc. It is really a picture from the air of what is going to occur on the land. The second part of the Amendment deals with the lands on Plan M-20, which is in the Village of Hawkestone. Those lands in the past required as a Registered Plan of Subdivision, had a number of lots and the Ministry of the Environment and Health unit at the time that the plan went through, required that, for an example, Lots 1 and 2 must be in one ownership and Lot 1 could be built on but Lot 2 must be retained for Septic purposes. In the recent past, an amendment was put into place in the Plan which required, that to take place. In the past year or so, we have had an indication from the Health Unit that they are allowing for a second dwelling to be built on Lot 2, and therefore, the policy that we had within the Official Plan that was imposed on the Council, by the Health Unit, really is redundant and therefore we are deleting that and leaving it to the Health Unit to make sure that the Health aspects are done. I I t I I I I I I I I I I II :1 Reeve Robert E. Drury, then asked those present if they had any questions with regards to the proposal. Paul Kitchen: Regarding the Site Plan Control Agreement, understand that we will have to get into a Site Plan Agreement with the Township, regarding the Lakewood Tennis Club; after this is past? Is that correct? Ron Watkin: You will have to be into whatever type of Site Plan Agreement will be required, Yes. Paul Kitchen: Will there be any other conditional requirements required, regarding zoning changes or anythingelse with the property, or will that be all? Ron Watkin: If you are in an Exception Zone, you would have to have that zone in place. '. - 3 - Paul Kitchen: So we will have to go through another meeting here on the zoning? Ron Watkin: Yes, you have to have the zoning exception in place and a Site Plan Agreement at the same time. Beverly Nicolson: Perhaps I could respond to that Mr. I believe Lakewood Tennis Club proposal to a Public Meeting already, so it is not likely to be a further requirement, unless there is some concerns expressed. Paul Kitchen: What will happen from here? Will we have wait for Ministry approval on this, or are we in a position to present the agreement? Ron Watkin: The agreement can be prepared and worked on but you have to have the approval of the amendment to proceed. Paul Kitchen: So we will deal directly with Council on Site Plan Agreement? We will present a and I presume you will draft the agreement? Ron Watkin: Yes. Reeve Robert E. Drury, after inquiring and ascertaining that were no further questions from those present, thanked those in attendance for their participation and advised Council would consider all matters before reaching a decision. He also advised those present that if they wished to be notified of the passing the proposed by-law, they should leave their name and address the Clerk. MOTION NO.1 Moved by Caldwell, seconded by Crawford Be it resolved that the Special Public Meeting of Council (O.P.A. #44) now be adjourned @ 7:12 a.m. Carried. ¡(l¡L, (Ð~ c~k.
