P ART A - THE PREAMBLE
1.0 Purpose of the Amendment
The purpose of this Amendment is to re-designate a parcel of land from "Medium
Density Residential" to "Low Density Residential" and "Recreational" to permit an
Estate Residential plan of subdivision more appropriate to the topography of the lands.
2.0 Location of Lands Affected
This Amendment applies to lands in Part of Lots 1 and 2, Concession 4, (formerly in the
Township ofOro), now in the Township ofOro-Medonte.
3.0 Basis of the Amendment
This amendment has been brought forward by the owner of the subject lands to re-
designate a parcel of land from the "Medium Density Residential" designation to the
"Low Density Residential" and "Recreational" designations. The primary reason for this
"down designation" is to reflect the topography, steep slopes, and wooded nature of the
property, which would not be compatible with medium density development. A portion
of the property is also being addition through a boundary adjustment to the existing golf
course and would therefore need to be re-designated to the Recreational designation.
.

ofthe Township of Oro-Medonte.

P-110/00
Proposal
The subject property is located in Concession 4, Pt of Lots 1 and 2 and has
access to Highland Drive and Valley Crest Drive. The property is atotalof 31.4
acres in size and is irregular in shape. The applicant's have applied for an
Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment and a Draft Plan of Subdivision for
13 estate residential lots.
Official Plan Currently - Horseshoe Valley Medium Density Residential
Proposed - Horseshoe Valley Low Density Residential
Zoning By-law
Currently - Agricultural/Rural Exception (AIRU*15) Zone
Proposed- Site Specific Residential One (R1*) Zone
Department Head Comments

Planning Department Comments
The applicant's have applied for an Official plan and Zoning By-law Amendment
and a Draft Plan of Subdivision on the above noted property for 13 estate
residential lots, Currently the property is designated in a Medium Density
Residential designation which would permit townhouses, timeshares, etc. and
the applicant's have applied to re-designate the property to a low densitY
designation to limit the amount of development on the property to single
detached dwellings. The down designation of this property is considered Smora.

appropriate designation given the unique topographyof the property and the
traffic/access issue on Highland Drive.
The proposed Zoning By.law Amendment would be site specific to recognize the
lot frontage and lotarea of the particular lots as identified on the draft plan.
A copy of the proposed draft plan is attached for the Committee' review and is
currently under review by the Township Engineer. The development is proposed
to be serviced by Municipal Water and individual septic systems and additional
information is required regarding the proposal for septic beds.
The proposed Draft Plan indicates a number of long narrow frontages to larger I
shaped lots and potentially the number of these lots should be minimized.
Additional information indicating potential tile bed locations is required to be
reviewed by the Township. There are a number of technical details, which
require additional work prior to a public meeting on the Zoning By-law and Draft
Plan. The practice of the Municipality is to provide all information at one public
meeting rather than addressing the Official Plan Amendment at one meeting and
the other applications subsequently. .
On this basis additional information should be provided to the Township and
reviewed on the septic systems, building envelopes, etc. prior to scheduling of a
public meeting.
Recommendation
It is recommended that Development Application P-11 0/00, a proposed Official
Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision for an estate
residential subdivision not proceed to a public meeting until additional technical
information is received.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE
FROM THE TOWNSHIP PLANNER
REPORT TO COUNCIL
, REPORT NO.:
PREPARED BY: Andria Leigh
PD2001-11
COUNCIL
C. OF W.
DATE: February 21, 2001
MOTION
SUBJECT:
Proposed Official Plan DATE
Amendment #9 (Horseshoe Resort
Proposed Estate Residential Subdivision)
Concession 4, Part of Lot 1 and 2 (Oro)
,
[BACKGROUND
On September 7, 2000, an application was received from Horseshoe Resort Corporation
for an Amendment to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and for a draft plan of
subdivision for 13 estate residential lots. The subject property is 12.7 hectares ,(31.4
acres) and is currently designated Medium Density Residential in the Horseshoe Valley
Special Policy Area of the Official Plan and is zoned Agricu1tural/Rural (A/RU) and .
Site Specific Agricultural/Rural (A/RU*15) in Zoning By-law 97-95. The proposed
Official Plan Amendment would redesignate the property to a Low Density Residential
designation and rezone the property to a Site Specific Residential One zone. The Zoning
By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision will be the subject of future reports
to Council; the purpose of this report is the consideration of the Official Plan
Amendment.
,
I SUMMARY
On December 8, 2000 a Public Meeting was held in accordance with the Planning Act
requirements for the OfficialPlan and Zoning By-law Amendments and for the
proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision. At that time a number of comments were received
from the public and agencies; however these did not relate to the proposed Official Plan
Amendment but rather the Zoning By-law and Draft Plan of Subdivision. These
induded matters such as topography of the property and the steep slopes, appropriate
building setbacks, and the overall layout for the proposed plan of subdivision. These.

comments are currently under review by the Planning Department and the applicant
and will be addressed in the future reports. In all submissions it was indicated that the
proposal to 1/ down designate" the property from the Medium Density Residential
designation to the Low Density Residential designation was appropriate and supported.
..
This amendment can be considered favorably by Council in accordance with the policies
of Section J3 (Amendments to the Plan) as the property is being re-designated to more
accurately reflect the technical constraints of the property and to ensure land use
compatibility with the overall settlement node. VVhi1e the Amendment is site specific in
regards to re-designating one parcel of land; it has been determined through the
technical studies (engineering and environmental) that the previous Meclium Density
Residential designation would not be appropriate and this was not addressed through
the Official Plan update in 1997.
Subsequent to the adoption of the County of Simcoe Official Plan, the approval
authority was delegated from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to the
County. If the amendment is considered favorably by Council, it will be forwarded to
the County of Simcoe for final approval. Once a decision has been received from the
County of Simcoe, this will provided to Council.
I RECOMMENDATION
,
1. That this report be received by Council;
2. That Official Plan Amendment #9 and the appropriate by-law be presente4 to
Council for favorable consideration;
3. That Official Plan Amendment #9 be forwarded to the County of Simcoe for final
approval; and
4. That Council be advised of the County of Simcoe decision.
