Proposed Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment
In Attendance: Lloyd Squire, Applicant, and Bill Fitzgerald, Applicant's Consultant
The Committee discussed this application in relation to the on-going aggregate
management strategy. Ms. Leigh explained that Azimuth had done the
environmental review on this application and their final comments had indicated
that the rehabilitation plan should be amended to include natural re-forestation of
the property upon completion of the aggregate operation to ensure the
maintenance of the proposed core area to the north west of the property.
Recommendation
Moved by Susan Grant, Seconded by Peter Wig ham
"It is recommended to Council that the Official Plan Amendment for Lloyd
Squire, Development Application P-121/01, be drafted to re-designate lands
in Concession 7, East Half of Lot 7 (Oro) from the Rural Designation to the
Mineral Aggregate Resources Designation and be presented to Council for
favorable consideration."

Proposed Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment
In Attendance: Cheryl Shindruk, Applicant's Consultant, John Lackey, Applicant's
Engineer, and Bryan Davidson, Applicant's Agent
Ms. Leigh updated the Committee in regards to the progress of this application
as it related to the technical comments received from R.G. Robinson and Lake
Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
Ms. Shindruk explained that the County application had been submitted and that
a site visit had been conducted with the County to review the proposal. Ms.
Shindruk explained that the one matter which had arisen during the discussions
with the Township Engineering Consultant was the calculations required for the
servicing reports and design. She explained that the Township was requiring a
calculation using 3.5 persons per unit while a standard for most adult lifestyle
communities would be 2.5 persons per unit and she was requesting the
Committee to consider a reduction in this amount. The Committee discussed
this and determined that the current standard appeared to continue to be
appropriate.

Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
P- 139/02
In Attendance: Glen Lucas, Applicant's Consultant
Ms. Leigh explained some of the background regarding this application as it
related to the previous consent applications and the site-specific zoning on the
property.

application and the need for these permissions as indicated in his planning
report.
The Committee required clarification in regard to the site walk and the line now

sanitary facilities in the boathouse and did not believe the need was there for
such a request.

Hillway Equipment Ltd.
Concession 12, Part of Lots 8 and 9, and
Concession 13, Part of Lot 9 (Oro)
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
p- 75/98
In Attendance: No One
Ms. Leigh reviewed her report with the Committee and the members of the public
in the audience. She explained the various requirements outlined in the Official
Plan and explained the work that had been completed on each of these
considerations. Ms. Leigh explained that the proposed haul route on Line 12
North through the Settlement Area of Rugby was a consideration that could not
be satisfied in accordance with the Official Plan policy requirements and
therefore the request for a zoning by-law amendment must be denied.
Recommendation
Moved by Peter Wigham, Seconded by Susan Grant
.
"It is recommended to Council that Development Application P-75/98, a
proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for Concession 13, Part of Lot 9, and
Concession 12, Part of Lots 8 and 9 (Oro) (Hillway Equipment Ltd.) be
denied as the application does not conform with the policies of the Official
Plans for the County and Township and does not represent good planning
due to the social impact of the proposed haul route on the existing
residents in the Rural Settlement Area of Rugby."
Carried.
8:00 p.m.
Horseshoe/Salvil (Oro) Limited
Concession 4, Plan M-447, Lot 18 (Oro)
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
P- 140/02
In Attendance: No One
Ms. Leigh explained that in 1988 when this plan of subdivision was being zoned
Lot 18 had been in part zone residential. In 1997 when the new Zoning By-law
was completed for Oro-Medonte Lot 18 was inadvertently rezoned to the Private
Recreational zone and no longer permits a single detached dwelling to be built
on the lot. She explained the proposed rezoning would correct this situation.
Recommendation
Moved by Bob Barlow, Seconded by Peter Wigham
.
"It is recommended to Council that Development Application P-140/02, a
proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for Concession 4, Plan M-448, Lot 18
(Oro) (Horseshoe/Salvi I (Oro) Ltd) proceed to a Public Meeting in
accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act."
