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 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 Lots 80
and 81, Plan 589, Concession 8, (Ferris).
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.
Reeve Robert E. Drury 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, namely the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority, stating the property was
outside their watershed and also a letter from the Simcoe County
District Health Unit, indicating they were not opposed 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 proposal before you is for Lot 80 and
81, Plan 589 in the Township of Oro. The
purpose of the rezoning is to convert the
property from a Shoreline Residential Use
to a General Residential Use and the
purpose of the Public Meeting is to allow
Council the opportunity to hear comments
from members of the Public, prior to makin
their decision on the rezoning.

Kris Menzies:
The reason the applicant is requesting the
rezoning is the applicant wishes to have
year round use of the dwelling unit. The
effect of the rezoning would allow the
conversion from a seasonal residential use
to a permanent residential use. The
Official Plan for the Township of Oro has
certain requirements which could
potentially qualify for a conversion in th
municipality and this particular lot does
comply to those requirements, being a
minimum lot frontage and a minimum lot
area. Another consideration which the
municipality takes into consideration,
prior to looking at a rezoning of such a
property is whether or not the Simcoe
County District Health unit or the Ministr
of the Environment has concerns with the
conversion.
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.
