Reeve Robert E. Drury 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
Part Lot 20, Concession 1, (Simoro).
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 January 15, 1993, 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 January 15, 1993.
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 Nottawasaga
Valley Conservation Authority, stating 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 Planner
Ms. Kris Menzies, to explain the purpose and effect of the proposed
Zoning By-Law Amendment.
Kris Menzies:
The application is for a rezoning from
Rural Residential to Open Space (OSl). Th
property is located on Part of Lot 20,
Concession 1 and it hosts currently a
single family residence and a golf course
club house which is associated with Simoro
Golf Links Golf Course.

Kris Menzies:
The reason for the application and the
reason for the Public Meeting this evening
is to afford Council the opportunity to
allow the public to comment on the rezonin
application, prior to making a decision.
The reason for the application is that Mr.
VanVeld who is the owner of the Simoro Gol
Course wishes to bring the Rural
Residentially zoned property into
conformity with the Official Plan. The
Official Plan designation which underlies
the property is a recreational designation.
From a land use standpoint, a Rural
Residential zone on a recreational
designation is not appropriate. An OSl
zone is more appropriate for the property
and Mr. VanVeld wishes to bring this into
conformity with the plan.
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.
MOTION NO.1
Moved by Mortson, seconded by Crawford

Council (Part Lot 20, Concession 1, Simoro) @ 7:12 p.m.
