They explained that they had several concerns that the Official
Plan may not reflect the findings of the OMB Hearings for OPA39,
specifically that development be confined to the specified Nodes,
and that the Township use the Holding zone when new development
agreements are made to ensure that improvements to the Horseshoe
Valley Road are done before building occurs. They also suggested
that the Bass Lake Kame Moraine should be classified as a
Significant Provincial Moraine. There was also a concern that
Adult Lifestyle Community housing numbers should not be added on to
the numbers already specified for developments.
6. OTSER BUSINESS:
c) Memo from Mark Stagg Re: Home Occupations in New Zoning By-law
Mark went over his memo explaining the types of Home Occupations
that may fit in to each of the different classes and some of the
problems that have occurred in the past with no regulations in
place. There was also some discussion regarding how to handle
situations where several craftspeople get together and sell their
wares from one home.
b) Agricultural Land Use Mapping for Official Plan
Andria explained that Council has decided that they will not do new
Agricultural Land Use Mapping since Medonte had done mapping
recently and the Oro map was fairly accurate, therefore it would
not be worthwhile doing a new map.
Andria explained that Council had spent two days doing a very
extensive study of the first Draft, they had made some changes
along Horseshoe Valley Road and some decisions were still to be
made in the Shanty Bay Settlement Area. She asked members of the
Committee to either call her or write any comments or questions
they may have. A Public Draft will be available July 31 with Open
House meetings for the end of August. It is hoped that the
adoption of the Official Plan will be in December.
d) Meeting Expense Statement - these were handed out to the
members to be submitted at the end of the year.
a) First Draft of New Official Plan
The next meeting will be September l0, 1996.
