Reeve Robert E. Drury opened the meeting by explaining to those
present that this Public Meeting was to obtain public comments 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 West
Half of Lot 17, Concession 9, (Lucas).
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 February 25, 1991, t
all property owners within 400 feet 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 no correspondence had been received.
The Reeve then stated that those persons present would be afforded
the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed
Zoning By-Law Amendment.
Reeve Robert E. Drury 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 purpose of the amendment in effect is to
rezone a parcel of land which was conditionally
granted by consent from an Agricultural Zone to
a Rural Residential (RUR) Zone. The request fo
the rezoning is in conformity with the policies
of the Township of Oro Official Plan.

Kris Menzies:
The Planning Department comments are as follows
The purpose of the condition we granted the lot
addition was to change an existing legal non-
conforming Rural Residentially Zoned Lot to a
legal conforming lot. The addition in rezoning
in effect would produce a lot that will conform
to the minimum requirements of the Township
Zoning By-Law. The parcel to be added to the
residential lot does not appear to be in
agriculture production. If the rezoning is not
granted the severance will become null and void
The Planning Department's recommendation was
that a Public Meeting be held this date, March
18, 1991, as the application for Consent B22/90
will lapse on June 15, 1991.
The parcel is located on the West Half of Lot
17, Concession 9, and it is a lot addition of
46' X 200' to an existing legal non-conforming
lot.
The Reeve after enquiring and ascertaining that there were no
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.
MOTION NO.1
Moved by Burton, seconded by Caldwell
Be it resolved that the Special Public Meeting of Council (Lucas,
West Half Lot 17, Concession 9) be adjourned @ 7:08 p.m.
