Maguire Reeve Drury opened the meeting by explaining to those present that the purpose of the public meeting was to introduce a proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment under Sections 2l and 34 of the Planning Act. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment would permit the relocation of the existing trailer park and camp ground of the Ukranian National Federation on Part of Lot 24, Concession II: by changing the present zoning from "Natural Area" to the "Recreational" designation. Notice of the public meeting was placed in the Barrie Examiner and the Orillia Packets & Times on December 23, 1987 and mailed to the assessed property owners within l20 metres of the affected area, in accordance with the Ontario Regulations. In addition, notices were sent to agencies considered to have an interest in the matter. All persons present will be afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed Official Plan and Re-zoning Amendments. Reeve Drury then turned the meeting over to the Township Planner Ms. Holly Spacek, who explained the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments. The Reeve then asked the Clerk if there had been any corre received on this matter: the Clerk responded that there had no correspondence received. The Reeve then asked those present if they had any questions or concerns with regard to the proposals. Mr. Gracey: What are they proposing to do with the land and will there be a Site Plan with a buffer? 8 Ms. Spacek: The land where the trailers are now will be used as open space. There will be a Site prepared with the Agreement and issues such as buffering will be addressed at that time. Mr. Maguire: will there be anything on the existing campground? Mr. O'Kurily: No, it will just be left open space and acce s to the beach. Mr. Gracey: Drainage has always been a problem there large trench drained into Lake Simcoe which believe is onto the Promenade. This trench they opened up is in Lhe Promenade area. Mr. O'Kurily: Mr. Gracey: Ms. Spacek: 8 Mr. Gracey: Reeve Drury: Mr. Maguire: Mr. O'Kurily: Mr. Maguire: Ms. Spacek: Reeve Drury: Cou. Caldwell: Ms. Spacek: Mr. O'Kurily: Ms. Spacek: 8 Mr. Maguire: Mr. Watkin: Mr. Gracey: - 2 - The trench was built not to drain the area as a whole but rather when we dug the well, we hit a spring and there is about 4 inches of flow going day and night so the trench was built to allow this water to flow into Lake Simcoe. The promenade is meant for people to walk across and the Township could open the road past there and almost to the point could they not? The promenade is definitely Township property and I do not know if they approached Council or not to get permission to put the trench across. When the trailers originally went in, no one was ever approached and we have put up with this for ten years and there should have definitely been a buffer and there has always been a drainage problem. We'll have our Road Superintendent go down and look at the drainage problem there and make a recommendation to us. Will access to this new proposal be anywhere other than through the Ukranian Federation? You have to understand that it is not an actual public trailer camp, it is mostly for members only. At this time there are 26 trailers and what you are doing is actually doubling it to 54. I I I Yes, that is correct. I Is there any comments from our Council MembeJ, or our new Planner? I Where is the western boundary of the Ukranian i property and where does this campground end II in relation to that? How much of a buffer is there to the property to the west? III. [, I believe it is not to the edge of the propert~ but Mr. O'Kurily may be able to answer this i better. I There is bush and a fence through there and II I am not sure whether we own that other side nþw. II II II II The schedule shows the changes taking place, it shows the existing development and the waterfront. My earlier question about access, I didn't mean public access but roadway access as I see the campground is located straight along Kennedy road and I wondered if there are any plans to make a roadway connection? It's been discussed but you must remember that by having this public meeting, Council have not made any decision with respect to thi at all. There is some concern in relation to to the roads. I own lot 63 and the Township owns past me and they did talk about extending that at one time to the point. Do you know if you do own past lot 63? - 3 - Reeve Drury: I'm not sure, we'll have to check our files and see. D.R. Halfacre: Mr. O'Kurily, do you contemplate any other expansions after this? Mr. O'Kurily: I don't know. My house backs onto the Ukranian Camp. Mr. Gracey: That's why a buffer should be there back about 100 feet for noise and smell. I have camped at Government campgrounds and after 11:00 p.m. there is no noise but in this case where there is yelling all night long, this is what I object to. The camp has never had proper supervision and the noise level is too great. I would just like to make it a good neighbour policy with fences buffers, etc. 8 Mr. Watkin: We feel it is mandatory that the Site Plan be done because the trailers are being relocated to a specific area. Mr. Gracey: You are doing it right this time but you certainly didn't do it right the first time Reeve Drury: Would you put your concerns in writing to u please? Ron Watkin: What year would this have been started Mr. O'Kurily? Mr. O'Kurily: I'm not sure it started out with just tents and then trailers were brought in. D.R. Halfacre: How far away will the tile bed be? Ms. Spacek: The measurements are just preliminary but the Health Unit will say exactly where the tile bed should go. , I The thing is many of us moved in here in 1941~ and if you are going to move in beside Maltor airport you would be prepared ~o put up wit~1 the noise, but when you're theI'ef irst, this ¡, is why I'm objecting a little because we IOS~ a great deal of our privacy and I haven't us d my cottage now that much but the taxes keep I going up. II Your constructive criticism will help us ill to form a Site Plan Agreement. Is there anyl further questions concerning this proposed [II amendment. If not, Council wishes to thank i all those in attendance for your participati'n and we will consider all the matters before reaching a decision. If anyone wishes to be notified of the passing of the proposed amendments, would you please leave your name and address with the Clerk. Mr. Gracey: Reeve Drury: 8 Motion No. 1 Moved by Swerdon, seconded by Burton Be it resolved that Council now Meeting at 7:37 p.m. ReefJ¿t r [)f;~ adjourn this Special Public Carried.
