Deputy Reeve David Caldwell chaired the meeting. Deputy Reeve David Caldwell opened the meeting by explaining to those present that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments with 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 Lot 30, Plan 705, Concession 5, (Evans). 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 May 14, 1992, to all property owners within 400 feet of the subject lands. Deputy Reeve David Caldwell then asked the Clerk if there had been any correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by indicating that two letters had been received; one from the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, stating they had no objection as the property was outside their watershed jurisdiction. The other correspondence received was from the Ministry of the Environment stating they had approved a Class 6 aerobic sewage disposal system in 1989 under the presumption that the property would ultimately be occupied on a permanent year round basis, and therefore, had no objection. 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. ~ ~ "" - 2 - Kris Menzies: The property is located in Lot 30, Plan 705, Concession 5. The proposal is a rezoning from the Shoreline Residential Zone to the General Residential Zone and the effect of the rezoning is to change a Seasonal Occupancy only provision in the By-Law to a Permanent Occupancy provision in the By-Law. The subject property adheres to the minimum Lot Frontage required, however it does not adhere to th minimum square area required. The I applicants in late 1991 went to the Committee of Adjustment for a variation on that requirement. The Committee of Adjustment did grant that variation and it was uncontested. To date, the application does adhere to the policies of the Township. The purpose of this Public Meeting is so Council can be afforded comments from the Public. Alan Wayne: Could you tell me the actual lot size? Kris Menzies: The requirement under the policy is 1100 square metres unless the Committee of Adjustment finds it appropriate that a siz smaller than that would be adequate. The Evans property is just under that at 954.5 square metres. steve Agh: What is the frontage? Kris Menzies: The requirement under the policy is 15 metres and the Evans have a frontage of 20.88 metres, so it is well above the minimum. There being no further questions or comments, the Deputy Reeve in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their participation and 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. MOTION NO.1 Moved by Crokam, seconded by Mortson Be it resolved that this Special Public Meeting of Council (Evans, Lot 30, Plan 705, Concession 5) now be adjourned @ 7:10 p.m. Carried ~.d / p ~ ~ ~Qc.h.¡ d¥'-. /.
