Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
In Attendance: Markus Schneider, Applicant
Ms. Leigh explained that the applicant was praposing a site specific amendment
to permit the sales of former military vehicles and trailers from the property. She
explained that the applicant was currently utilizing the property and had been
advised that a zoning by-law amendment was required for such a use on the
property. The intent would be that only the required uses would be added to the
agricultural/rural zone to ensure that other commercial uses were not permitted
on the site.
The applicant explained that they currently has some fencing in placed to ensure
the use was buffered from Line 7 and that as they lived on the site they wanted it
to look presentable.
The Committee discussed only zoning a portion of the property to ensure the use
is contained within a defined area. The property would also be subject to site
plan approval if the zoning by-law amendment was considered favorably. The
Committee ensured that the applicant had no intention of any development in the
vicinity of the wetland/creek area at the back of the property.
Ms. Leigh indicated that she believed it was important to obtain a concept plan of
the site showing locations of buildings, parking and outdoor storage locations
prior to proceeding to a pUblic meeting to ensure that sufficient information was
available to the public regarding the praposal.
