Ron Watkin:
The development of the Horseshoe Valley
area has developed in several different
phases. The lower area being the resort
and one plan of subdivision. The upper
area is being developed with four separate
plans. Phase I, the residential
development is currently being developed,
Phase II, is ready for development. The
By-Laws before us tonight will be dealing
with two additional phases, being Phase IV
A, and Phase IV B.
The affect of the By-Law will be to change
the zoning in both phases from Rural (RU)
Zone to General Residential (RG) Zone.
Each phase will be dealt with in a separat
by-law, also identified in separate
schedules, which I have before you tonight
This amendment implements the existing
Official Plan policies which are in place
for this area.
John Hare:
Horseshoe Valley is getting bigger all the
time; has the Township ever thought of
going to a proper sewage system rather tha
septic?
Ron Watkin:
The issue of an overall sewage system in
the Horseshoe Valley area has been
discussed and is ongoing in terms of
discussion purposes. At the present time
there are some portions of the Horseshoe
Valley Development which are in fact going
to a communal septic system. In terms of
an overall sanitary sewage system, it is
being looked at, at the present time by
Horseshoe Developments.
John Hare:
Because of the Time Share, Inn On The Park
I know their all on communal systems but I
think in the near future they possibly
should think of going to a sewage system.
Stan Attenborough:
I own property on the bottom right of the
map there. I have a tower on my property
which is commercially zoned. I really do
not want to become legal non-conforming;
is that the way I am going to be?
Ron Watkin:
No,the zoning puts you into the Ml
catagory, so you stay as you are, you are
not being affected.
The Reeve after inquiring and ascertaining that there 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 of the proposed
By-Law, they should leave their name and address with the Clerk.
