THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT
The following Amendment to the Official Plan for the Township of Oro-Medonte
consists of three parts,
PART A- THE PREAMBLE-
consists of the purpose, location and basis
for the Amendment and does not constitute
part of the actual Amendment
PART B THE AMENDMENT -
which sets out the actual Amendment and
consists of the text, constitutes Amendment
No.3 to the Official Plan of the Township of
Oro-Medonte.
PART C - THE APENDICES -
consists of information pertinent to this
Amendment in the form of background
information, This section does not
constitute part of the actual Amendment.
.
PART A - THE PREAMBLE
1.0 Purpose
.
The purpose of this Amendment it to add additional policies to the Agricultural and
Rural Designations to establish a list of criteria to be reviewed for the creation of any new
lot on a property which currently has two detached dwelling which were legally created
in compliance with an Official Plan or alternate policy.
2.0 Location
This Amendment is general in nature and would apply to all lands within the boundaries
of the Township ofOro-Medonte which are within the Agricultural and Rural
designations.
3.0 Basis
This amendment originated from a number of property owners approaching the Township
Planner, Council, and the Committee of Adjustment for consents to allow for one of the
two existing detached dwellings to be severed on their property. Previously all proposals
were denied by the respective authority and it was felt that these properties could remain
legal and non-conforming until such time as one dwelling was demolished. This however
does not solve the current problem only prolongs it to a future date. The Official Plan for
Oro-Medonte no longer permits a second dwelling to be constructed for any purpose and
therefore no additional properties will be permitted a second dwelling on one parcel.
This amendment will be reviewed at the time of the five year review with the idea that all
the existing properties will have been granted consent and this policy will no longer be
required.
PART B - THE AMENDMENT
1.0 Introd uction
All of this part of the Amendment entitled Part B - The Amendment, which consists of
the following text, constitutes Amendment NO.3 to the Official Plan of the Township of
Oro-Medonte.

Policy for Severance of
two dwelling properties
Planning
Date:

August 20, 1998
Date:
Background:
F unher to Council's direction of July 15, 1998 this report provides Council with the complete background of
the process which was undertaken in 1997 to review properties with two dwellings and provides Council
with a comprehensive policy to permit severances of these properties. (See Attachment #1 - Reports 1997-24
and 1997-40)
In 1997 a review was conducted of all properties which currently had two dweJ]jngs. At that time Council
had received two requests for consideration of special circumstances to allow for these properties to be
severed The review by the undersigned involved obtaining from the assessment and building records all
properties which indicated they had two dwellings as well as site visits of all properties.
Attached to this report are maps showing the location of each of the properties with two dwellings
(Attachment #2).
In October 1997 a proposed Official Plan Amendment was provided to Council for consideration. (See
Attachment # 1 -Report 1997-56) At thattirne approval of such a policy was not recommended since it was
felt that there was no plarmingjustification for the change in the Official Plan and the new Official Plan was
currently under appeal. This recommendation was upheld by Council. The problem of two dwelling
properties does however still exist and landowners will continue to come to Council requesting special
permission to sever one of the two dwellings. Some of these landowners are facing some hardship as a result
of the existing situation since it difficult to sell or mortgage these properties.
The Official Plan does not contain policies to permit any additional situations of two dwellings on one
property to occur, all existing situations are considered legal and non-conforming, as a result the
development of a second dwelling on the property is not permitted in the Township.
The majority of the Official Plan is now in force and effect. Given the hardship being faced by some of the
landowners, changing farm practices, and the prohibition on permitting further second dwellings, it is my
opinion that an Official Plan Amendment should be considered by Council.
Such an amendment can be considered by Council, notwithstanding Section 13 (Amendments to the Plan),
since the amendment will deal with an issue on a comprehensive, rather than on a site-specific basis,
All the, curreht properties which I : two dwellings are located in either t \gricultwal or Rural
(iesignation in the Official PIan. On the basis of a detailed review of each of these properties. it has been
determined that nine J'I OfJ"1 ties are the site of a second dwelling that was either legally constructed in
accordance with former Official Plan policy or pre-existed the first Official PIan. Those properties which
are the site of an additional dwelling that was not constructed in accordance with previous Official Plan
policy should, in my opinion, not be eligible for a severance. The nine properties are listed in Attachment
#2.
It is proposed that the Official Plan be amended to pernrit the Committee of Adjustment to grant severance
on properties which are the site of two legally existing dwellings subject to a number of criteria being met.
These criteria are listed in Attachment #3.
. proposed policies are general in nature and provide guidelines for the Committee of Adjustment to
ow. Each property owner would be required to apply for a consent application and would be reviewed
site specifically by the Committee of Adjustment taking into consideration the unique characteristics of the
application ego lot size, house location, driveway access, and septic field location..
Upon approval of the proposed recommendation, a formal Public Meeting is required in accordance with
the Planning Act and the Township Official Plan.. This meeting will ensure that the public and any
landowner with such a property is aware of the meeting and come to Council to make their comments
known. Notification of such a meeting would be done through the newspapers with notification by mail to
all property owners on the attached list of two dwelling properties.
Recommendation:
1. That this report be received;
2. That a Public Meeting be scheduled to consider the attached Official Plan Amendment.
Respectfully Submitted,

Status of Proposed Policy Planning
for Severance of two
dwellings properties
Date:
August 26, 1997
Date:
>
Backl!l'ound:
Further to the meeting in June 1997 a review has been conducted of all properties in Oro-Medonte which
have two dwellings located on an individual property. There are currently a total oW properties
which would have two dwellings on their lot. Four properties are in the former Township ofOro, eight in
the former Township ofMedonte, and one in the former Township ofFIos. These properties range in size
ftom 8 acres to over 190 acres, The attached list Sllmm~rises the properties, their parcel size, when the two
dwellings were constructed and the number of severances.
It was discussed at a Committee of the Whole meeting in June that an interim policy should be established
by Council to permit the severance of the second dwelling on these properties for a set period of time to
address the potential legal non-conforming status of these properties. And further that such a policy should
consider good planning principles and ensure the least amount of land is removed from agricultural/rural
purposes and only the minimum amount required for the house and septic system should be severed. The
intent discussed at the Committee meeting was to establish a form of interim policy for the Committee of
Adjustment to review in their consideration of these thirteen parcels,
After further review, it has been determined that an Official Plan Amendment is the policy change which is
necessary; it is the Official Plan which regulates consent applications and which is considered by the
Committee of Adjustment in their review of each consent application.
The Official Plan currently only permits a severance under the following circumstances:
1. the original parcel is a minimum of36 hectares (90 acres) in size;
2. a lot has not been severed since 1973 (Oro), 1980 (Medonte), 1976 (Flos); and
3. the lot to be severed is for a bona fide retiring farmer
The criteria which would be ir
, consider the following:
orated into the Official Plan Amenc, for Council's review would
1. the minimwn amount of land required for the severance
2. the status of the road on which the property fronts and
3. whether or not suitable water and sewage supply are available to the property,
4. to preserve agricultural land and remove only the minimwn amount ofland necessary for the dwelling
and the septic system
After the draft policy is review by Council at their next meeting, a public meeting is required to be held in
4icordance with the provisions of the Planning Act. The thineen property owners would specifically be
tifled of the proposed policy change in order to obtain their comments. After this public meeting and
tential revisions arising from the meeting, the amendment would be brought forward to Council for their
consideration for adoption.
If the Official Plan amendment is approved by Council, it would be the role of the Committee of Adjustment
to ensure that all applications received are considered on the basis of the new policy and to review each
application based on its own merits.
Recommendation:
-
1. That this report be received; and
2. That Council direct staff to bring forward the draft amendment at the next meeting

Policy for Severance of
two dwelling properties
Planning
Date:
tion #
October 29, 1997
Date:
Background:
Further to Council's direction attached is the draft Official Plan Amendment which would consider
severances of properties which currently have two dweJJings.
This proposed policy would have to be considered as an amendment to the new document; during initial
discussions about this policy it was intended that the amendment would be made to the existing Official Plan
and would therefore lapse once the new Official Plan came into force and effect. Due to the rimmK and
research required for consideration of this policy it was not possible to completed this process under the old
Official Plan.
If Council decides to proceed with the amendment to the new Official Plan the main concerns wbich should
be addressed are the precendent which would be set and if there is planning justification. Section 13 of the
Oro-Medonte Official Plan restricts when amendments to the Plan should be considered favourable by
Council. A copy of Section J3 is attached. The basis for considering an amendment at this time would be a
practical justification in order to allow these propeny owners to attend to personal affairs; this is not
however a planning justification and as such should not be the basis for the consideration of an amendment.
rn 1997 two such requests were received; one by Council which was denied, and another by the Committee
of Adjustment which has been deferred. It is recommended that as only practical justification is available
that such an amendment not be considered at this time.
Recommendation:
1. That this report be received; and
2. That Council not support an amendment to the new Official Plan at this time.

SPECIAL PUBLIC MEETING
I
December 2, 1998 @ 7:05 p.m.
PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT
Present:
Mayor Ian Beard
Deputy Mayor Don Bell
Councillor Lillian McConnell
Councillor Ralph Hough
Councillor Neil Craig
Councillor Ruth Fountain
.
Absent:
Councillor Ron Sommers
Staff Present:
Keith Mathieson, Manager Public Works, Andria
Leigh, Township Planner
Also Present:
Derek Anderson. Garth Daniels. Madeleine Rowe,
Dwight Evans, Angie Leigh, Rosemary Dunsmore.
Joyce Long, Neita Keddy, Kathleen Short. Keith
Chamberlain, Paul Fallon, Robyn Fallon, Bob
Johnston, Lynda Johnston, Allan Johnson. Stephen
McCauley, Carl Arnold, David McPhee
Mayor Beard called the meeting to order and advised that all persons present
would be afforded the opportunity of asking questions in respect to the proposed
official plan amendment.
It was noted that correspondence had been received from the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing indicating that they have no concerns on the
subject amendment as they understand there are only 13 affected lots, and also
from the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority saying that based on the
mandate and policies, they have no objections to its approval.
Andria Leigh, Township Planner, gave an overview of the purpose of this meeting
and the proposed official plan amendment.
Paul Fallon asked what the impact would be on those lots where there were two
properties on one lot before the Township reverted it back to one property (when
it was originally split), Would they be able to retain the original boundaries. or
would they have to adhere to new boundaries? Where there were small lots
beforehand. will there still be allowance?
Ms. Leigh explained that if information could be provided showing that they were
two separate lots, they could ask the Township to recreate the two lots that were
there. She indicated that every situation will be different, so specific lot sizes are
not written into the official plan amendment. Provided there is a septic system on
the property and a well (either a shared well or an individual well). and the Health
Unit says that there is sufficient room for that system, we can recreate the
original parcel size.
Deputy Mayor Bell asked about a time frame for people to get started on this.
and Ms. Leigh said we would likely adopt the amendment as existing when it
comes forward to Council, but in the resolution we would indicate that this
amendment is not to be carried forward in the next review of the Official Plan at
the five year term. It should be taken out at that time.
Councillor McConnell queried whether the people at this meeting would have
time to get this done before the policy is taken away, and Ms. Leigh indicated
that since we're already a year into that process, there is only about 3-1/2 years
until the next review is started. In most cases, it takes six months to a year for a
severance, People really only have about a year to a year and a half to make the
application and get the Committee to approve it. People are encouraged to get
started as soon as possible.
.
Garth Daniels thought that right now, a farmer could build a house on his
property for his hired help, and Ms. Leigh said that this was true in the previous
official plan, but we were finding that it wasn't actually turning out to be for farm
help and it was taken out of the official plan. In the case where a farmer has
already built a house for hired help, he would still be entitled to build a retirement
house as well. It would not be three residential lots, but the farm and two
residential lots.
Madeleine Rowe asked if there was going to be any requirements needed for
approval from neighbours. Ms. Leigh indicated that as part of the Planning Act,
any application for severance under the Committee of Adjustment care requires
the Township to notify neighbours within 400 feet. Comments could then be
addressed at the Committee of Adjustment hearing.
Motion No.1
Moved by Bell, Seconded by Hough
Be it resolved that this Special Meeting of Council be adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
Carried.
