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. t.' - 2 - 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.
