1391088 Ontario Ltd. (Stand Fast Investments)
Concession 14, Part of Lot 16 (Medonte)
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
P-142/02
In Attendance: Mr. Calvin Grant, Applicant
Ms. Leigh explained the background on this application and reviewed her planning
report with the Committee. The property is located within the Rural Settlement Area of
Warminster and is subject to the policies contained in Section D4.3.3, which are the
requirements for new commercial uses. The application appears to conform with those
policies as the intended self-storage units would only be located within the existing
building and no outdoor storage would be permitted. The property would also be
subject to Site Plan Control prior to consideration of a Zoning By-law Amendment.
The Committee had a number of items for discussion including: parking requirements,
fire code compliance, public access to the storage units. The applicant indicated that he
had been working with the fire department, that the access was to be limited through the
existing post office hours, and that parking would be addressed through the site plan
process.

Lot 6 (Medonte) 9813 Highway 12, a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
proceed to a Public Meeting in accordance with the requirements of the
Planning Act"
Carried.
7:10 p.m.
Pabar Marketing Corporation (Agent - Quality Homes)
P-144/03
Concession 10, West Part of Lot 20 (Oro)
In Attendance: Mr. Bob Stewart, Agent
Ms. Leigh explained the background on this application and reviewed her planning
report with the Committee. The property is located between Highway 11 and School
House Road east of Line 9 South and is currently designated Agricultural. The owner
has submitted an Official Plan Amendment to re-designate the subject property to a
Commercial designation and is currently completing the additional studies required by
the Municipality. The Temporary Use By-law if approved would permit the use to initiate
prior to the completion of the Official Plan Amendment. If the Official Plan Amendment
were not adopted by the Municipality the Temporary Use By-law would lapse and the
use would be required to cease. Securities would be required to be posted with the
Municipality to ensure removal of the buildings if a permanent change in the designation
and zoning was not successful. Ms. Leigh explained that the current Agricultural/Rural
zoning would permit the house with basement and the storage building to remain on site
if no change in zoning to commercial was successful and would only require the removal
of the other two modular homes and the concrete pads there are constructed on.

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
P-132/02
In Attendance: No One
Ms. Leigh reviewed her report with the Committee and explained that the property was
located within the Rural Settlement Area designation and the intended self-storage use
was permitted within this designation. The property is subject to site plan approval to
ensure that a number of matters raised at the public meeting by the residents are
addressed to the satisfaction of the Municipality. These would include parking and
loading facilities, landscaping and/or fencing requirements, signage and lighting. The
applicant has submitted the site plan application but is currently obtaining the
appropriate site plan drawings before the application is circulated to the Site Plan
Committee for consideration. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would be
subject to a Holding Provision that would not be removed until the Site Plan Agreement
and Drawing are considered favorably by Council.
Moved by Bob Barlow, seconded by Susan Grant

Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment
P-145/03
In Attendance: Mr. Ken Secord, Applicant
Ms. Leigh reviewed her planning report with the Committee and explained that the
property is currently designated Commercial and therefore is subject to the policies of
Section D8A which addressed the matters to be considered when the site plan
application is submitted. The applicant is currently operating a retail business on the
property and is requesting permission to include auction sales as part of this commercial
business, which would be held through the week primarily, and not weekends. This use
would be a supplement to the existing commercial business. Ms. Leigh indicated that
the property and the proposed use would be subject to site plan approval to ensure that
parking and loading facilities, accessory outdoor storage, and other landscaping
measures are addressed to the satisfaction of the Municipality.

Mark Porter and Greg Bell
Concession 2, Part of Lot 2 (Oro)

In Attendance: No One
Ms. Leigh reviewed her planning report with the Committee and explained that the
zoning by-law amendment no longer included provisions for sanitary facilities in the
boathouse but did continue to permit a deck in the shoreline area, which would still
require a permit from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. Ms. Leigh
explained that the application conformed with the requirements of the Official Plan and
would correct a number of technical matters on the subject properties.
Moved by Susan Grant, seconded by Fran Sutton
