Reeve Robert E. Drury chaired the meeting.
Reeve Robert E. Drury opened the meeting by explaining to those
present that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments
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 Part
Block B, Plan 798, Concession 8, (Fenton).
To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro
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 26, 1993, to
all property owners within 120 metres of the subject lands.
Reeve Robert E. Drury then asked the Clerk if there had been any
correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by
indicating that one letter had been received from the Simcoe
District Health unit indicating they had no objection to the
application.
The 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 Township
Ms. Kris Menzies, to explain the purpose and effect of the
zoning By-Law Amendment.
Kris Menzies:
The property is located on Part Block B,
Plan 798. The purpose of the public
meeting this evening is to afford Council
the opportunity to hear public comment on
the rezoning application, prior to
Council's consideration. The request is
for a rezoning from Shoreline Residential
to General Residential to allow the
conversion of the property from a Seaso
Use to a year-round use. certain
qualifiers include minimum lot frontage
requirements in the Official Plan,
lot area requirements. This property
satisfies both. Typically, Council wants

Kris Menzies:
to hear from the Health unit in order to
determine that the septic system is
appropriate for year-round use.
For Council's benefit, staff today
a call from the Health unit with concerns
about this property and as you heard they
have sent in a letter saying that they
no objection. The staff was told that
would be sending in a letter of objection
by fax today. We did not receive that, s
I intend on straightening that matter out
with the Health unit tomorrow. When I
called at about 4:25 p.m., both the
secretary and Bernie and Jerry Bruce were
gone for the day and I didn't have an
opportunity to find out specifically what
their concerns are. So this application
may be delayed coming to Council for your
consideration until we can determine if
problem can be rectified.
There being no questions or comments, when being called for the
third time, the 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.
