Part Lots. 19 and 20, Concession 2
(former Township of Orillia)
Mr. Oswald Piil, his daughter Rita Piil and Peter Smith of
M. M. Dillon made up this delegation with Mr. Smith outlining
the proposal for a subdivision of 62, 3/4 acre lots with a
boat ramp on the road allowance at the lst Concession, a
trailer parking area in part of the park at the west end of
the subdivision, and a commercial block on the corner of the
1st line and Woodland Drive.

Mark Stagg gave the Committee an explanation of the problem of
the former Orillia Township Official Plan Map which shows this
area to be part of the Urban Fringe Area, when in fact Mr.
Piil was told at the time of the Official Plan review in 1991
that his property was Shoreline Residential. It was decided
that until this issue is cleared up it would be premature to
go to a public meeting.
The Committee requested Mark Stagg to communicate with the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs to identify the quickest and
correct means of remedying the map drafting error. Mr. Piil
and his consultant Mr. Smith were provided with some
preliminary comments respecting servicing and access to assist
their further work on the proposal.
Other Business
Mark Stagg briefly went over the process for the new Official Plan
with some indication for the Committee on the how they would be
able to fit into the process.

(a) 7:05 p.m. P-35/95 Oro Station Project Inc.
Part Lot 26, Concession 6 and Part of
Lots 25 and 26, Concession 7
(former Township of Oro).
Jim Kyle of Alcorn & Associates outlined the proposal for a
cluster condominium lifestyle retirement community including
three types of housing including townhouses, linked housing,
and seniors apartments, a country club with a golf course and
curling rink and restaurant. He outlined the proposal for a
communal septic system with a sewage treatment plant and pond
using the water for irrigating the golf course. Also the
possible hook-up to the existing Harbourwood water system.
-2
There were questions from Committee members regarding the
responsibility for the upkeep of the sewage treatment system,
it was determined that the cost would be covered by the
condominium corporation, garbage pickup, future studies to
determine if this is a significant habitat, setbacks from
ponds to houses, also having the 10th hole run along the back
of the Harbourwood homes, floodplains, and protection for
streams. There was some discussion of how this proposal can
fit in with the new Official Plan.
Moved by Peter Wigham, seconded by Susan Leigh
It is recommended to Council that this application be tabled, not
proceed to a public meeting at this time and not be examined until
the preparation of the new Official Plan has proceeded sufficiently
to allow strategic issues posed by the application to be
rationalized, and that the Oro-Medonte Planner be directed to
ensure that this application be lifted from the table as soon as
the foregoing permits.
Carried.

Group, Mr. Barry Smith, Counsel for the Company, Mr. Allan
Ross Architect and Mr. Paul Miller, Real Estate agent appeared
before the Planning Advisory Committee to explain the proposal
for a manufacturers' retail outlet mall with amusement park to
be developed in four phases.
There were questions from the Committee members regarding
septic system there has not been any room left for it on the
site plan, impact on existing businesses in the area,
employment, entrances and exits off Highway ll and County Road
27, the factory outlet shops at Highway 89 and 400. There was
some discussion about the feasibility of starting out with
Phase 1 by just getting a building permit to square off the
existing Fuda's building with approvals required from the
Simcoe County Health Unit and Ministry of Transportation.
Moved by Don Bell, seconded by Allan Baker
