Mayor Ian Beard opened the meeting and the Clerk explained to those present that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments with respect to the new draft Zoning By- law, under Section 34 of the Planning Act RS.O. 1990 c.P.13. The proposed Zoning By- law will implement the new Township Official Plan, which was adopted by Council on February 5, 1997. The new Zoning By-law is intended to replace the five existing Zoning By-laws that formerly applied to the Township of Oro, and portions of the Township of Medonte, Orillia, Flos and Vespra. To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro-Medonte have not made a decision on the draft new Zoning By-law, other than proceeding to this Public Meeting. Only after comments are received from the Public, requested agencies and Township sta within the appropriate time period, will Council make a decision on the draft new Zoning By-law. Notice of the Public Meeting was placed in the Barrie Examiner, Orillia Packet and Times and Midland Free Press on April 17, 1997.

When you have five different by-laws with five different standards and sets of standards and five different sets of permitted uses, we had to be very, very careful that when we started combining things that we were not creating situations where one former part of the municipality a certain permitted use was no longer permitted for whatever reason or the standards have change such that (inaudible) so we certainly tried to make sure that the standards were looked at very carefully in order that situations were not created. The third principal that was applied here was that every effort was made to make the by- law and the mapping as clear and concise as possible. We tried to use tables as much a possible throughout the by-law and the mapping is also being created very detailed and we are using the same type of maps as we used in the Official Plan. We've also tried to effectively implement the Official Plans goal in simulating economic activity were ever possible. This means broadening community service in certain areas especially in Industrial and Commercial areas. I will very briefly go through some of the zoning document. It is very lengthy and very, ve technical. I will briefly explain what zones are in this by-law and what their intent is, where they apply in a very general sense. If you have questions, I will be happy to answer them There are twenty-one zones in the proposed by-law. There are six residential zones.

Rhonda Leeman: Speaking on behalf of Mrs. Wiles Lot 5, Plan 712 objects to the H (holding) symbol being placed on land.

Lot 21 and the matters concerning Pits and Quarries will be looked at . Deputy Mayor: Agriculture uses in Pits and Quarries is already covered in County Plan.

Mr. Anderson: Mineral Aggregate Resources Two has no markings on the third line to a certain point and was seeking clarification as to whether this was a Shoreline Residential Zone.

There being no further questions or comments, when being called for the third time, the Mayor in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their participation and advised that Council would consider all matters before reaching a decision.
