Deputy Reeve David Caldwell opened the meeting by explaining to
those present that this Public Meeting was to obtain public comment
with respect to a proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment, pursuant to the
provisions of the Planning Act, 1983, section 34 (12). The
applicant has applied to rezone certain lands described as the Lot
17, Plan M-447, Concession 4, (Cross Country Homes) to RG-5.
TO DATE, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro have
not made a decision on this application other than proceeding to a
Public Meeting. Only after comments are received from the Public,
Township Staff and requested Agencies within the appropriate time
period, will Council make a decision on this application.
NOTICE of the Public Meeting was mailed out on May 2, 1991, to all
property owners within 400 feet of the subject lands. Notice of th
Public Meeting was also placed in both the Barrie Examiner and
Orillia Packet and Times on May 2, 1991.
The Deputy Reeve then asked the Clerk if there had been any
correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by
indicating that correspondence had been received from the
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority indicating that this
proposal was outside their watershed and therefore did not have a
comment.
The Deputy Reeve then stated that those persons present would be
afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the
proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment.
Deputy Reeve David Caldwell 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:
This is one of the parcels up in Horseshoe
Valley and it fronts on Valleycrest Drive.
It is currently designated under the
Official Plan for Residential Use and it i
also zoned for Residential Use. This is
another request for a site specific Genera
Residential Zone. This site specific
amendment would in effect allow something
.

Kris Menzies:
that our current policies do not allow.
The policies in Oro Township today do not
allow for detached accessory dwelling in
the front yard of a lot. The proponents 0
the application want to build a garage in
the front yard of the lot and due to the
topography of the lot it is very very
difficult to site a detached dwelling
anywhere else in order to get a car up to
it. The effect of the proposal would be t
allow the applicants to build a garage,
which is a detached accessory dwelling, in
the front yard of the property.
The Deputy Reeve after enquiring and ascertaining that there were n
questions from those present, 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.

country Homes, Lot 17, Plan M-447, Concession 4) now be adjourned @
