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

(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.

The Reeve in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance

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.
