and seniors apartments, a country club with a golf course and

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.

site plan, impact on existing businesses in the area,
employment, entrances and exits off Highway 11 and County Road
27, the factory outlet shops at Highway 84 and 400. There was
