(Verbal Update by Planning Consultant Only)
In Attendance: Ron Mills, Planning Consultant for Applicant
• Mr. Mills provided a brief update on the status of the application indicating
• that five background technical studies had been completed and provided to the
Township for review. He indicated that he had received preliminary peer review
comments from Azimuth Environmental and R.G. Robinson; however that a site
plan had not been provided for the final comments to be made on the peer

Concession 13, Part of Lots 1 and 2 (Oro)
Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning
In Attendance: Robert Spears, Applicant, and Ron Mills, Planning
Consultant for the Applicant
Ms. Leigh provided a brief overview of the history of the application with respect
to the three consent applications which had been previously granted
conditionally by the Committee of Adjustment and had been appealed by the
applicant on one of the conditions. She explained that the intent of the Official
Plan policies was to prohibit additional "back lot" development and therefore the
area was inappropriately designated.
• Mr. Mills provided additional information on behalf of the applicant in regards to
his intent with the purchase of the property to create nine residential lots even
though there was additional land designated. He indicated that the applicant had
agreed to only request two additional lots and would redesignate the remainder
of the lands if these two lots were approved.
There was discussion by the Committee in regards to the policies of the Official
Plan and their concern about the impact of this application and the non-
conformity with the intent of the Official Plan policies.
Moved by Susan Grant, seconded by Councillor Ruth Fountain
"It is recommended that Development Application P-97/99 a
proposed Official Plan Amendment not proceed as proposed by the
applicant. It is recommended that the application proceed to a
Public Meeting in accordance with the Planning Act for the rezoning
of the three residential lots conditionally granted by consent and for
the redesignation of the remainder of the Shoreline designated
lands."
• ...carried.

7:40 p.m. Joseph and Ana Stanesic P-96/99
Concession 4, Part of Lot 6 (Oro)
Proposed Official Plan Amendment
In Attendance: Joseph and Ana Stanesic and son, Applicants
Ms. Leigh provided an update of this application indicating that the applicant had
provided a second proposal for the Committee to consider in a letter dated
December 21, 1999. The second proposal would be for two rural residential lots
along the Bass Lake Side Road each being 1 acre in size and the remaining 28
acres would be utilized for seasonal trailer use. Ms. Leigh indicated that the
second proposal does not conform with the intent of the Official Plan policies and
that additional justification would have been required to consider such an
application for the seasonal trailers. The two proposed residential lots would
also not comply with the policies for development by consent in the Rural
designation.
Mr. Stanesic provided additional background information to the Committee
indicating that he had appealed the Official Plan Amendment #5 (Edgar
Occupational Centre) because it was allowing development on a neighbouring
. property but would not allow development on his property. He indicated that all
services would be available to the site and that he had people asking him to be
able to build homes on the property. He indicated that there were no additional
lots in Horseshoe Valley and there was a demand for additional homes in the
area.
The Committee clarified that in fact the applicant was talking about servicing the
property by either by communal well or would look to extend the Horseshoe
Valley water system. It was further determined that the applicant was indicating
that the gas pipeline from the Horse Valley area would be extended to service
these lots.
Moved by Paul Marshall, seconded by Susan Grant
"It is recommended that Development Application P-96199 a
proposed Official Plan Amendment be denied as it does not conform
with the relevant policies."
..Carried.
