The Reeve then stated that those persons present would be afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment. Reeve Robert E. Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township Planner, Ms. Beverly Nicolson to explain the purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment. Beverly Nicolson: This Public Meeting is being held with respect to a proposed rezoning. The land is described as Part of Lot 11, Concession 13. The lands are currently in the name of Earl and Mary Robertson. The purpose of the rezoning is to amend the current Agricultural Zoning designation to General Residential on three (3) lots which have been created by consent by Committee of Adjustment. The severances have been granted within the Hamlet area. As a condition of granting , ¡ II II ~ - 2 - Beverly Nicolson (cont'd) consent, the Committee of Adjustment has required that the applicant apply for and receive a rezoning. The Official Plan designation on the lands is Hamlet. This designation allows and encourages Resident Development. The policy further allows three lots to be created by consent where the effect of their creation is minimal and with Health Unit approval. In no way do the policies intend to allow an unlimited number of severances. The effect of this rezoning would be to meet a condition of consent of the Committee of Adjustment and to allow Residential Development on the three parcels of land. 1 At the conclusion of Ms. Nicolsonls presentation, those present were asked if they had any questions or concerns with respect to the proposal. There were no questions from those present. The Reeve in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their participation and advised that 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. MOTION NO. I Moved by Johnson, seconded by Burton Be it resolved that the Special Public Meeting of Council (Robertson) now be adjourned @ 7:22 p.m. Carried. ~#' ReÆrt r ~ g 2{;£ff- C erR Robert. Smal \ "~Y:: #
