The purpose of this meeting tonight is to obtain comments from the public before Council considers this amendment. The proposed amendment would rezone a portion of land in Concession 2, Lot 16 to permit a temporary use. This temporary use would be for a "Garden Suite" for a maximum period of ten years. The subject property is located at the intersection of the 15/16 Side Road and Line 2 North. The parcel subject to the temporary use is highlighted in red (shown on map). The effect of this amendment would be to permit the construction of a one unit detached residential structure for a maximum time period of ten years. This temporary use is permitted under Section 39 of the Planning Act and permits Council to enter into the appropriate agreements with the owner under Section 207.2 of the Municipal Act, 1994, c.2, s.44(1). As I indicated previously, tonight's meeting is solely to obtain public comments with respect to the temporary use prior to Council's consideration. Brian Thompson: Mr. Thompson questioned the comments made by Mr. & Mrs. Heal regarding the road and if this was relevant. An explanation of how the garden suite operates with respect to whether it is totally separate regarding septic systems and water. Andria Leigh: The new Planning Act, which came into force and efffect in 1995 under Bill 20, includes a new provision under temporary uses which allows for what the province terms as a "Garden Suite" with a permitted time period of 10 years. The definition provides for a "Garden Suite" is as follows: A one - unit detached residential structure containing a bathroom and kitchen facilties that is ancillary to an existing residential structure and that is designed to be portable. With respect to your comments on building. A building permit would be required for the "garden suite" and all building code requirements would be required to be adhered to. Walter Dickie: Andria, what is the size of the lot? Andria Leigh: The lot is 25 acres. Walter Dickie: Does it have a separate entrance? Andria Leigh: Yes, due to the flood plain area beside the existing house the granny flat may not be located off the same driveway and therefore the garden suite would require it's own entrance. 11 U] - 3 - Jacquie Besse: Can Andria read the notice? Andria Leigh: Take Notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro-Medonte will hold a Public Meeting on Wednesday, November 6, 1996 at 7:05 p.m. in the Municipal Council Chambers to consider a proposed amendment to the Zoning By-law, under Sections 34 and 39 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.
