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.

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.
