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. ....
