To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro
not made a decision on this application, other than proceeding to
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 January 29, 1991,
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 correspondence had been received from the Simcoe
county District Health unit dated February 7, 1991, addressed to
attention of Kris Menzies, Township Planner;
"Dear Ms. Menzies:
In regard to the above noted proposal, further information is
required before we can comment. Therefore at this time I must
object to the conversion as proposed.
Yours truly,
Jerry Bruce, Public Health Inspector
Simcoe County District Health unit"
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
proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment.

Kris Menzies:
The applicants are the owners of Lot 30,
Plan 875, Concession 9, in the Township of
Oro. The applicants are proposing to
rezone certain lands from Seasonal
Residential to allow for a permanent
residential use. The requested zoning is
General Residential. The existing
Plan designation is Shoreline Residential
and the Shoreline Residential designation
allows for General Residential zones.
The subject property has adequate area
adequate frontage etc. for the conversion
to take place.
The Planning Department would respectful
like Council to consider a site Specific
Inspection of the Accessory Building that
is on the property, prior to any decision
being granted, in order to adequately
determine that a second residential
dwelling is not located on the structure.
Jim Cowie:
The area down there being Shoreline
Residential and with people living there
all year round; I don't see the purpose
rezoning and putting you people to all
trouble.
I would like to comment on the accessory
building and in looking at it I think it
facing the wrong way; it is suppose to
facing Parks ide not towards Barrie. I
believe you granted a Building Permit and
the building seems to have swung ninety
degrees, therefore going over his septic
system, the entrance of the building. Is
that acceptable? As you are checking on
and inspecting the accessory dwellings,
maybe you want to make a note of that and
check it out.
Kris Menzies:
I believe that is the concern of the
unit in that the original drawing
to the Health unit shows the building
twisted and so does our Building Permit.
There is concern that the driveway may in
fact be on his septic system.
The Reeve after enquiring and ascertaining that there were no
further questions from those present, thanked those in attendance
for their participation and advised that Council would consider al
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.
