Mayor Ian Beard opened the meeting by explaining to those present
that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments with
respect to a proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment, under provisions of
section 34, of the Planning Act. The applicant has applied to
rezone certain lands, Part of Lot 4, Concession 8, former Township
of Oro, to recognize a new residential use and to satisfy a
condition of the Committee of Adjustment.
To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro-
Medonte have not made a decision on this application, other than
proceeding to this Public Meeting. Only after comments are
received from the Public, requested agencies and Township Staff,
within the appropriate time period, will Council make a decision on
this application.
Notice of the Public Meeting was mailed out on December 29, 1994,
to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject lands.
Mayor Beard then asked the Clerk if there had been any
correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by
indicating that no correspondence had been received.
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.

Rris Menzies
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The property is located on West Part of Lot
4, Concession 8 in the former Township of Oro. It fronts on the
7th Concession Road. The purpose of tonight's meeting is to allow
Council to hear public comment on the rezoning prior to making a
decision on whether or not it should be approved or denied. The
reason that the application is coming before Council, is that the
applicant applied previously to the Committee of Adjustment for a
severance. That severance was conditionally granted and one of the
conditions was that the property be rezoned to more appropriately
reflect its use. Current zoning on the property is Agriculture;
the proposed zoning is Rural Residential and the intended use is
for a single family dwelling unit and the Committee was of the
opinion, following the policies of the Council of Oro-Medonte, that
it would be more appropriately rezoned to a residential use and
thus, the applicant has asked for the Rural Residential rezoning.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Beard
Are there any questions on this particular application? Council?
And members of the public? A second time, any further questions?
For the third time, are there any further questions. Hearing none.
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.
MOTION NO.1
Moved by Dickie, seconding by Martin
Be it resolved that this Special Meeting of Council (Part of Lot 4,
Concession 8, formerly Township of Oro) now be adjourned at 7:18
p.m.
Carried.
