Mayor Beard then asked the Clerk if there had been any
correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by
indicating that both the Simcoe county District Health Unit and
the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority advised they had
no objection.
The Mayor then stated that those persons present would be
afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the
proposed Amendment. He then turned the meeting over to the
Township Planner, Ms. Kris Menzies, to explain the purpose and
effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The purpose of tonight's public meeting
is to afford Council the opportunity to have public comment on
this rezoning prior to its consideration. The property is
located on Part Lot 13, Concession 3, in the former Township of
Oro. The proposal is to rezone the property from its current
Agricultural Zone to a Rural Residential Zone. The reason why
the applicant is requesting this is that they were conditionally
granted a severance by the Committee of Adjustment. One of the
conditions on that severance is that the lot, which is to be
used for residential purposes, is rezoned to an appropriate
category that will not only recognize its smaller lot size,
approximately an acre in size, it will also recognize the
intended use, that being residential. Thus, the Committee is of
the opinion, and this follows the policies of the Oro-Medonte
Council, that the property should be more appropriately rezoned
to a Residential category and this is why the applicant has
requested this rezoning. Those are my comments, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Beard
Thank you, Kris. Is there anybody who has any questions on this
matter? Council? Are there questions from the public on this
matter? Further questions from the public, or Council?
Council wishes to thank all those in attendance for your
participation and will consider all the matters before reaching
a decision. If anyone wishes to be notified of the passing of
the proposed By-law, would they please leave their name and
address with the Clerk.
