18 Lakeshore Road East, Plan 655, Lot 10
Relief from Shoreline Residential (SR) Zone, Maximum Height, Maximum Lot Coverage,
Maximum Floor Area (Detached Accessory Building).
Garry and Marie Potter, applicants, were present.
Correspondence received July 20, 2011 from Garry Potter was received by the Committee.
Mr. Potter provided a detailed overview of his submission.
Correspondence dated July 20, 2011 from Clive Algie and Julie Parna was received by the
Committee. Mr. Algie provided a detailed overview of their submission.
Kevin Horner expressed concerns over the changes to the original submission without
notice to the neighbours, the height of the new proposal and the height of the proposed
doors.
Rusty and Kelly Hastings expressed concerns that the drawings provided by the applicant
were not to scale, that allowing a garage to be built without a home on the property would
allow future owners the opportunity to operate a commercial establishment, and that the
proposal would lower adjacent property values.
Glen Stangl reiterated Mr. Horner's concerns, added that the approval could create the
requirements of variances for any future house or septic to be built on the property, and
that the proposal would result in the view from his property to go from a view of open space
to a view of a massive wall.
Walter Stapiak noted that the proposal would allow for the storage and repair of motor
vehicles which is not conducive to a residential area and reiterated the Hastings' concern of
future commercial use.
