DEPUTATIONS: a) 7:30 p.m. Mr. Marshall Green, Solicitor, representing Mr. and Mrs. Robert Strachan, addressed Council regarding a proposed severance which would require an Official Plan Amendment. Planner, Kris Menzies was also in attendance. The for which the severance is being sought, consists of some forty-eight acres and is located on Part of Lot 23, Concession 8. The applicant had previously owned lands to the North and East of this parcel, comprised of approximately 180 acres. The intention at time was to take a retirement lot off this larger parcel, prior to a sale. However, the Committee of Adjustment had concerns based on the placement and/or size of the proposed lot. - 2 - The transaction closed before the severance could be granted or denied and therefore the application was withdrawn. It was suggested by the ontario Municipal Board to the solicitor at the time that they apply for a minor variance 0 the 48 acres. The Committee of Adjustment denied the application. Mr. Strachan is now seeking direction from Council as to whether it would be prudent to apply for an Official Plan and zoning By-Law Amendment on the 48 acre parcel, to allow the retirement lot on a portio of land not considered to be high class agricultural lands. Mr. Green stated that as the amendment would be site specific, he felt that any precedent setting aspect would be very weak. Council suggested that if an application is brought forward that it would without a doub have to prove that no precedent setting policy would exist. b) 8:20 p.m. Fred Haughton, Public Services Administrator, spoke to Council regarding Ministry of Transportation Supplementary requests for funding for 1992 Projects.
