Mike Gannon P-128/01
Concession 13, South Part of Lot 1 (Medonte)
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
In Attendance: No One
Ms. Leigh explained that this application had been submitted as a condition of consent
that had been granted by the Committee of Adjustment in 2001. She explained that the
property was located on Catherine Street which had a plan of subdivision on the east
side of the road and had identified the west side of the road as Rural Residential in the
Official Plan to allow for the development of lots on both sides of the existing road. She
explained that the intent of the zoning by-law amendment would be to recognize the lot
frontage and lot area of the two lots that had been created by consent.
Moved by Peter Wigham, seconded by Susan Grant
"It is recommended to Council that the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for
Development Application P-128/01 (Mike Gannon), Concession 13, South Part of
Lot 1 (Medonte), as a condition of consent for two residential lots proceed to a
Public Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act."

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment

Ms. Leigh explained that the applicant's solicitor had sent a request by facsimile today
requesting a deferral until the March meeting of the Committee in order to provide an

Committee.
Chuck and Bonnie Hamilton P-130/02
Concession 8, Part of Lot 16 (Medonte)
Proposed Temporary Use By-law Amendment
In Attendance: Chuck and Bonnie Hamilton, Applicant's
Ms. Leigh explained the changes that had occurred in the Planning Act to permit Garden
Suites (Granny Flats) as a temporary use for a period of ten years. She explained that
the Act allowed for Council to enter into an agreement to ensure the removal of the unit
and that a standard agreement had been provided to the Committee for their
information. She explained that the unit was to be provided for the existing occupant
and was not transferable should the property be sold. She explained that the Township
has established a policy of requiring the unit to be located on the same services as the
existing dwelling to ensure that it was as temporary as possible. She further indicated
that this application conformed with the Township policy and should therefore proceed to
a Public Meeting as required by the Planning Act.
Moved by Susan Grant, seconded by Bob Barlow
"It is recommended to Council that the proposed Temporary Use By-law
Amendment to permit a Garden Suite being Development Application P-130/02
(Hamilton), Concession 8, Part of Lot 16 (Medonte), proceed to a Public Meeting in
accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act."
