Beverly Nicolson:
This is a Special Public Meeting for an
Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-
Law Amendment on the subject lands. The
lands are described as the North Part of
Lot 21, Concession 3.
The proposal is to change the land from
an Agricultural Designation to
Industrial and from an Agricultural Zone
to an Industrial Zoning. The lands were
included in Official Plan Amendment No.
37, which designated several parcels of
land along the Highway for Industrial
purposes. That Amendment has been held
up and the applicant Mr. Tonge has
decided to undertake this as a separate
amendment.
There was concern expressed by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food with
regard to several parcels in Official
Plan Amendment No. 37, but this was not
one of them.
Mr. Tonge has also spoken with agencies
such as the Health Unit and what
concerns they might have.
The proposed use on the property would
be an expansion to the existing
accessory building for manufacturing
purposes which would be for the
production of dog sleds and snow shoes
and things such as that with a retail
store which would market some of those
products.

The lands would be subject to, after
this meeting which would provide Council
with some comments on the Official Plan
Amendment and Zoning By-Law, a By-Law
maybe passed depending on what happens
tonight and the kind of concerns and the
comment of Council.
Subsequently to an Official Plan
Amendment going down to the Ministry, a
Zoning By-Law would still have to be
passed and this property would be
subject to Site Plan Control.
The Deputy Reeve, after inquiring 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 that if they wished to be notified of the passing of the
proposed By-Law, they should leave their name and address with
the Clerk.
MOTION NO. I
Moved by Crawford, seconded by Johnson
Be it resolved that the Special Public Meeting of
Council, (Tonge, North Part Lot 21, Concession 3)
now be adjourned @ 7:10 p.m.
Carried.
