P-115/01 Concession 5, Part of Lot 27 (Ora) Proposed Official Plan & Zoning Bylaw Amendment In Attendance: Cheryl Shindruk, Applicant's Planning Consultant, Brian and Andrea Davidson, Applicants Ms. Leigh provided an update on the status of this application and explained that the applicant's had now made formal Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for a residential condominium (adult lifestyle community) and 18-hole golf course. She indicated that for the past year the applicant's had been completing the technical studies required in accordance with the Official Plan policies and that the applicant's consultant would be providing an update of the results of those studies and then presenting the studies to the Municipality for review. Ms. Leigh indicated that once the Municipality completed those reviews a further planning report would be prepared and presented to the Planning Advisory Committee with further recommendations. Ms. Shindruk, the applicant's consultant, explained the work that had been completed over the past year. She explained the technical studies that had been completed and were in the process of being presented to the Municipality for review. These included a Traffic Impact Study, an Environmental Impact Assessment, a Hydrogeological Study, a Storm Water Management Assessment, a financial impact assessment and a marketing review as required by the Official Plan. She explained that the studies generally supported the development being proposed. Ms. Shindruk explained that the application proposed approximately 300 residential units and an 18-hole executive golf course. The residential units would be mixed between detached units (200) and semi-detached units (100) and a retirement home was also proposed in the long term. The proposal was to be serviced by well and communal septic. The Committee was provided a copy of a conceptual plan, which identified the proposed road configuration, the location of the residential units, the location of the golf course, and the related facilities/utilities. The Committee discussed the location of the storm water management and communal sewage facilities, the use of lake water for irrigation purposes, the involvement of Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority, and the potential for phasing of the development. Moved by Peter Wig ham, seconded by Susan Grant "It is recommended that the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By- law Amendment for Development Application P-115/01 (Ucci), Concession 5, Part of Lots 26 to 28 (Oro), be deferred until all studies as required in accordance with the Official Plan policies are received and reviewed for a further planning report and recommendation to the Planning Advisory Committee." ...Carried. 7:10 p.m. Jonathan and Vanda Palter Concession 5, North Part of Lot 3 (Oro) Proposed Official Plan Amendment P-127/01 In Attendance: Jonathan Palter, Applicant Ms. Leigh explained the proposed Official Plan Amendment that was intended to site specifically designate this property to permit five residential severances to occur. She explained that this property was outside of the Horseshoe Resort Settlement node and that it would be premature to consider this application before the Oro Moraine Strategy was completed and the 5-year Official Plan review was underway. Mr. Palter explained that the property was currently wooded and that the development of five 7 -acre residential lots would maintain the natural character of this area. He indicated that the area was already well developed across the road and that leaving the lot as one 36-acre building lot did not make sense. The Committee asked the applicant about the servicing of the lots and if he believed this would affect the wooded nature of the property. Mr. Palter indicated that he wished to connect to the existing water system depending on the cost and that with the large lot sizes the number of trees removed for the septic and building would be minimal. Moved by Bob Barlow, seconded by Fran Sutton "It is recommended to Council that Development Application P-127/01 for Jonathan and Vanda Palter, a proposed Official Plan Amendment for Concession 5, North Part of Lot 3 (Oro), to permit five rural residential lots by consent be deferred pending completion of the Oro Moraine Land Use Strategy and the 5 year Official Plan review in 2002." ... Defeated. Moved by Don Bell, seconded by Peter Wigham "It is recommended to Council that Development Application P-127/01 for Jonathan and Vanda Palter, a proposed Official Plan Amendment for Concession 5, North Part of Lot 3 (Ora), to permit five rural residential lots by consent be denied as the application does not conform with the intent of the Official Plan pOlicies and does not represent good planning." ...Carried. 7:20 p.m. Paul Miller Concession 10, Part of Lot 20 (Ora) Proposed Official Plan Amendment P-132/02 In Attendance: No One Ms. Leigh explained that this application required additional work to be completed before a formal deputation before the Planning Advisory Committee should be considered. She explained that additional clarification was required in regards to the need for a County Official Plan Amendment and the studies that the County would require. Ms. Leigh stated that she intended to discuss the matter with the County and then provide a response to the applicant in regards to the additional materials that would be required to consider their application. She stated that this application would be consolidated into the Official Plan review for consideration but that the applicant would be required to provide technical information to support the rationale for considering such an amendment. Moved by Don Bell, seconded by Susan Grant "It is recommended that Development Application P-132/02 a proposed Official Plan Amendment be deferred until: (a) a determination is made on the need for an Amendment to the County Official Plan; (b) the required technical studies are completed and reviewed by the County; (c) the required technical studies are completed and review by the Township; and further that this application be reviewed in conjunction with the 5 year Official Plan review." ...Carried. 7:30 p.m. John Strimas Concession 8, North Part of Lot 12 (Medonte) Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment P-129/01 In Attendance: No One Ms. Leigh explained that the applicant's solicitor had sent a request by facsimile today indicating that the applicant's intended to proceed through the Committee of Adjustment for a Consent application to add the one dwelling to an adjacent vacant parcel also owned by the applicant and therefore this application was being withdrawn. 6.
