Residential (R3), Rural Exception (RU- ) and Low Environmental Sensitivity (ES2)
to permit the creation of two residential lots by severance.
The Clerk advised notice had been given in accordance with the regulations of

Barb Marshall then presented Council with a Planning report, outlining the
proposed severance with regard to the Township Official Plan and with a proposed
rezoning By-law.
Reeve Beard opened the floor for questions.
Councillor Martin asked about entrance to the Highway. Mr. Van Andel responded
that the lots were past the entrance to the Mt St. Louis Road and that the
Ministry of Transportation had approved of the lots for entrance.
Councillor Martin asked if the lots would require fill. Mr. Van Andel responded
that the lots were level with the highway and would not require fill.
Councillor Dickie asked if Mr. Van Andel was still proceeding with his
Commercial proposal. Mr. Van Andel replied he was but all the studies had not
been carpleted and the size of the lot was unknown.
Mr. Van Andel outlined his proposal explaining that the lots are for his
children, that the lands are not of any use agriculturally, that the severances
were approved by the Health Unit and the Ministry of Transportation and that the
lands in question were good only for development. Mrs. Van Andel expressed the
same opinions.
Mrs. Brown advised that they had stated their objection in writing and requested
Council take the advise of their Planner that the severances do not carply with
the Official Plan. She questioned that the lots were level with the highway and
asked why the Ministry of Transportation was not requesting road widening for a
Turn Lane.
Reeve Beard advised that Council also have concerns about Highway 12 in this
area and have contacted the Province for a turn lane. He advised that Council
will take a second look at this proposal.
Mr. Van Andel asked if the size of the lots could be reduced. Council advised
they could not change the size of lot as approved by the Corrmittee of Adjustment.
