Deputy Reeve David Caldwell chaired the meeting.
Councillor Mortson declared a monetary Conflict of Interest as he i
a joint owner of the subject property and vacated his chair.
Deputy Reeve Caldwell opened the meeting by explaining to those
present that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments wit
respect to a proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment, pursuant to
provisions of the Planning Act, 1983, section 34 (12). The
applicant has applied to rezone certain lands described as South
Part Lot 17 and Part Lot 18, Concession 6, (Mortson).
To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro have
not made a decision on this application, other than proceeding to
this Public Meeting. Only after comments are received from the
Public, requested agencies and Township Staff, within the
appropriate time period, will Council make a decision on this
application.
Notice of the Public Meeting was mailed out on August 14, 1992, to
all property owners within 120 metres of the subject lands. Notice
of the Public Meeting was also placed in both the Barrie Examiner
and Orillia Packet on August 14, 1992.
Deputy Reeve David Caldwell then asked the Clerk if there had been
any correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by
indicating that a letter had been received from the Nottawasaga
Valley Conservation Authority stating they had no objection to the
amendment as it was located outside their jurisdiction.
The Deputy Reeve then stated that those persons present would be
afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the
proposed Amendment. He then turned the meeting over to the Townshi
Planner, Ms. Kris Menzies, to explain the purpose and effect of the
proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment.
Kris Menzies:
The subject property is on the South Part
of Lot 17 and Part of Lot 18, Concession 6.
The purpose of the Public Meeting this
evening is to afford Council the
opportunity to hear any comments the Publi

Kris Menzies:
may want to provide in regards to a
rezoning application.
As a little bit of background, the Officia
Plan in section 5.9.7 which is our
Agricultural policies does provide
provisions for a second residential
dwelling unit to be located on an
agriculturally designated property and
there are certain conditions in which the
applicant must satisfy to Council's
satisfaction in order to qualify for such
structure. One of the items which Council
if they agree with the proponent, after
receiving comments from the Public, would
have to fulfil, is a zoning amendment whic
is what the applicants have requested for
this evening. The Agricultural Zoning on
the property, and under the Agricultural
Zoning By-Law, in section 6.1.1. does
permit a second residential dwelling unit
if the proponent and Council approves. It
is not a site specific zoning but it is a
provision to amend the General provisions
of the Zoning By-Law to site Specifically
identify the property in which the second
dwelling unit would be located. If the
proponent adheres to the Official Plan
Policies, Council after due consideration
of the agency and Public comments, agrees
that a second residence can go on the
property, then a general provision in the
Zoning By-Law, section 5.24 will be amende
to permit the second residential dwelling
unit to be located on the property. I
believe Mr. and Mrs. Mortson are here and
they may be able to afford the Public in
regards to any questions that they might
have or to further explain what their
proposal is.
There being no questions or comments, the Deputy Reeve in closing
the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their participation an
advised that Council would consider all matters before reaching a
decision. He then advised those present that if they wished to be
notified of the passing of the proposed By-law, they should leave
their name and address with the Clerk.
