RE: Zoning By-law Amendment Application (Barry and Susan Leigh) 2009-ZBA-13
Part of Lots 24 825, Concession 7, 290 Ridge Road (County Road 20)
Former Township of Oro, Now in the Township of Oro-Medonte
Thank you for circulating the County of Simcoe. The subject property is designated Agricultural in the
Local Official Plan, and therefore subject to the Agricultural policies of the County Official Plan. The
applicant is requesting, as a condition of consent approval, to re-zone a 6.77 hectare (16.7 acre) parcel
to allow for a specialized agricultural use. County of Simcoe Official Plan policy 3.6.6 states that new
lots for agricultural uses should generally not be less than 35 hectares, 4 hectares on organic soils or,
where local municipal official plans allow, a variant lot size specifically for specialized agricultural uses.
The Township of Oro-Medonte's Official Plan policy C1.3.1 permits the consideration of lot creation for
specialized agricultural use subject to specific criteria, one criteria being that the subject property is
placed in a site-specific zone prohibiting residential use. The prohibition of residential use is imperative
as the County of Simcoe Entrance By-law No.5544, section 2.5.2 states, "New Entrances shall not be
permitted to individual residential lots created on County Roads following June 30, 1996, except in
urban settlement areas designated in Official Plans."
In addition, the County of Simcoe Entrance By-law section 2.2.1.4 requires an Entrance Permit for
changing the use of or classification of an existing Entrance". Therefore the existing field entrance
would need to be upgraded in order to accommodate additional traffic generated by the proposed
change in use.
Furthermore, the existing right-of-way on County Road 20 adjacent to the subject property is
approximately 16.0 metres wide. In accordance with Schedule 5.5 of the Simcoe County Official Plan,
the required basic right-of-way width for County Road 20 is 20.0 metres. County staff has reviewed this
requirement and feel that the full right-of-way width is necessary for future road maintenance, road
improvements and stormwater flow from County Road 20. In order to meet this right-of-way
requirement, the County will require a road widening of approximately 2.0 metres. The comer of Ridge
Road West and Line 6 South also requires a daylight (sight) triangle. The County standard for daylight
(sight) triangle is 15 metres X 15 metres. These dimensions are applied to the limit of the right-of-way.
PLD-003-C01
Therefore the County request the approval of the application be deferred until the following County
requirements (originally asked for as conditions of approval through the consent application process, letter
dated June 17, 2009) are fulfilled:
1. The applicant apply for an entrance permit from the County of Simcoe's Transportation and
Engineering Department;
2. The applicant shall transfer to the Corporation of the County of Simcoe ("County"), at no cost, a
fee simple, unencumbered interest in the following:
A road allowance widening along the entire frontage of the subject property
adjacent to County Road 20 to provide a 10.0 metre right-of-way from the
centre line of County Road 20.
A daylight (sight) triangle measuring 15 metres x 15 metres at the south comer
of the property adjacent to County Road 20 (Ridge Road West) and Line 6
South.
The applicant shall submit to the satisfaction of the County's Transportation and Engineering
Department a preliminary reference plan (3 copies) which sets out the road widening, including daylight
triangle, to be transferred to the County. Upon approval, the County will instruct the surveyor to deposit
the reference plan in the Land Registry Office for Simcoe County and request the surveyor provide the
County with 3 copies of the deposited reference plan.
All costs associated with the land transfer, including costs relating to surveying, legal fees and
disbursements, agreements, GST, etc. shall be borne by the applicant. All documentation is to be
prepared and registered by the County's Solicitor and to be executed where required by the Applicant.
The Applicant shall submit to the County's Solicitor a deposit in the amount of $2000.00 (payable to:
Graham, Wilson and Green in Trust), prior to the services being rendered; and,
3. Prior to the Township passing the by-law, the Applicant shall obtain written clearance from the
County for the above-noted conditions.
The County of Simcoe is requesting the road widening including the daylight triangle lands for road
widening purposes pursuant to section 53(12) of the Planning Act and such land will form part of the
highway to the extent of the designated widening in accordance with section 31(6) of the Municipal Act,
2001. In addition, please note that in accordance to Simcoe County Road Setback By-law 5604, all
structures and building must be located 15 metres from the limit of County Road 20.
Please forward a copy of the decision. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me,
rachelle.hamelinO-simcoe.ca or 726-9300, ext.1315 or Paul Murphy, Planning/Engineering Technician, ext.1371.
Sincerely,
