Ms. Leigh explained the proposed application for an Official Plan amendment

property. Currently the applicant's have a license to take water from the property
• and are shipping water to other facilities in other jurisdictions. Ms. Leigh
explained that Section F2.3.2 of the Official Plan established the basis for
permitting an Official Plan amendment and the required studies to be completed
prior to Council considering such a request. The studies required had been
completed and had been sent by the Township for peer review by independent
consultants. To date the environmental comments had been received but not
the traffic study comments.
Mr. Bell reviewed the proposed site plan with the Committee and discussed the
results of the studies completed to date. He explained that the area would be
subject to site plan control in order to implement some of the recommendations
in the studies.
The Committee determined that sufficient information through the studies was
available to proceed to a Public Meeting in accordance with the Planning Act.
