Reeve Robert E. Drury chaired the meeting.
Reeve Robert E. Drury opened the meeting by explaining to
those present that the purpose of the Public Meeting was
to present a proposed zoning by-law amendment that would
change the zoning on Part Lot 20, Concession 3, from
Inherent Hazard land to Highway Commercial.
Notice of the public meeting was mailed out on April 21, 1989
to all property owners within 400 feet of the subject lands.
Notice of the public meeting was also advertised in both
the Barrie Examiner and Orillia Packet and Times on
April 25, 1989.
The Reeve then asked the Deputy-Clerk if there had been
any correspondence received on this matter. The Deputy-
Clerk responded by indicating that there had been no
correspondence received.
The Reeve then stated that all persons present would be
afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect
to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. Reeve Robert
Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township Planner
Ms. Beverly Nicolson to explain the purpose and effect
of the amendment.
The Reeve then asked those present if they had any questions
or comments with regards to this proposal.
Don Hanney:
Is this property commercial in the
Official Plan?
Bev Nicolson:
It is in the official plan as this
portion only being commercial.
Don Hanney:
Are we taking any particular steps to
prevent any further encroachment on to
Willow Creek and the watershed that there
is there?
Bev Nicolson:
The site plan and zoning by-law has been
circulated to various agencies in order
to get their feedback. The existing
parcel that was developed before is what
this would be limited to. It will not
go beyond what the old boundaries were.
..f;~.

Don Hanney:
You said you had circulated letters to
these agencies and that you had not
received any reply. I suppose this
could be taken that they were not against
it or the mail is slow.
Stephen Woodrow:
In the past I have asked the question that
in the case of industrial and commercial
sites not being used, to take away
the zoning. I was told this had not
been done but now there is one before us
now which had been zoned commercial and
taken away. Is this an irregularity?
Bev Nicolson:
I would suspect this property was rezoned
for a reason - being that it was a gas
station before and it is surrounded by
an environmental area and there were
concerns that it be developed appropriately
in the future. The only means in doing that
is the process which is now being taken.
Stephen Woodrow:
Is that fair to the owner of this particular
property? Shouldn't all industrial and
commercial property be treated equally?
Bev Nicolson:
I am not sure exactly when this use ceased
or what the process was at that time.
There were not any site plan control
provisions then as there are today, which
enables us to make sure it is developed
properly within its boundaries.
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 Deputy-Clerk.
.... Motion No.1
Moved by Crawford, seconded by Caldwell
Be it resolved that we do now adjourn @ 7:45 p.m.
Carried.
